GROUND MEAT
Bear, Beef, Pork, Lamb, Veal, and Venison
With venison add one part high quality pork fat to three or four parts venison before grinding. Use freshly made sausage, seasoned with
salt and cayenne pepper (sage may cause a bitter off-flavor). Add 1 teaspoon salt to each pound of ground meat if desired. Mix well.
Shape meat into patties or balls or cut cased sausage into 3-to 4-inch links. Cook until lightly browned. Ground meat may be sautéed
without shaping. Remove excess fat. Fill jars with pieces, leaving 1-inch headspace. Cover meat with boiling broth or water, leaving
1-inch headspace. Adjust jar lids.
Process at 11 pounds pressure – Pints 75 minutes and Quarts 90 minutes. For processing above 2,000 feet altitude, see page 15 for rec-
ommended pounds of pressure.
PRessuRe CanninG PoulTRY
Pressure canning is the only safe method for canning poultry.
Cut poultry into convenient pieces for packing and precook until medium done or until pieces, when cut, show almost no pink color at
the bone.
Precook by boiling in water or in a concentrated broth for more flavor. Make broth from bones and bony pieces, neck, back, and wing
tips. Pack hot meat in clean, hot Mason jars, leaving 1-inch headspace. Do not pack food tightly.
Poultry may be processed with or without salt. If salt is desired, use only canning salt. Table salt contains a filler which may cause cloudi-
ness in bottom of jar. Use ½ teaspoon salt to each pint, 1 teaspoon to each quart.
Follow step-by-step directions beginning on page 6 for canning procedure. Process poultry according to the following recipes.
