    I have canned lots of salmon.......never meat though. My old man keeps bugging me about bottling him some meat but....maybe this will be the year.

    yes i canned up some moose, just love it.

    cube up some moose, and chunk or two of onion, little olive oil, seasoning salt and a little garlic.

    couple drops of hot sauce and it's the best!

    we cut our prime steaks and roasts first then the little tougher pcs get canned or pepperonied

    Re: Canning Game meat

    Our family has canned for years....just three notes of caution:
    1. Follow the recipe
    2. Get yourself a good thermometer.
    2. Watch your temperatures and times like your life depended on it.

    Underprocessing (time or temperature) can kill you.....honest...

    Otherwise have fun, the canned meat or stew is great to warm up in camp on a frosty day....enjoy

    Add a little liquid smoke to your jar and it tastes real good.

    How many of you use a pressure canner to process your foods?

    Re: Canning Game meat

    I would recommend a pressure canner for all meats and vegetables otherwise the processing time is verrrrry long for these foods and can sometimes make the meat mushy or overcooked.

    Fruits can be be done in a boiling water bath.

    One other tip to help the cooking process is I have one of those heavy duty propane burners (like the ones used for deep frying turkeys) and it brings the water temperature up within a few minutes instead of 40-60 minutes on the stove.....

    Well all I have is a normal canning pot. I've got 8 half quarts sitting in the pot right now waiting for the water to boil.

    my memory is bad but i think it's supposed to be 8 hrs.you can probably find it online .usually taste pretty good .
    we don't can it my wife cooks up stuff or i do and she puts it in a large freezer bag enough for 2 to 3 people we freeze it so that it is flat we fill a cooler with them and its usually good for at least a weak safer than the canned and not overcooked .
    mind you i still enjoy the canned stuff
