venison snack stick recipe?

i actually picked up a venison sausage cookbook today at half priced books, have not looked thru it but if I find one in there I'll post it....

no problem, I don't hunt but the book was cheap and has alot of recipes in it and hey....you can always sub's beef......


here is one, they don't actually have any "snack stick" recipes, but this is a pepperoni one that would probably work...

8 lbs venison cubed
2 lbs pork fat cubed
3 level tablespoons morton tender quick
3/4 cup powdered milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground thyme
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon crushed oregano leaves
1 teaspoon whole anise seeds
water
casings.......

grind meat fine, mix tenderquick and let "tack up", combine powdered milk with enough water to make a fine paste, add remaining ingreadients, mix into meat and regrind, then stuff into casings. cover and let sit in fridge overnight...hot smoke 2 to 4 hours until internal is 160.......

might work, might not......

I looked more thru that book today and found some snack stick recipes!!!!

2 lbs pork fat cubed
4 Tbs paprika
6 Tbs ground mustard

3 1/2 ounces kosher salt
4 level tsp prague 2 dissolved in 1 cup water
1 1/2 ounce dextrose

10 lbs ven cubed
2 level tsp prague 2 dissolved in 1/2 cup water
1/4 cup paprika

1 1/2 tsp red pepper
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp white pepper
1 tsp ground celery seed
1 Tbs mace
1 tsp powdered garlic
1 Tbs powdered onion
2 1/2 ounces salt
1/2 tsp ground marjoram
1 tsp ground ginger
1/4 cup molasses
6 ounces fermento

grind, mix spices, regrind (standard proceedure) stuff into sheep casings 18-20 mm. smoke 100 deg 8 hours, raise temp to 170 and maintain until 160 deg, cold water wash until 75 deg and into fridge to dry........

these are from "the venison sausage cookbook" by Harold Webster, Jr.

yea the second was titled as a sweet and spicey one, sounded good.....I don't have any fermento around here but honestly you could leave it out but some of the time on the holding temps is just for it to develop the tang....could always probably cut the time and use sausage tang in place........(ascorbic acid.....ummmm you know citric acid) but I wanted to make sure I passed on recipe as stated in the book....

Thanks smoked I was looking for something too the kits I was using are just too expensive.
