Trial batch venison summer sausage

[hammer4reel]

Tracey found a new summer sausage recipe we’re trying today .

kept it to a five pound batch to see how it turns out .

She cooked the little bit remaining in the stuffer tube as  a sampler .

All I can say is IF the finished smoked  product comes out as good . Next batch will be 20#.

Nice!  Let's see how it turns out.  I tried a few years ago and it was a big failure lol

When they went on 

and almost done 5 more degrees

Set out to bloom .

first time we did this type stuff they don’t want you to ice bath them to stop cooking process .

Just air cool at room temp 

 

first time using clear cases instead of mahogany, think I like being able to see the end results better in them

I make these using Lem seasoning and their high temp jalapeno cheese. One of my favs

Take s look at PS Seasonings. They have a real wide array of mixes for summer sausage, kielbasa, brats, etc. Everyone I have tried is excellent

Looks Great , I recently switched things up and made a small batch of Trail Bologna  from LEM along with Jalapeño Cheddar summer sausage  , most like Trail Bologna over Jalapeño. I guess that will be my new go to .

We make a few different ones . This one we made with ingredients we always have on hand .

i liked being able to use our own seasonings instead of a packet .

 

when we make jalapeño cheddar we use a regular trail bologna mix , and add fresh cut jalapeño and high temp cheeese .

i didn’t like the powdered jalapeño mix as much as fresh .

What's your venison to pork ratio? I keep changing mine up. Last batch I did 60% ven and 40% pork.
