I have been using on myself for several seasons in...

    Venison Dried Beef Summer sausage

    Waiting for spring when I can open my smoker to try this. Usually I make summer sausage with the standard recipes but I thought I'd try one the same TenderQuick, brown sugar blend that I usually do with my venison hams. Still plan on using the same venison, pork mix. Thinking it might come out...

    TenderQuick soaking question

    Good morning everyone! After dry brining with TenderQuick is it a must to soak the meat or is it only to taste? I've done deer hams,Canadian bacon,corned deer,etc. and never soaked.

    Why no cure#1 ?

    After much searching I don't find any fish brines using a cure ''Prague powder'#1,etc." How come it isn't necessary for fish but it is for meat?

    Brine shelf life?

    How long can I keep an unused container of brine with cure#1 in the fridge before it is no longer safe for use? I figure the salts and cure would last indefinitely, but I'm not so sure of the sugars?
