You have to have a pressure cooker for canning meat.

I had one given to me but the trick will be getting a new seal & possibly a presure gauge, I haven't looked at it real close lately.

I HAVE !

What was it about the canned meat that you didn't like? The texture or the flavor?

Finally got to do something around the property today, everything that needs to be done I couldn't do this past week because of the surgery I had. Moved some dirt with a friends tractor(man I"ve got to get a frontend loader for mine). Still need to build a pen for the Orpingtons I bought almost 2 weeks ago, they are still at Okracefans house. He won"t give them back till he thinks i"m healed enough to build the pen. Need more pens to separate my Brahmas so I can get busy on breeding them properly.

For anyone heading to Blanchard this weekend, I was thinking what you guys thought about meeting at a resturaunt before the auction for dinner. There is one 3 mi. north of town that has plenty of seating, food is ok prices are fair. It used to be SW corner of I-40 and Choctaw rd.

BOTH ! Texture doesn't usually bother me but I didn't like any kind of meat that was canned and they canned just about every kind from ground beef to pig parts.
My grandma canned everything. Most of it was great. They had an outbuilding made of sandstone that my grandma quarried himself and then used the stones to build it.
Anyway its sole purpose was to store all of the canned goods. I loved gettting to go in there when I was kid and help pick out jars of canned goods for supper.
Everything from apples to to zucchini. The meats tasted funny to me and for some reason grossed me out.
They even canned fish. Double Yuck.
My favorites were the tomatoes and the saurkraut. I have never had saurkraut that good since.

NoCity - your signature line is funny - "Black and Blue Orpington(their individual colors, not bruised)"

I miss my GMA"s canned fresh corn. She drained it and cooked it with butter in a cast iron skillet, store bought corn is nowhere near the same.

Monty, I tried to pressure cook some venison ribs one time.

Both the texture and the flavor were disgusting.
Home canned tomatoes on the other hand - life doesn't get much better than that (unless of course you are eating those same tomatoes while standing in the garden on a cool morning, with the tomato in one hand and the salt shaker in the other hand

)
