How to Can Meat

If you are not happy with the quality of the meat you purchase in the grocery store, you should consider canning your own meat. Meat canned at home not only maintains its texture and nutrients, but it is also very appealing to use in your favorite recipes.

How to Can Meat




  1. Prepare the meat for canning by cutting it into strips. The meat can also be cut into cubes if you are planning on using it in soups. The meat should be cut across the grain.


  2. Trim all the fat and gristle from the meat. The fat can cause the meat to taste gamey or prevent the jar from sealing properly.


  3. Cook the meat by pan cooking or roasting before you can it.


  4. If you prefer to can the meat raw, placed the uncooked meat in the canning jars and cover it with water or broth.


  5. Secure the lids on the jars.
