The finished product 12.5 hours later. These were stuffed in 40mm collagen ring casings . Flavor is good and somewhat dry compared to what I have made in the past but this was an experiment using pork loin vs pork butt. Overall I like it but a little more fat would bring out more flavor.
 
Looks good from here!
I've never used Venison so I can't answer to that. A little fat may have helped with the dryness but it looks like it stuck to the casings well.
The taste is the test...

Which recipe did you use ? I like it dryer personally.:emoji_thumbsup::emoji_thumbsup::emoji_thumbsup:
I used P&S seasonings red barn bologna with 9 pounds of venison to 3.5 pounds of pork loin. I knew it would be dryer but I just had to try it. Overall I like it. Strange thing was that the last 12.5 pound batch of ring bologna only took 6.5 hours to get to temp. This lean stuff took 12.5 hours . I wonder if it was due to the lean meat or the temp probe not being hung from the same spot? Thanks for the likes

PJ, Your sausage looks great, I too have experimented with loin vs. butt when mixing with venison, I use pork butt now for the extra fat it provides.
