Canned Tuna and Venison

[CoryTDF]

Just made my first batches last night and so far I like it. Here is what I did

Tuna
1 pint jars packed with meat and then filled with chicken broth. Some of them I added a pepper to.

A few of them I only put in the meat and not the broth to see how those turned out and they look like they did well.

Venison
i pint jars packed with deer meat seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic and then put in quarter of an onion. I tired a jar today and it rocks!!!!!


Anybody have any other good ideas to try?

For the venison, try some taco seasoning or some Italian seasonings (basil, thyme, oregano and fennel seed).  You will have instant meat for Mexican and Italian dishes.  It is really tasty.

I canned a LOT of tuna this fall.  My favorite recipe was the simplest.

Per 1/2 pint jar, 1/4 tsp of pickling salt and 1/4 tsp of fresh ground black peppercorn.  Double it up for pints.  Pack it tight up to your mark.  The meat has tons of water and oil in it, so no need for additional broth unless you want the flavor.

I'm going to try this tonight with some of the other stuff i have to can.

I just did my first batch and added some EVOO and salt.  Just a tiny bit.  It is some tasty stuff!

This also works really good with salmon.  To make it even better, throw the salmon in the smoker for 45 minutes or so, take the skin off, chunk up, and can just like the tuna.  Never tried smoking the tuna.  Hmmmm

I just canned a bunch of venison and bear.  Damn good.  We tried it a few different ways:  Taco seasoning, salt, plain, some with onion and garlic in it.  All of it was pretty good. 

I plan on smoking some salmon and canning it in the next couple of weeks.


One bit of advice I got from BTKR:  after you open the jar let the jar sit for a little while for the juices to redistribute through the meet, otherwise it can be a little dry.

venison i coat in a south west dry rub then pack jars  turns out great.  salmon i will dry brine in brown sugar salt.  then smoke for one hour then pack jars.  i leave the skin on so the oils stay with the meat turns out great!

With Tuna I throw in a quarter Jalapeno and a cap of liquid smoke.

I can a  lot of tuna, use wide mouth 1/2 pints, pack the raw tuna tight, leave 1/2 inch space at the top, add no liquid just add a pinch of sea salt and a 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil, been canning for 40 years, can venison raw, wide mouth pints or quarts, pack raw meats preferably cubed, to with in 1/2 " from the top, add Au jus and chantrelles if you have um, make the Au Jus a bit on the salty side for best results.
