    canning venison

    Could I put a whole chunk of venison, like for a roast that will fit in a wide mouth jar, instead of cubes or slices ? Then slice it up later after it is canned.

    Szynka, I think you are right. My ancestors did come from Boronow/Katowice/Lubliniec in the province of Silesia. Thanks very much for the info.

    Polish meat

    Sorry I can't remember, I was just a little kid at the time. I don't think it was, we ate mostly fresh sausage.

    Polish meat

    My parents are Polish and I remember them calling a sausage that is pronounced like Vushta, I do not know the Polish or English spelling , but that is what it sounded like. Does anyone have any info on this meat ? I would like to find out more about it and maybe make some !

    peppreoni

    Knotfree, That sounds like the right spices. I'll give it a try next time, it may be awhile though, before I get a chance to do some more.

    peppreoni

    Made a 5# batch of Venison/beef/pork pepperoni with LEM Backwoods seasonings, turned out very good, everybody liked it. To me it could have more of the pepperoni taste. What seasonings could I add to give it more of that pepperoni taste ?

    Too Salty

    I wet cured my venison ham for 5 days,  then slow smoked for 5hrs untill IT hit 160,  Still nice and moist good taste, but too salty. What did I do wrong to make it too salty ? Did I brine it too long ? Would 3 days have been long enough ? How can I now remove some of the salt out of the Ham ?

    Venison ham? Sort of...

    I'm planning on doing a small 2-3lb venison  ham. I have some instacure #1, it says to use 5tbs. for 5lbs of meat, this is like for sausage and such. Would that be the same in a brine for soaking and injecting ? That is my main concern on how much instacure to use.

The instruction booklet does not mention anything about lubricating the gears (steel) or the auger at the spline connection and where it fits into the cutting plate. Should this...

    Pastrami (with Q-View)

    I was going to smoke a regular beef brisket. The wife came home with a corned beef brisket, I did not know anything about making pastrami, but after seeing these done it looks easy enough to give it a try. Is this all that there really is to it and that is all that is needed for spices for the...

    Is it OK to use soap (Tide) on the grates, or is it better to use something more natural even though it may not get them spotless. How clean is clean enough ?
