If you are into deer hunting, or know friends that are, canning is the best way to preserve the meat. I usually get a deer each year, and I have it in Mason jars as soon as it's butchered. I make sauce with the ground, stew with the stew chunks, and cube up all the steaks and can them in vegetable broth. The tenderloin or back straps you grill! It would be a crime to can these cuts! It feels so good to have your pantry fully stocked with this precious meat.

I do my deer same as you. You can spice it anyway you want.

I didn’t see it mentioned but I remove the rings to keep them from rusting.

Try browning pieces in flour first. No need to cook through, just toss in flour and brown off in fat of your choice and then can. It makes a delicious gravy once canned.

10-4 on the canned venison. I do exactly the same thing with the deer that we harvest.

Mrs. Augie roasted a big hunk of last season’s loin yesterday. It’s finger-lickin’ good.
