I know it should be done low and slow but what about canning it. Would the high heat of the pressure canner toughen it?? Should it be baked for awhile first? Thanks, Jan

I've never canned brisket, but I've found that pressure canned meats come out similar to ones cooked in a slow cooker. So my guess is that it would be very tender.

I have a piece of brisket defrosting right now, which I intend to put into a corning solution tomorrow, for St Patrick's Day. The piece is bigger than I need, and more than my crock will hold, so part of it will go in the slow cooker for a stew of some sort. Not enough to can, but, as free points out, the heat and length of the canner should bring about similar results to the slow cooker.
