Canning Venison

[JustSmoke2]

Sitting at the local watering hole today I was asked about canning venison. which I replied I know nothing but I know a lot people do it. Well he has a little tip for me that he came across.
After putting the venison in the jar he adds a teaspoon of Lipton Instant Soup for flavor. Says it doesn't take much but he felt it improved the venison. So all you canners out there I hope this is something you may try if you haven't already.

Interesting. As in ALOT of other areas of cooking- chicken stock/bullion is an often used flavor enhancer and base for many recipes.

sounds like it would work just fine, maybe try some this fall pending harvest of a deer...

you 'can' venison (by which i presume you mean you cook it and put it in jars)
I have to ask - why ??

Okay I don't get a lot of venison but even so it freezes well, vacpacked it freezes incredibly well.

So why store it in jars - and what do you use jarred venison for anyway ?
thorougly Intrigued :-)

Stews and such, CA. It's pre-cooked and no danger of freezer burn. And prolly cheaper in the long run than Vacpack'd. Not to mention saved valuable freezer space.

I use beef bouillon. It does add a lot of flavor. I like to have the canned venison on hand for a quick meal. I think of it as the original fast food...just heat and eat. lol
I make a batch of homemade noodles and add the canned venison with broth.... it's a nice meal on a cold day. :)

The onion soup mix sounds good to me. I think I'll try that this year. Thanks for sharing.
