One thing I do. I try to can the fresh meat. It seems the female pallet will pick up "off" flavor when the meat is frozen. Sometimes this "off" flavor can be picked up by my wife only weeks after being frozen. The canning process does not have the same response from women.......they love it, another benefit is it is ready to eat outta the jar......they will be more inclined to use it, it has truly revolutionized wild game consumption levels in my house. I use 90 minutes at 10 pounds. I have a variety of recipes I enjoy it. The jars are easy gifts and traveling without the freezing thawing component of meal management is welcome.
