New batch of Summer Sausage is cooking

[GrapeApe]

25# batch of summer sausage, (approx 19# ground venison, 5# beef fat) seasoned with Waltons "H Summer Sausage Seasoning"

"Smooth Salt" as a cure accelerator, so it won't have as much "twang" as it would have if I'd used encapsulated citric acid.

and 2.5# of hot pepper high temp cheese

I didn't take any pics of the rest of the process because: 1) Had meat, fat etc on my hands for most of the time. and 2) You know what they say about it being best not to watch them making bologna
Next pics will be after they come out of the smoker sometime in the wee hours of the morning

Me back to my Midwest deer hunting days, always had some summer sausage made up.

Oh that sounds good! Too early for my Christmas order

[GrapeApe]

hopefully it will be, considering I'm probably going to be up most of the night waiting for them to get 25° hotter

Nice. I love summer sausage. One of the favorite treats now is to cut a bunch of summer sausage and toss them on a flat-top, griddle or cast iron to heat up and fry a bit. Makes a really good appetizer as you are getting the grill ready.

They curl up into little cups you can fill with cheese or whatever.
