    Hominy

    I grew Hickory King White last year as I have been trying to divest myself from Grocery store foods as much as I can. Also part of my prepping practice and just whole foods. What can I grow that supplements a lot of my diet. Tried Yellow dent Heritage corn and did not get good production and...

    Storing Cabbage experiment

    This failed. Might have still been edible, but wasn't trying it. Opened after Christmas and the bags contents shrank, lost liquid and tanned and starting to look like sauerkraut. Did not smell off, but no salt involved like sauerkraut so to the chickens it went and they liked it. On another...

    No Cook Venison

    I've put squirrels in the fridge but I typically gut and skin them first. :emoji_wink: FYI, squirrels typically are flea bags so I hope he didn't put it in the warm. Watch squirrels and not how often they scratch in the summer.

    Asking For Suggestions!

    This is how I make Braunschweiger or liver wurst. I have tried smoking and then poaching to finish and I don't think it really made a difference on the fiberous casings. At the bottom I switched the recipe to all meat and used the heart elsewhere. My In Laws love this stuff. I eat it like hors...

    Venison summer sausage

    I use 50/50 vension/pork butt and it makes a great consistency. I also use NFDM This is my Lebanon bologna and you can copy that and change spices, sugars and add cheese and jalapeno from another recipe, https://archeryrob1.wordpress.com/2025/01/04/lebanon-bologna-venison-with-pork-addition/

    Sandwich meats

    I was thinking 4" as I like small loaf sandwiches. Also my daughter is making sandwich rolls from whole grains and about hamburger roll size, so that will probably be my go too. She's the baker and I'm the butcher. :emoji_wink: Looks like 4.6" is more available, but thinking 4" if I can.

    deer neck

    I have never had great succes with neck meat and think its tough. It cans well but juice gets thick like it does in span from tendons melting. Probably best and most tender. I have marinated in ACV to tenderize a day and into a tied roast and good the first day and tough the second. Just made...

    Planning ahead - Upgrade to Sausage Making Equipment

    I went with LEM as the #12 and 25# mixer. Grinder acts as a motor too. The #12, IMO, is more than most home use people need. I have ground 1/2 a pig and multiple deer with mine. I can cut the neck into 1" square strips 12" to 15" long and just drop them in the throat and off it goes. #22 would...

    Crackers

    Anyone making crackers? I harvested 50# of rye seed. Research i read how it is needing mixed with wheat to not be so dense for bread. Maybe I'll like that?? I was thinking if it makes dense bread. Maybe i should make crackers for eating Braunschweiger on?
