Canning 101

Seems like the wet but not hot year was good for everything in the garden except peppers. My wife is making some tomato sauce in the insta-pot and I'm in charge of the dilly beans.20240914_183104.jpg
 
Always nice to have help.
I finished canning green beans at the end of July, then let the plants go so I can collect seed in the fall. Tomatoes are still producing a canner full every couple of days.
 
Just finished up canning my last buck. Ended up with 56 pints. Only 1 failed to seal. And some strap steaks.

Huge thanks to my father/hunting mentor for helping out. Trimming and cubing a whole deer is tedious. Took a full day and then some.

Had run out and the wife specifically asked for a whole deer this way. Just makes for some easy weekday suppers when life is chaotic.

Nothing like canned venison. Quick, easy brown-up in a skillet, and the taste is unbeatable! Baked beans and some home fries w/onions ....... great meal. Nice pic of some good eatin'.
