mark if you are going to "unthaw" the meat wouldn't you just leave it in the freezer?

SK , Been there done that . Last spring I had some deer froze and I decided to bottle some up just to try it . It is beautiful stuff . I also done some bear in the bottles and that worked perfect to . I plan on doing a lot of jars of each this fall . I just done a few jars in the spring to see what it was like . It's deliceous stuff and it will keep a long time in the jars
Keep it simple and If it aint broke don't fix it

The way I do it is to cook the meat first in big pots. Then put the cooked meat into the jars and cover with broth and put jars in boiling water bath for 15 minutes or so to seal.

I soaked the meat in cold water and a little salt to get out the blood . Then I rinsed it off and packed it in the jars . added 1/2 tsp salt to each jar .Don't have to add any water to the jars . Put the lids on finger tip tight and Place in a large pot . Fill with water to the neck of the jars and boil for 3 hrs . This is a lot slower than the pressure canning ,but it does work when you don't have the pressure canner

I can’t find anything telling me to preheat the meat before I put it in the jars. Should I heat the meat or pack it cold? I looked it up in my "Ball Blue Book of Preserving", and it says to simmer meat in water to heat throughout. Pack hot meat into jars, leaving 1 inch headspace, cover with cooking liquid, again leaving 1 inch head space. Remove air bubbles. Adjust two-piece caps. Process pints 75 minutes and quarts 90 minutes at 10 lbs pressure. Our home economics county agent said she often would take meat out of the freezer and can it, so it shouldn't be a problem, in answer to your first question. Swifty
