I still have a bit to use up before this season.<br /><br />Foraging, hunting and preserving are some of my favorite things to do. It's nice to be able to provide food for the table instead of relying on a store. <br /><br />Nice to meet you, cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516076315691432589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516940939413771830.post-79907288566809276352011-08-18T12:32:49.900-05:002011-08-18T12:32:49.900-05:00I make canned venison every year, but I use the sh...I make canned venison every year, but I use the shoulder and neck meat.....stuff you would normally grind into burger since the canning process will tenderize any grissle that is so full of good for me collagen. we should chat sometime--I'm a lot like you in my crusading--have owned a deer processing business for 8 years and have so many deer donated yearly that I can get real creative with Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958214119976590331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516940939413771830.post-78525408103594769712010-02-20T19:25:15.263-06:002010-02-20T19:25:15.263-06:00That's great Rachel!

We packed it raw and didn't put any liquids in it. The liquid in the jars doesn't cover the meat. It's not too terribly low, but it's about an inch below the top of the meat. Will it be ok? Other than that, it went fine and it looks very tasty.

I'm not sure what spices your friend ...Hi Lacy!<br />I'm not sure what spices your friend used with the venison but if you simmer the meat for about 10 minutes, then taste it, you can add seasonings and something to thicken up the juice to make a gravy.<br />(home canned meat is supposed to be simmered for 10 minutes before tasting to be safe). Not everyone does that though.<br /><br />I like to thicken the juice with either flourcowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516076315691432589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516940939413771830.post-43106995590222258302010-01-07T10:53:44.971-06:002010-01-07T10:53:44.971-06:00I have a jar of canned deer meat my friend gave us...I have a jar of canned deer meat my friend gave us for Christmas.

Now that I've got this meat what are some good recipes I could experiment with? Now that my two girls have seen the meat in the jars they are a little apprehensive. I need to make something that will win them over. Any suggestions??
