Canning meat, poultry, and game

The flavor and texture of the final meat, poultry or game product depends on how the meat is handled following slaughter. If you slaughter your own meat, consult the National Center for Home Food Preservation website: https://nchfp.uga.edu Use only meat from healthy, disease-free animals. The meat should be chilled without delay to 40 degrees Fahrenheit, or lower, to prevent spoilage. To hold longer than a few days, freeze at zero degrees Fahrenheit, or lower, until canning time.
