I absolutely LOVE canned venison!! It's such a quick and easy meal! If I forget to lay meat out of the freezer for dinner, I just grab a jar of canned venison! Just throw in a skillet for a couple of minutes to warm it up, and you're good to go! Very tender and juicey every time!! I've been out now for 2-3 months and I can't wait until I have that shelf stocked again! I imagine it must have a shelf life, but I've had it from other people when it was 3 years old and it tasted as good as it would have on day 1! Sometimes we add a little salt and pepper to the jar, but other times I don't add anything and just sprinkle some on when I am warming it up. One friend says that he adds a clove or two of garlic to each jar for flavor.
One thing I tell people though, is that it tastes a whole lot better than it "looks" in the jars!!
