I don't have a smoker in Florida so this was a test in the oven. I tried to warm it slowly by manually cycling the oven. Control only goes down to 170° but ambient...
I made up my second ever summer sausage today. This one was all beef and I'll be posting a thread after I finish the cook. My first attempt was 3/4 pork and tasted great, but was not the prettiest to be posting here due to processing errors.
In prepping the 2-1/2" mahogany fibrous casing (from...
New to the forum, I sure appreciate all of the information here. I have smoked fish and Jerky for years, but wanted to branch out into Summer Sausage and snack sticks. My first small batch of summer sausage turned out great. My second batch got too hot in the smoker and fatted out. I learned the...
I saved the clean trim from the beef knuckle I posted the other day , and also cut up a side section . Same day I ground a brisket and a pork butt . Used 1 pound of the pork and added it to 3 lbs. of beef I had . So Sirloin , brisket and pork butt .
I used an AC Leggs summer sausage kit I had ...
This will be a knock off from @DougE and his version of Taylor Ham, with assistance from @SmokinEdge
I can't, until next week, get my grinder out and carry it so I had to be a little different. I cut up the bacon into little chunks.
They are probably bigger then they should be, I just got...
Cervelat is about any mildly seasoned, cured, smoked, semi-dry sausage that includes most "Summer sausage" formulations. I wanted to take it to a new level so I went a tick spicier on pepper, added hi-temp cheese and some jalapeno peppers. My goal with this batch was to enjoy it chilled with...
My neighbor is planning on making Summer Sausage with some of last years elk and venison. I know too well about the trustworthiness of some online sites, but we're seeing an odd trend repeat itself when it comes to amounts of Tender Quick (he prefers TQ to Cure #1). Many recipes call for 1...
It has been a couple years since I made this specialty but I got a nice deer this past week and thought I would make it again. What we are doing is 20 pounds of venison & pork 60%ven 40%pork. To this grind several times reducing the plate size on the grinder until I get to 1/8" plate. By then...
Help please! We made our first batch of jalapeño cheddar summer sausage. We use high temp cheese, used pork fat, and had a good fill in all of our casings. When we initially smoked, the temp didn’t get as high as we wanted, it was only about 140. We upped the temp to 200 (that’s the temp we used...
Ok I give up. Even Google can't tell me what "fatting out" means. I need to know so I can worry about it appropriately. I'm a newby and smoking my first 15lbs of summer sausage today. Using an Analog smoker and having a heck of a time trying to keep the temp at the recommended temps. Looks...
Hello! I'm fairly new to sausage making and making a 25# batch of Venison Summer Sausage. While making,
I mixed the spices in cure into 1/2 the batch, then loaded into the stuffer, stuffed in casings and returned to fridge
I then took the 2nd half of the batch of the fridge to repeat the same...
So I made my first ever batch of summer sausage with a proven good recipe from a friend of mine. The only thing I changed was instead of using liquid smoke I decided to smoke it myself.
Minus a 15 min window where the temps jumped to 250 degrees, the smoking went well. Kept it between 190-210...
OFM Disco got me on this. I am making some antelope summer sausage using some of Disco's simple basic recipe however this one will be Apple Bleu Cheese Summer Sausage. Full pictures and step by steps to be posted as it happens, Stay Tuned. Hope to have this 100% finished Sunday or Monday. Thank...
On Friday, I mixed and stuffed 50 lbs of venison summer sausage with jalapeños, cheddar, and habanero cheese. Also did a 25 lbs plain batch for my wife and kids since they don’t like spice. I get my seasoning from a local butcher shop and for the spicy batch, I add minced garlic, cayenne...
Time for some summer sausage. Maybe it would be more appropriately called Winter or Spring sausage given the time of the year. I haven't made this in a few years so with my venison party coming up in about a month I thought I would make a ten pound batch.
Here is the mix with added high temp...
I was out of Summer Sausage and was making a batch. I decided to do a video on the smoke.
I started with 500 grams (1.1 pound) of lean ground beef (you can use any game you like) and 500 grams (1.1 pound) of cubed pork shoulder. I put them in the freezer for about 1 1/2 hours to freeze the...
Hello all, browsing and searching through the forum here (I'm a newbie, though experienced professionally) I noticed that many of the Summer Sausage recipes I see posted here don't include cultures at all. Those that buy pre-blended spice mixes probably have it included already (I suspect). Now...
Made some summer sausage using the Owens mix . Came out fantastic . They really have some great seasonings .
I used a 4 1/2 lb. beef chuck roast that I ground and added 1 lb of ground pork that I had to buy ( $5.49 lb ouch ) . Don't hurt so bad when you support a local meat cutter ...
hi so I am new to fermenting sausage and have never tried to do it before. I was reading a recipe a while back for tangy summer sausage and mentioned it needed to ferment. I was just curious as to what is the process to ferment summer sausage. I’m not new to making sausage because I am a head...
