Does anyone here can venison? I am trying a recipe as I write this in hopes of finding more ways to eat my delicious little bites. I'm looking for advice and recipes. I have heard so many people tell me how good it is.

I would imagine you could treat venison as you would any other meat for canning mate.

Directions

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.

Two teaspoons seems like a lot of salt for canning one quart of meat. You don't need it as a preservative so why not hold off until you use it in a meal?I like to use a very hot skillet to very quickly brown the meat and then put it in the jars. Caramelizing the outside, without cooking, gives the meat more flavor, IMHO.

I opened the first jar of meat the other day and man was it yummy!!! I ate several pieces right out of the jar as I was mixing up a batch of stew. I gotta say it's a little bit more work but is definitely worth it. I think I am going to try PaulS idea and sear the meat and maybe even use caramelized onions.
