Now i can my venison in the oven. Fill my jars, screw lids on tight. Place a cookie sheet with a clean dish towel on it on center rack. Place cold jars on clean dish towel on cookie sheet in a cold oven, and bake @ 250 for 4 hrs for pints. 5 hrs for quarts. When time is up, turn off oven, and leave jars in oven with door closed until oven cools. (i just leave mine in till the next day if i don't need to use the oven) You can do a lot more at one time, than with a cooker. I do 2 cookie sheets at a time, sometimes. Don't see why you couldn't can anything this way. I don't know if 4 hours is needed, I would think 30 minutes would do it. Quote \| Reply \| Report

Ok, I peeled and sliced while mom canned em lol. But something about low acid foods requiring a pressurize canning process to keep bad nasty bugs out spoiled my fun ;-) Dora/Garden Goddess Quote \| Reply \| Report

The meat would not cook and the jars would not seal. Quote \| Reply \| Report
