First does anyone have any tried and true venison sausage recipes? I have all the deer meat ready to go. I will grind the pork when i get everything ready. Do i need to add a cure (nitrite)?
A friend of mine gave me some deer sausage a while back, I cut it with some pork and used a premade bratwurst mix I got from LEM. It was pretty good I must say. I also added some white pepper to liven it up a tad.
I use LEM products and have been very pleased. This was my first year making sausage. I made about 100lbs total. Between summer sausage, snack sticks, jal/cheese bratwurst, jal/cheese polish, and breakfast sausage. Have had no complaints on any of it.
What flavor type are you looking for? I have a very good Cajun type (not overly hot, but flavorful) and a real good Italian recipe. The Cajun one is good smoked or fresh. Ley me know.
