Venison sausage or snack sticks.

[pc farmer]

I think I am ready to get into the sausage making.

I have a very old hand crank stuffer and a grinder as old as the stuffer.

I have ground venison and 5 lb ground sausage.

Can I make anything out of it?  Snack sticks?

Thanks.

Sure can - you can make snack sticks or bologna easily  

  Sounds like you have an old Enterprise lard press/ stuffer - they are pretty tough old machines...

Ha.  I dont know the name of it but we pressed lard and made fresh sausage with it.

Would love a good bologna recipe.

I use a recipe from dales cookbook, a guy out of Wyomissing Pennsylvania for my snack sticks, they are the most amazing snack sticks I've Eaton or made. For bologna I use the pa Dutch country sweet mix from con Yeager, it makes 25 lbs at a time and you need pink cure salt. Kinda everything from pa, haha I think con Yeager spice is from Pittsburgh

Have a link?  I have pick salt and maybe it is close to what I have made from the Amish.

Hey Adam,

This isn't exactly the question that you asked, but I did want to tell you that I absolutely LOVE Pop's breakfast sausage recipe used to make bulk venison breakfast sausage.  I calculated out his spices on a per weight basis, but dropped the salt down significantly as my husband and I don't like salty sausage.  I've received nothing but compliments on it.  

Venison Breakfast Sausage (adapted from Pop's recipe):

80% lean venison/20% pork fat
1.1% pickling salt (calculated based on weight of meat + fat)
.3% ground sage
.3% freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp brown sugar per lb of sausage meat
scant 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes per lb of sausage meat

Anyway, didn't answer your question, but hope you have fun with your new toys!

I like browsing their site for spices too, so far only got the rotisserie BBQ chicken one and it was pretty good.

Are you looking for a sweet bologna recipe?

 

[pc farmer]

No. What we have made isn't sweet. The amish in Belleville makes it.

Hey now. What do you have?

Ah ok - that's not really spicy is it? Sort of just an even flavored deer bologna?

 

[pc farmer]

Yup. Mild and meat flavored.
