Bottling

So we had to take care of the meat from our two deer. We choose to bottle quite a bit of it. Bottled deer meat sounds kinda gross, I realize that, but it really is divine.

Jared and I spent 3 nights in the kitchen processing the meat. We did make quite a few packages of steaks and also saved some for jerky, but the rest went into bottles.

We did the bottling in one day! We borrowed Aunt Nan's double decker pressure cooker, which helped so much!!

We ended up with 68 pints and 7 quarts. That is A LOT of meat!!!
