Great recipe but how long will this last in the fridge?
I have never made summer sausage before and this recipe was amazingly simple. My family loved the summer sausage and it has made my husband take up hunting in order to have a fresh supply of Venison for it. I was concerned about the whole mustard seeds but they worked out very well.
I used 5.5lbs of venison and 2.5 lbs of pork and adjusted the ingredients accordingly. That ratio should be higher perhaps 50/50 venison to pork in my opinion. Also I think it needs more pepper (and a coarser grind). Finally they do get better with age so don't be in a rush to consume these. Let 'em hang for a while.
This is a very easy to make recipe and is great tasting. My daughter said she likes it and she is very finicky but did say it was too spicy so I don't think she is going to even try it when I make this with about 3 tablespoons of crushed red pepper seeds to make some hot sausage. Thank you Gramps for sharing this wonderful recipe!
I made this summer sausage and added jalapenos and some sharp cheddar bits into the mix and wow...it was great....always loved summer sausage...just didn't know it was so easy to make.....one thing I will do in the future though is leave out the liquid smoke and smoke it in the smoaker for about an hour low temp....then finish it in the oven...I think it would only make it that much better
Sounds similar to what my Mom made. Cure can be made with twice as much salt as brown sugar. Giving a 5 until I try it.
I followed this recipe and have a question after adding all the ingredients and grinding I put the ground meat in the refrigerator. The next day I went to mix it again and the meat had turned brown over night in a stainless steel bowl. Is this normal?
So simple and so delicious. I added one ghost pepper to the recipe and it has a good flavor next time I'll add 2 for added spice heat
Didn't make any changes this go around but it came out great! Used 3lbs venison and 2lbs chuck. Very simple and tasty recipe. Will be making more of this for sure.
