Survival Chores: Canning Venison And Harvesting Carrots

Average day, always things to do. Hubby got a nice ten point buck so was out late cutting it up and packing it out. Around here you don't drag the deer, you cut it up because of the terrain. So as he finished processing it I went into canning mode this morning. In the video I forgot to mention the pressure you need to can the meat..my canner calls for 10lbs..BUT check your own canner. I do pint jars at 75 minutes and quarts at 90 min....anyway...While the oven was on also roasted some of the tomatoes I still have from the garden and finally..ohh ohh a little late, despite the frosty temps got into the carrot garden to pull and store the wonderful carrots we got this year. A bit nippy today but a awesome day to get things done!

Great job baby! My wife did some canning and took a few photos along the way. The Hokkaido squash was excellent.

Canning Kosher Dill Pickles

These pickles are in rounds, but you can cut the cucumbers in spears also. I do these in rounds, so they go on hamburgers easily.

You will need:

4 pounds pickling cucumbers

4 1/2 cups water

4 cups white distilled vinegar

6 T. canning salt

Fresh Garlic and Dill

Sterilized pint jars, lids and rings

Water Bath for canning
