Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place veal bones in a roasting pan.
  3. 3 Roast bones in the preheated oven until well-browned, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
  4. 4 While the bones are roasting, drizzle oil onto a baking sheet. Add onions, carrots, and celery, then spread tomato paste over top. Mix until vegetables are well coated.
  5. 5 Roast vegetables on another rack in the oven until well-browned, about 45 minutes.
  6. 6 Transfer vegetables and bones to a large stockpot. Pour 10 quarts water into the stockpot and set over medium-high heat.
  7. 7 Meanwhile, pour 2 cups water into the roasting pan used for the bones. Set the pan on the stovetop over high heat; bring liquid to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
  8. 8 Pour liquid and browned bits into the stockpot.
  9. 9 Bring contents of the stockpot to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer gently, skimming foam as necessary, until meat and all connective tissues are completely off the bones, about 18 hours.
  10. 10 Set a colander over a bowl. Ladle vegetables, bones, and meat into the colander. Discard vegetables, bones, and meat; return any broth to the stockpot.
  11. 11 Bring broth to a boil. Boil until broth reduces to approximately 1 gallon in volume, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  12. 12 Strain broth through a fine-mesh strainer into a large container set in an ice bath; chill to room temperature, 30 to 45 minutes.
  13. 13 Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap, then chill in the refrigerator until demi-glace is cold and set, 8 hours to overnight.
  14. 14 Scrape and discard any fat from the surface.
  15. 15 Turn demi-glace out onto a work surface. Cut into 16 blocks. Wrap each block in plastic wrap and store in a resealable plastic bag in the freezer.
  16. 16 Enjoy!

Instructions

  1. 1 Inspect a pint-sized jar for cracks. Immerse in simmering water for 5 minutes. Wash a new, unused lid and ring in warm soapy water.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, toss venison, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined.
  3. 3 Place venison into the sterilized jar along with onion and bell pepper. Wipe the rim with a clean, damp cloth, and seal with lid and ring.
  4. 4 Place the jar into a pressure canner filled with water according to manufacturer's instructions. Cover and bring to a boil with the pressure valve open. Boil for 5 minutes before closing the pressure valve. Bring to a pressure of 10 psi, then reduce the heat in order to maintain this pressure. Process for 75 minutes, watching the gauge closely so the pressure stays at 10 psi. After 75 minutes, turn off the heat and allow the canner to cool until the gauge reads 0 psi.
  5. 5 Once the pressure has subsided and the canner is safe to open, remove the jar and set on a rack to cool. The jar will seal with a pop as it cools; refrigerate the jar if it does not seal. Properly sealed jars may be stored in a cool, dark area.
