processing sausage

well after learning to process deer this season ive done 2 already not real difficult. getting chops roasts steaks catfish loins and burger. last buck was 41# ground 5 packs chops 6 steaks and 4 roasts. with a new sunmile elect grinder we can do roughly 2 # per min. weve ordered some breakfast sausage mix from the TSS sponser.i will post back when we have tasted it. a 1# bag turns 50# of meat into seasoned sausage for $8 boc price.

the newest thing i have just aquired is a recipe for summer sausage. :wub: not real tough and with my cooking experience i think i can doctor it up as good as locker sausage. got to get one more ingredient tomorrow. the cure salt. gonna do some jal cheese on the first run. takes two days.

anyone else make s/s?? this should be great if it turns out like the recipe shows. ill post results and pic's soon.

Jeremy, I have never made s/s but I know a guy up north that has all of his deer done that way. It was better than any store bought I have tasted...good luck!

Never made any s/s but we ground up to hogs into breakfast sausage last year & used the TSS sausage seasoning mix. It turned out to definately be the best sausage I have ever tasted.

We used bacon ends for the fat. 70/30 ratio if I remember correctly.

well here is this one. had a time finding morton cure salt but county market had it. no locker would come off it.

3# ground venison.
2 tsp mustard seed
1 " liquid smoke
1/4 " garlic powder
1/8 " ground pepper
1 cup cold water
3 tbls of cure salt. mix thourghly and seperate into 3 equal portions. roll into logs and wrap tight in alum foil (shiny side in) refridgerate 24 hrs to cure.

preheat oven to 325 and bake 1 1/2 hrs. poke tiny wholes in the foil on bottom of logs just prior to baking.

for a bit drier remove foil and bake additional 15 min.

im adding some jalapeno peppers and colby cheese too. and some TSS seasonings. pics will be coming.
