Canned Venison

Post by Corjack »

I was in PA a while back, and a friend had canned up some deer meat. I remember my mom and grandmother doing that, and since my deep freeze is so full I can hardly find anything, I decided to give it a try.

Cubed it up about 5/8 inch chunks. Packed it, loosely and away I went. Ended up with 6 quarts, six pints and three pints of chili.

Looks good. Next time I will pack it tighter as it really cooked down more than I figured.

That there is some good stuff!! I’ve only ever seen/heard of folks in PA doing it. I also had a PA chap that did it with black bear…better than beef!
"That if you properly respect what you are after, and shoot it cleanly and on the animal’s terrain, if you imprison in your mind all the wonder of the day from sky to smell to breeze to flowers—then you have not merely killed an animal. You have lent immortality to a beast you have killed because you loved him and wanted him forever so that you could always recapture the day." —R.Ruark

Good stuff Ron. My workmate did a bunch and we were still using it years later in curries.

I've done that for camping meals, also done it with fat which I think is easier. But it tastes good and lasts long out of the fridge which is perfect for camping as you can keep more important things like the beer cold. 😉

Hey Corjack, this is indeed very popular in Pennsylvania, I don't know anywhere else it's popular. Did you use pressure cooker? The reason I ask is apparently people are now using Instant Pot kettle's to can venison. Just wanted to ask out of curiosity.

I've got to get a pressure canner and start doing this more often.
