Canning jerky meat??

[HighCountryHunter88]

So the butcher cut up part of my deer so I can make my own jerky. Is the meat they use to cut up for jerky suitable for canning?

Are you saying "is it OK to pressure can thin strips of venison?"

[billythekidrock]

You can pressure can any cut of meat and it will be "cut with a fork" tender.

But as Ice is asking, is it the cut of meat or is it actually jerky?

[HighCountryHunter88]

It hasn't been made into jerky yet it's just cut and froze

[Timberstalker]

You won't be able to make it into jerky after it's canned. That's what Ice and BTKR are saying.

Yes, you can pressure can it, raw meat, sliced...

The only drawback is that pressure canning will dramatically soften the meat. Think shredded pork type consistency, very softened.

Actually, this would make good shredded sandwhiches after pressure canning, or like in a fajita...etc...

My brother cans Deer all the time and I did some Elk a few years ago that ended up tasting like crock pot roast beef in a jar

Agree, very good. I even can up a lot of forearm meat with the silver through it. (I trim any sinew). The meat is absolutley tender and soft, awesome when done. Great for carneasada burritos, taco meat, fajitias, pulled venison sandwiches, etc....

Works with deer, elk, bear....
