Lean meats or meats that the fat has been trimmed from them are best for canning. Handle the food quick, so that it doesn't get contaminated. You must use a pressure canner as the heating process prevents contamination. Pints should be cooked for at least 75 min. and quarts at least 90.Leave 11/4 space in jar with meat and broth.

When canning meat use a weighted-gauge pressure canner. Trim all the fat off and trim into strips. Do not leave fat on meat because this can cause it to taste gamey. Cook the meat and then cold pack it. Place uncooked pieces into canning jars and then cover with broth.

When you want to can meat, you need a pressure cooker, quart jars, and uncooked meat (usually beef). Small pieces of meat are packed into jars and processed for one hour in the pressure cooker. Do not add any liquid as the meat makes its own liquid during processing.
