'll be keeping an eye on this. I froze all meat up until now. Now I want to do a lot of canning too. But I love to learn as many ways as posssible.

I have done canned meat (chicken, beef) and it's GREAT. The next time we butcher, I'll spend a few days in the kitchen canning beacuse it's absolutely wonderful to have on hand.

 

I can post later the basics for canning chicken and beef....very yummy (and pretty easy too!).

can it! that is probably the easiest way. Smoking or salting requires a bit more then getting out the canner and jars, put meat in jars and can.

 

Drying is another way.. jerkey can last for years.. not that I want to try to chew it after years!
