Canned Venison Meat

We love deer meat! We also enjoy in the fact that we process our own meat. While most freeze deer meat, canning is a rewarding option as well. I love the idea of saving freezer space by canning. This raw pack recipe is super easy. You will be surprised by how much broth the meat creates. Canning meat requires a pressure canner.

CUT-UP MEAT (strips, cubes, or chunks) Venison
Remove excess fat. Soak strong-flavored wild meats for 1 hour in brine water containing 1 tablespoon of salt per quart of water. Rinse. Remove large bones and cut into desired pieces.

To each quart jar add 1 tbs of Tony Chacheres and 1 tsp of black pepper.

Raw Pack—Fill jars with raw meat pieces, leaving 1-inch headspace. DO NOT ADD LIQUID. Adjust jar lids.

Dial Gauge Canner—Process at 11 pounds pressure - Quarts 90 minutes. For processing above 2,000 feet altitude, see chart for recommended pounds of pressure.

Here are the recommended guidelines to pressure canning meat on the Presto website.


The meat can be used in many recipes. Our favorite is to simply empty the contents of the jar into a pot. Add some cornstarch and heat it through until it makes gravy and serve over noodles or mashed potatoes.

This is a good recipe for the canned venison too:

But I am proud to say we do not have a mortgage payment and we do not have credit card debt either. First challenge: LAND It is good to know people. A friend sold us some land that had a structure on it that he had started himself. This is what the inside looked like: That is after cleaning it up a bit and running the electrical. It cost us more than we planned to spend. And biggest challenge. Its not finished. We really can't move into it looking like this. But look at the view: THAT'S MY BACKYARD! After ...
