Venison Summer Sausage
|
 |
 |
 |
15 lb venison 10 lb pork trimmings (5 lb lean-5 lb fat) 7 oz (or 2/3 C) salt 1 oz commercial cure 1 oz (1/4 C) mustard seed 3 oz (1 C) pepper 3 oz (1/2 C) sugar 1/4 oz (3 T) marjoram
Mix salt and cure with coarsely ground venison and pork trimmings. Pack in shallow pan and place in cooler for 3 to 5 days. Then add rest of ingredients and mix well.
*Cure is optional. It is used to develop a pink color and as a preservative.
**Sausage is quite spicy. If you like less spice, cut down spices.
Smoking Summer Sausage
Stuff prepared sausage into casings and smoke at 140F for 1 hour; 160F for 1 hour; and 180F for 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 152ºF. (Insert a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the sausage.)
Remove from smokehouse and spray with hot water for 15-30 seconds. Follow with cold shower or place in ice water until internal temperature is reduced to 100F. Let dry for 1 to 2 hours. Place in cooler.
This one is from North Dakota State University, and while I haven't tried it yet, I intend to this fall.
