Just got that big ka-hoona canner today. I wanted a reason to get it due to size and quality  :chuckle:
My old one, which is from the 70s, was going belly up. It only held 7 quarts maximum and that takes a long time when you can with small batches.
Beans may be the first to get canned this year. Then it's on to venison  :IBCOOL:
Good thread  :tup:

I canned so much last year it seems we are hardly making a dent in the supply. Really looking forward to canning again soon. Everyones favorite of mine is my elderberry jelly. I have folks from Montana begging for more of it. I need to put up gallons of it this fall. Hope this drought hasn't put the hurt on my berry supply.... :)

Thanks for this thread. I started canning last summer (Tuna) but hadn't done any other meat products. I thought I'd practice before I wasted a deer, elk or bear, so I picked up a couple packages of pork shoulder yesterday.
Anyhow after trimming the fat away, I ended up with 23 pints of cubed pork shoulder. I experimented and labeled all jars, and kept notes for future reference of things I like and don't like.
I used 1/2 tsp salt with all the jars, but my other additives were:
1. Salt only
2. one clove garlic
3. clove garlic, 1/4 tsp liq smoke
4. 1/4 tsp liq smoke
5. 1 tsp taco seasoning
6. 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
My house is right around 2200ft. So I processed @ 15 lbs for 75 min.

Haven't tried any yet, was going to let them set for a few days before "testing" the flavors.

I want to give this thread a bump since we are in the midst of hunting season. Getting ready to can up this year's buck in the morning. Can't wait.  :drool:

I agree Grundy53.
I put the big canner to the test with tuna and I love that canner! Did 54 pints in 2 batches. That is the first time I've ever had every can seal and no jars break. Did some green beans too and every jar was a success.  :IBCOOL:
I decided to make burger out of my buck this year instead of canning it.
So glad I bought that canner!

I did 30 quarts of elk which turned out fantastic.  I do not add garlic or liquid smoke like above recipe.  I will do 30 quarts a year from now on.   Shepard's pie and stew/soup are the meals to create with the canned elk meat.

Looks good! Do you mind sharing the recipe or process for the stew?

Nothing fancy. I just followed this recipe except I replaced beef with deer meat.
