Categories     main-dish

Time P1DT4h

Yield 24 to 30 sausages

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup mustard seed
1/8 cup garlic powder
1 cup salt
1/8 cup black pepper
12 pounds pork, cubed
6 pounds venison, cubed
15 feet pork sausage casing

Steps:

  • In a large metal bowl, mix sugar, mustard seed, garlic, salt, and pepper with pork and venison. When ingredients are well mixed, grind the meat mixture in a meat grinder. Put the ground meat into a mechanical sausage stuffer. Be sure to push all of the air out of stuffer so there are no air pockets in the sausages. Fill pork casing with ground meat. When casing is filled entirely, find the center of the sausage and fold and pinch in 1/2 on a table. Pinch and twist into sausage links 2 at a time, pulling the "leg" of the sausage through the center each time a twist is made.
  • Hang sausage in a smoke house or put sausage in a smoker for approximately 8 to 12 hours.

VENISON SUMMER SAUSAGE



Venison Summer Sausage image

This is an excellent recipe for "what to do with all that deer meat" and is also good done with only ground beef, as many ranchers end up with alot of hamburger after the steaks are gone. The 1# of hamburger is necessary as venison, if ground lean, tends to be very dry. I can't keep this stuff in the house--my family loves it and it is very low fat snack. I got this from a former president of the ND Cattlewomen.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tbsp sunflower oil
16 venison sausages
2 medium onions , thinly sliced
3 celery sticks , trimmed and thinly sliced

75g butter
150ml tub double cream
2 tbsp wholegrain mustard

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the sausages in two batches over a medium heat for 15 mins, turning regularly, until nicely browned. Transfer the sausages to a large flameproof casserole dish.
