Home Canning Venison...

For those of you that are new to the word "Venison" it is another name for deer meat. Our family eats a lot of venison and we find that canning it is a wonderful way to preserve it for later use. It is very tender and flavorful.

This is one of our venison canning recipes that we think you will enjoy. Please keep in mind that this recipe can be used for a lot of different types of meats, which include Beef, Lamb, Mutton, Veal and Pork.
