Spaghetti Sauce with Meat and Mushrooms (pressure-canning large-batch recipe)
This homemade spaghetti sauce canning recipe is flavored with meat and mushrooms, for a traditional Italian ragu that is a perfect pantry staple. It’s a versatile foundation sauce that is great served on pasta or polenta, in lasagna, stuffed shells, ziti or other baked casseroles, and more. This meaty mushroom ragu is adapted from and and based on a tested USDA spaghetti sauce canning recipe. I’ve scaled this up to a double batch that fills my pressure canner [https://amzn.to/3XSHVIM] (18-19 pints, and sometimes a bit of leftover sauce to enjoy right away). You can of course make a smaller batch if you prefer… just halve all the quantities listed.

Venison Leberknödel Dumplings
This traditional recipe is a great way to enjoy an often overlooked but incredibly nutritious part of wild game. If you don't have access to venison liver, you can substitute beef, pork, or chicken livers in this recipe. After poaching, you can serve them as a side or main, or in a bowl with the poaching broth as a warming soup.
