Venison Summer Sausage ( I shouldn't even post this)

I shouldn't post this because I lost my "after" picture of the sausage sliced and sittin' on a saltine. :)

I used my favorite venison summer sausage recipe..

For each 3 lbs of venison burger ( I mix my venison with pork fat) add...
1 cup water
1 tsp. mustard seed
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1 1/2 tsp. onion flakes
2 TBs. Tender Quick
If you do not use a smoker.... add 2TBs of liquid smoke ( don't tell my smoking friends I said that lol)

Either let this chill overnight or stuff into casings ....then chill overnight..








sm0ked with some hickory..
I brought it to an internal temperature of 160F.
If using an oven, bake at 300F degrees for 1 1/2 hrs.

It was late by the time I finished, but the sausage turned out great. You'll have to take my word for it. lol

Next time I'll be careful with my pics!

A Coupla Flakes

Not sure if I'm talking about the snow flakes or me and the dog... :)

A few snow flakes fell the other day... nice big ones!



The pup tried licking them off ....




and shaking them off....









then she gave up...




The flakes were coming straight down, which is rare around here....



They were just right for catching on my tongue. :)
