  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Okay... my mom cans venison every year and it's really yummy. You can make venison and gravy over potaoes, or rice or whatever, or you can just fry up the venison cubes and eat them like that. Anyway, I don't have the recipe, but I did find one that sounds exactly like what she does. :)

For those of you who have not canned fruits, vegetables, etc. I will go step by step. 1. Visually examine the canning jars (Mason jars are very popular) for nicks, cracks and sharp edges.
2. Wash jars, lids, and bands in hot, soapy water. Rinse. Place lids in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a simmer(180 degrees). REMOVE FROM HEAT. Leave lids in hot water until ready to use.
3. Place jars in a sauce pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. REMOVE FROM HEAT. Leave jars in hot water until ready to use.
4. Cut the venison into small cubes or chunks. Clean the meat thoroughly and then fill the clean, hot jars with the venison. Don't put juices or water in the jars. Leave about 1" head space between the top of the meat and the top of the jar.
5. Remove air bubbles with a non-metallic spatula.
6. Wipe top edge and threads of jar with a clean, damp cloth. Place lid on jar with sealing compound next to glass.
7. Screw band down evenly and firmly. DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE.
8. Use a steam pressure canner. Place as many jars of venison as possible into the canner. MAKE SURE JARS ARE SITTING ON TOP OF RACK PROVIDED WITH THE CANNER. This rack keeps the jars from getting too hot.
9. Follow the instructions for the pressure canner. The canner I have holds 7 quarts of meat and it takes 90 minutes at 11 psi. The time starts once 11 psi is obtained.
10. When processed, remove jars from canner. Carefully place jars on a towel or wooden surface out of drafts. DO NOT RE-TIGHTEN BANDS. Let jars cool 12-24 hours. The meat will bubble and boil for at least an hour after you remove them from the canner. Test for a seal. If center of lid is down, jar is sealed. Remove bands if you wish. Wipe jars clean.
11. Store the venison in a cool, dry, dark place. Bands may be reused. LIDS CANNOT BE
REUSED.


This process isn't nearly as hard as it sounds.
The outcome of the process will be a delicious tasting and tender meal of venison. I usually just pour the jar contents into a saucepan add onions and salt and serve with a baked potatoes. I'm sure many of you will dream up other great recipes with the canned venison.
It is great for camping, fishing and hunting trips because refrigeration is not needed.

And I don't have an actually recipe for this one either, so bear with me... :D

Venison chops and gravy

Venison steaks (we usually use the 'medallions')
oil
flour
cornstarch
milk
salt and pepper

Cook venison steaks in a skillet with oil (enough to coat the bottom of the pan) season with salt and pepper. Remove steaks when they are brown on both sides and set aside. Mix milk with about 2 teaspoons of cornstarch in a cup and slowly stir into the pan. (depending on the size of your cup you may need to do this twice :) ) Add steaks back to the pan and bring to a slow boil over medium heat. Stir constantly until gravy starts to thicken. Cover and let simmer for 10-15 mins. Serve with rice, potatoes, whatever.

I love deer meat! It's great if you live a part of the USA where deer is abundant and you're on a low budget. I remember my Mom used to make stew with deer meat sometimes. In fact, I think she made chili with ground up deer meat once. Deer meat is really quite delicious and is pretty healthy too. :yum: I've also heard that buffalo is good but I've never had a chance to try it yet.

So, i guess venison really means edible meat of a game animal. When you hear venison do you think deer like Bambi? I do. Up here we have plenty of venison but i've rarely heard caribou/reindeer called venison. I cooked a batch of caribou stew about a week ago. I guess there's venison stew, also, using deer but I've never heard deer stew. Is this Disney's fault? (hehe.)

Anyway, sorry, no recipes, i'm a chef who, unless baking, takes a recipe from a book or internet and I tweek and twist it to my specific tastes. It's been many years since I have followed a recipe the way it's written.

My favorite for caribou/reindeer is a stew. Add some veggies and potatoes, use some beef bouillon cubes, onion, a little cayenne and garlic, some salt & pepper, a bay leaf & some sage, don't eat it that first night you cook it, that's my belief, 'cause after it simmers for hours on end no harm can be done, the meat breaks apart and is infused into every spoonful of that stew... oooooooo, i'm drooling thinking about a hot steaming bowl!

Adios, happy eating, & God Bless :)
Chris

Venison usually refers to deer meat but can also refer to game meat. It's considered to be archaic when referring to game meat though:
