What preservation can be made on pork, lamb, veal, & beef?

Answer 1

Selecting, Preparing and Canning Meat
Ground or Chopped Meat
Bear, Beef, Lamb, Pork, Sausage, Veal, Venison

Procedure: Choose fresh, chilled meat. With venison, add one part high-quality pork fat to three or four parts venison before grinding. Use freshly made sausage, seasoned with salt and cayenne pepper (sage may cause a bitter off-flavor). Shape chopped meat into patties or balls or cut cased sausage into 3- to 4-inch links. Cook until lightly browned. Ground meat may be sauteed without shaping. Remove excess fat. Fill jars with pieces. Add boiling meat broth, tomato juice, or water, leaving 1-inch headspace. Add 2 teaspoons of salt per quart to the jars, if desired.

Adjust lids and process following the recommendations in Table 1 and Table 2 according to the canning method used.
