Does anyone know how to make summer sausage? I see lots of recipies when i google it, but nothing looks like they would turn out into the nice perfectly wrapped jalepeno and cheese rolls that my deer processor does. I'd like to do some myself.
Hey bro check this site out. I joined it last May and they have been an amazing resource. Very friendly, very willing to share tips and recipes.

www.smokingmeatforums.com

There is a section for deer meat and wild meat. Tons of guys post in there. My user is T-Roy at that forum. But I think it would be cool if we could eventually get the Chuckwagon out of the dungeon (WAAAAYYY at the bottom). I think people can really benefit and get into it. Preparing and processing your own food is satisfying and can save you a ton of money.

Sausage is real big at the forum too. I haven't tried it yet...but like you I'm dying to give a whirl!

That is awesome! I aint even gonna say what my grinder looks like (dude my arm gets tired)..... but i want to pop one more nanny this year and get some tenderized steaks made up, but would love to get the guys at the camp to chip in and get a good machine to keep down there. I'm going to check that site out some more and see what all they got cookin.

Heres one I use..

15 lbs. venison

10 lbs. ground pork

2 1/3 cup buttermilk

1 cup Morton Tender Quick

1/4 cup whole mustard seed

1/4 cup coarse ground black pepper

1/4 cup sugar

3 tablespoons garlic powder

1 tablespoon marjoram

Combine the ground venison and pork. Mix all the spices and Tender Quick into the buttermilk... It won't completely dissolve.. Add this slurry to the ground meat, mixing well...

Stuff into fibrous casings and refrigerate for 24 hours..Once the cure has set, place in smoker or smoke house.. Have smoker around 100* for about a hour to dry the casings.. Kick up the smoker to 130* for around 3-4 hours adding wood for smoke.. After that push it up to 180* till the internal temp hits 152*. Pull and drop in ice bath until the internal temp hits 100*. Hang at room temp for 3-4 hours to bloom...

Vacuum seal them and freeze..

Enjoy..

I have got to do this, my only problem is my charcoal smoker aint exactly great for controlling temps. but this recipie looks more like the real deal compared to most of the ones i see on the net where you basically are making meatloaf in the oven in rolls and putting it in the fridge. I'm going to shoot one more deer before the 31st, maybe i can figure out something to try like this. Thanks guys!!
