All of mommbear's recipes got me wanting to contribute something. I've posted this on the B.C. hunting sites too.
I didn't get a bear last year, but a buddy just gave me half a bear he had frozen in quarters. We had to thaw out a whole quarter to do something with.
Well what do you do with one-quarter of a thawed out bear?
Can it.
After thawing, my wife cut it up into roast sized chunks, browned it and and roasted it in the oven until it was 1/2 done, then cut it up into one-pint portions, put it into jars and canned it.
She took the nicer stew meat and browned and half stewed that too and put it in jars and canned it too.
Now we have two dozen jars of canned bear meat to take camping and hunting.
It is real convenient, you get back to camp at dark exhausted and hungry, and instead of having to worry about taking the time to cook anything that takes a while, put on some rice or pasta, open the jar and heat it in a pan and there 's dinner!
