    Brine or No Brine

    I made a couple back straps a couple weeks ago.I marinaded them in italian dressing over night then seasoned them up a little with some cajun seasoning,wrapped them in bacon and smoked.They turned out really good.

    20 lb Venison Summer Sausage

    Yeah what archernut says.I have gotten it in one pound bags.They say to use 1 pound cheese to 10 pounds meat.I really enjoy the summer sausage this way.Like I said if you haven't made it like this you won't regret doing it.My favorite is the pepper jack.
