Best Peggis Canned Deer Meat Recipes

PEGGI'S VENISON JERKY

Steps:

• 1. FREEZE MEAT WHILE STILL IN THE ROAST STAGE (RAW). THEN REMOVE FROM FREEZER & LET SLIGHTLY THAW. SLICE ON SLICER OR BY HAND TO 1/8"TO 3/16" THICK AGAINST THE GRAIN. IF YOU SLICE WITH THE GRAIN, IT WILL BE TOUGH & STRINGY.
• 2. MIX ALL OF MARINADE TOGETHER & PUT MEAT IN. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES, I LOVE TO TASTE THE MEAT. IT IS CURED BY THEN. IT IS HEAVEN. DO NOT PACK MEAT TIGHT. I DO THIS PART ABOUT 7 PM & LEAVE OUT ON COUNTER FOR ABOUT THE NEXT 3 HOURS & WALK IN & STIR WITH WOODEN SPOON EVERY 30 MINUTES OR SO, TO MAKE SURE IT IS EVENLY DISTRIBUTED. MARINADE IN FRIDGE OVERNIGHT. DO NOT PACK TOO TIGHTLY.
• 3. NEXT MORNING,EARLY, WASH SINK OUT THOROUGHLY. PLACE SOME SORT OF DRAINER IN BOTTOM OF SINK. I USE A ROUND PIE COOLING RACK. POUR JERKY & MARINADE OUT IN SINK. NOW GO HAVE YOUR COFFEE WHILE YOU ARE WAITING ON JERKY TO DRAIN. PLACE ON DEHYDRATOR TRAYS & PLACE IN DEHYDRATOR.
• 4. I HAVE A BIG SQUARE DEHYDRATOR WITH 10 TRAYS & FAN. WHEN ALL TRYS ARE IN, LEAVE DOOR AJAR ABOUT 3 INCHES FOR PROBABLY 3 HOURS UNTIL MOST MOISTURE LEAVES. THEN CLOSE DOOR & CONTINUE DEHYDRATING. IF YOU DON'T DO THIS, IT WILL STAY WET ALOT LONGER. IT TAKES ABOUT 6 FULL HOURS . MEAT IS DONE WHEN IT IS DRY TO THE TOUCH & YOU BEND IT & IT DOESN'T FEEL RUBBERY, BUT DON'T OVER DRY, TO WHERE IT STARTS TURNING WHITE (SALT CONTENT). I THROW IT ALL IN A BIG STAINLESS STEEL BOWL & LEAVE OVERNIGHT TO FINISH AIR DRYING. THEN THE NEXT DAY, I VACUUM PACK IT IN 1/2# BAGS.
• 5. I MIX 7 BATCHES OF THIS UP IN ONE BIG CONTAINER & ADD 14# MEAT. DO NOT PACK TIGHT.

PEGGI'S DEER BURGER SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• Brown the burger in a large skillet. If using hamburger, drain off fat. Return to heat.
• If using squash, cut into small bite size pieces & add to skillet. If using carrots, cut into small chunks & add to skillet. *I use what ever I have on hand for this but not all of them at the same time, as it would overpower the sauce.
• Add the spaghetti sauce, garlic salt & Italian seasoning.
• Mix well. With heat on low, cook another 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• I serve on a bed of cooked noodles, with homemade rye bread toasted with garlic. https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/rye-bread-by-peggi-anne-tebben-cookiequeen

EASY CANNED VENISON

Steps:

• Place the venison into a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic; toss to combine. Place venison into canning jar along with onion and bell pepper. Jars should be filled to within 1/2 inch of the top. Wipe rim with a clean, damp cloth, and seal with lid and ring.
• Place jar into a pressure canner filled with water according to manufacturer's directions. Affix lid and bring to a boil with the pressure valve open. Boil for 5 minutes before closing the pressure valve. Bring to a pressure of 10 psi, then reduce heat in order to maintain this pressure. Process for 75 minutes, watching gauge closely so the pressure stays at 10 psi. After 75 minutes, turn off heat and allow the canner to cool until the gauge reads 0 psi.
• Once the pressure has subsided and the canner is safe to open, remove the jar to cool on a rack. The jar will seal with a pop as it cools; refrigerate the jar if it does not seal. Properly sealed jars may be stored in a cool, dark area.
