I canned pints of deer meat this year. Just a half teaspoon salt was all I added. Question for you guys. Some of the jars didn't make enough liquid to cover the meat. Is this a problem? Some of them there might be an inch of meat out of the juice. That in my opinion won’t make a bit of difference in the end. Hardly anytime I canned meat did I end up with liquid covering the meat in the jar. There is no air in the jar. You have created a vacuum in the jar by canning. I remember years ago when we first tried canning. We were scared to death we would blow up the house or go to all that work and have it either go bad or become inedible. Don’t be afraid, go for it, when you open that jar of canned beef, pork, deer, bear or whatever you will say “we have to make more of this next year”. Good Luck

Just canned 30 pints of liver and scraps from deer season for the wife's pet fox, one more load to do. Used to cook it down and freeze but took up to much room. I have a gauge on my canner but very seldom does it vent any steam. Mike

If you are pressure canning, which you must do for meat, salt does not make things safer. Its for taste. Your instruction manual and plenty of official websites confirm this. Under "Raw Packing" meat. The point of pressure canning at appropriate pounds and times is to thoroughly cook meat at 240 degrees. Nothing survives in the jar, and youve created a vacuum seal. Salt is fine to add. I add beef bullion to mine, which makes it pretty close to beef in flavor and gives me more flexibility for using however later.

I cubed about 100$ of beef and canned it with my new canner, i guess the best one has screw down lid, American canner? 5-700$ I have a Presto 23 quart Pressure canner.You can get them for $110.

One of my favorite uses for canned venison is as a sandwich spread. Drain off the liquid, shred the meat with a fork, then add mayo, pickle relish, and mustard. Mix it all up and you're good to go. We always called that a doe salad sandwich.
