- Place the venison into a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic; toss to combine. Place venison into preserving jar along with onion and pepper. Jar should be filled to within 1.25cm of the top. Wipe rim with a clean, damp cloth and seal with lid and ring.
- Place jar into a pressure cooker filled with water according to manufacturer's instructions for sealing jars. Affix lid and bring to the boil with the pressure valve open.
- Boil for 5 minutes before closing the pressure valve. Bring to a pressure of 10 psi, then reduce heat in order to maintain this pressure.
- Process for 75 minutes, watching gauge closely so the pressure stays at 10 psi. After 75 minutes, turn off heat and allow the pressure cooker to cool until the gauge reads 0 psi.
- Once the pressure has subsided and the cooker is safe to open, remove the jar to cool on a rack. The jar will seal with a pop as it cools; refrigerate the jar if it does not seal. Properly sealed jars may be stored in a cool, dark area.

This is great! I can everything but the back straps, and it tastes great from head to tail! And it does not matter if its an old buck or a little doe it always comes out delicious! - 13 Sep 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Very good, very easy, great way to use venison. I always do venison this way. When butchering, I save the back straps, loins, jerky roasts, and some for burger or brats. Then I can the rest. It last years and keeps the flavor. Extremely fast and easy to pull out, warm up in a pan, mix in some corn starch/water for gravy, then serve over mashed potatoes or noodles. You should try if you are canning capable. - 28 Feb 2011 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
In the past I have done something similar but only used kosher salt. The minced garlic and onion add to it. I love having the meat canned - it is super easy to make deer and noodles or stews/soups - 27 Dec 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
