Canning wild meat

[Rhatch]

How does one go about canning their game? I know some have pretty stringent practices for best taste and am wondering if that can be applied to the canning process

Raw dry pack, 1Tblsp qt / 1tsp salt pint, jalapeño slices and give it 90 minutes at 15psi.

I just popped some 2014 jars last week and they were great.

Do you have a salt you prefer? Picked up a used pressure canner a few years ago. Need to get it tested, and can some meat this fall.

I use kosher or canning.

Don't season in the can. Just a pinch of canning salt.

When you open the jar and reheat, you can season for whatever you want- tacos, stews, stroganoff, endless possibility.

Good call!

We did ours in a stove top canner kettle. 1 Tbsp of salt. Boil 3 hours.

Nice. I've done lots of fruit and veggies. I'm gonna try it with some cow first. In case I ruin it, it's not horrielble

 

[rayporter]

my old stand by recipe is a bouillon cube, a dash of Cavender's, a dash of canning salt.
55 minutes at 15 lb..

Can you over due it? Or are the different times for different size jars?

Recently got a canner and have processed beef, chicken, duck and potatoes. For meat I do 90 minutes at 15psi and I'm at 1000m elevation. It can turn boot leather into butter.

As said earlier, you have a blank canvas and can make anything in minutes.

I was thinking about the energy efficiency of it. I wouldn't be surprised if it costs you less to process it for 90mins than to keep it frozen for 12 months. Especially considering that you still have to cook it after being frozen for 12 months.

I hope you mean pressure canning? Water bath canning is not suitable for meat and other non acidic foods. You need the pressure to raise the temperature enough to kill botulism spores. Low PH kills them and if you haven't got the low PH you need the high temps of pressure.

we do ours outside or in the basement on fish cooker burners, it makes things a lot easier.

I know it is not the correct, or safe way, but I know a handful of folks that can in the oven, or do Water bath for meat. They haven't had a negative experience, but that doesn't mean they couldn't. Meat is just to valuable to me to see it not go right and spoil. Definitely don't want anyone to get sick from something I served them.

Water bath canning my deer meat since I was 14. Never had a problem

Pressure can for sure. I've done raw and cooked. Raw is much quicker and easier. You get a lot of shrinkage in the jar. Definetally spice after then you can make whatever you want. We can at least 1 deer a year.

You guys are cubing the raw meat right? Does cube size impact results?

the only reason to cube it is to pack it in the jars. you can suit yourself as to how you pack.
cut it in big cubes or small.

Definitely one of my favorite ways to enjoy bear and deer. Pinch of salt when you can. It’s so convenient to open one up and heat it up after a long day.
