Venison - Pressure Canned
- 3 lbs venison roast, cut into 1 inch cubes
- clean jars, for canning with lids (Pint or quart)
- Remove all fat from meat.
- Pack cubes tightly into clean jars, using a knife handle or handle of wooden spoon to get out any air pockets.
- Add 1 tsp salt per pint; 2 tsp salt per quart.
- Do not add any water in jars.
- Clean jar edge, add ring and top, and turn to fit snugly- not tight.
- Add jars to canner and 2 to 3" of water.
- Process at 15 pounds pressure: 75 minutes for pints; 90 minutes for quarts.
- Remove canner from heat and let jars cool slowly out of draft with weight left on canner.
- Do not put canner under cool water to cool it.
- Just go to bed and leave it over night, removing the jars from the canner the next day.
- Remove jars from canner and wash off sides of jars with soap and water to remove any broth or oil, if needed.
- If any jar doesn't seal properly, just put its contents into a zip-lock freezer bag, label and freeze.
- Do not re-process.
- This keeps well for 2 years.
- Note: A hot-water bath is not adequate for processing meats.
- You can use fresh or frozen (thawed) venison for this recipe.
- If using frozen venison, let it thaw slightly, cut into cubes, and then let it thaw completely before packing into jars.
