Here is the garlic hanging in my basement for the next couple of weeks to dry. After some sharing, about 80 heads remain.
Check out the size of the elephant garlic! I set a golf ball next to it for perspective.
If only it were legal in the 'burbs. My son hunts in Michigan and I make a lot of summer sausage from the venison. The ones that trudge through my property don't seem fazed when I hold up a summer sausage chub of their cousin!!!!
Since we moved to our current home a couple of years ago, the only thing the deer won't eat is garlic. So, here is this year's crop, 90 plants strong and looking healthy. Harvesting and drying should start in a few weeks. So far, so good!

I think I have 2 options:

I'd like to send meat sticks to my son in Denver from my home in Ohio. The meats are cured, smoked, fully cooked and vac sealed. Would they be safe to send as is or do I need to send them packaged w dry ice?
Thanks!
Hope all of you are safe, healthy, and enjoying lots of great homemade foods!!
Made 10 lbs of a 50/50 mix of venison and beef, seasoned with Owen's Garlic Summer Sausage spice blend (which rocks!!) The chubs got chopped jalapenos and high temp cheddar. All smoked w a hickory and cherry blend...

I'm currently curing several venison roasts using Pop's Brine and I plan to cook one of them in the Instant pot with the hope that it will come out like a ham. Any Instant Pot users who would have an idea of how long I should put the meat in the IP for?
Thank you!
Al,
I'm trying this dry brine and noticed that there is not a lot of moisture coming from the brisket, unlike a pork loin or belly bacon, for example. Does that seem right to you?
Thank you!
