Looks Great 

I picked a bucket of pears and canned up 25 pints. I'm not a real fan of canned pears but my granddaughter is so most of them will go to her. It's that time of year where my jar supply is getting low and I'm scrounging through orphan boxes trying to find enough jars the same size to make a case. I'm not canning any fish or meat this year so I think all that I have left to do is grape jelly and I have plenty of jelly jars. Although those canned peppers look good and my Jalapeno bushes have at least one more picking in them.

Today I turned a bunch of grapes into a bunch of grape jelly.

I’m going to can my deer meat. Can you walk me thru the process that you’d suggest?

Ball canning recommendations . Hard copy or online. Been around forever. Its the gold standard for pressure canning low acid foods.

With the exception of shanks, I'm not really a fan of canned deer meat. When I can the shanks I prefer the hot pack method with the meat nicely seasoned and seared in a hot pan with a little olive oil. I've also added jalapeno, onion and whole garlic cloves to the jars with good results.

I can quite a bit using the ball cold pack method.
