OK So I want to pressure can some venison. Can I put in a couple cups of beef stock into the raw pack and then pressure can it. the recipe I have calls for nothing but a little salt?

Salt is just to preserve flavor longer it is not needed if you don't want it. As for the beef stock go for it but then i would definitively leave out the extra salt.

Stock, water. Doesn't matter all that much.  If you're cold packing the meat in the jars there won't be much room for liquids and it will make it's own juice when cooking in the canner.   Won't hurt if you want to use it though.

I used beef bullion and even though it tasted good, it held some of the "game" taste. I was told that should have used a tabelespoon of salt.

I will try that next.

14 qaurts of venison chilling on the counter. All sealed up nicely. It looks awesome. Can't wait to try it.

You might want to try a teaspoon of salt for a quart jar. A tablespoon is quite a bit.

Just a note. We ate two pint jars of canned venison this month that was canned in 2001. Was not kept in the best conditions, either. Taste was fine but not as good as the more recently canned jars.

We use beef bullion and some beef tallow (fat). You can usually get it free from the local butcher.

I just include 1/4 onion, a couple of carrot chunks, a few pepper corns, a 1/2 clove of garlic, and a pinch of salt. Process for 90min at 10psi. They are just like pot roast when I pop them open. Just heat and eat.

No juice if you're cold packing it.


That's what we do, it make's its own juice when it cooks down.  Tastes awesome!!!

I have been adding beef buillion to my cold pack just to make sure the jar looks better without have some meat sticking out of the juices.
