Default canned venison/most all meat!!

Bacterial growth is hindered by the acid in food ... and meat is very low in acid. Worse yet, certain harmful bacteria thrive where natural acidity is low, and these cannot readily be destroyed at the boiling point of 212 IF. To can meat, therefore, you must superheat it to 240F, which means it must always be processed by pressure canning... not with boiling water baths, which are fine for preserving such high-acid foods as sauerkraut.

what we do
Pack semi tightly into hot jars, leaving 1/2-inch head space.
Add 1/2 teaspoon per pint... Old World Hickory Smoked salt...found here.. [url=https://www.yourfoodstore.com/shop/product.php?productid=744]

kinda spendy but ya use very little...I use it on a lot of dishes..try it!

next cut a slice of 3/16" onion and place on top of each jar of packed meat

forgot the beef boulion cube ...1 per pint


Do not add liquid! This was the hardest part for me to get. You really don't add liquid. The meat will produce its own juice.

Sometimes this juice will not fill the jar or completely cover the meat. That is ok.

Wipe the rims of your jars clean. (real important for good seal)

Place the warmed lids and screw bands on real tight.

Place jars in your preheated pressure canner. Do your best to make sure the jars are not touching each other. For my canner this is a tight fit so sometimes it takes a little maneuvering.

Follow pressure canning instructions using the processing times below.

Don't forget to adjust the pressure requirements for your elevation.

Quarts - 1 hour 30 minutes

Farmdude01,
I've been canning (actually jarring) meat for a long time! Moose, caribou, elk, and deer. I haven't tried bear, but I suppose any meat would do. I usually "can" the tough stuff like the forearms and neck meat. I have never done quarts as when I learn how to do this in Alaska the Alaska COOP did not approve of quart jars, just pints. Most of the time we canned fish (salmon, halibut and pike); bones and all. This method of "putting food by" leave the fish bones crunchy and the tough meats like veal!!!
