Venison SS

[sam3]

Going with Poli's recipe here with a little twist. 

The players.


Ground Venison some poke fat.


Oh my!


Purple Slime! 

Going in for an overnight nap.


Morning!


Stuffed and drying. Not a big fan of these casings....

Hitting them with apple smoke today. Going to take them all the way to an IT of 152 in the smoker in lieu of giving them a poach bath,

Looks good Bro

I tossed these casings out with the others. I'm sure yours will be good.

@9 hours later to hit 152 and they got a quick cold shower. I'm going to let them bloom for a few hours (being it's getting late) and then into the frig to mellow for a day or two. I'll slice one up in the AM to see how it came out.
They smell fantastic.

I couldn't crimp 3/8 rings without them tearing, I had to double crimp 1/2 to get them sealed good. The casings dried nice, that's about it. The vino and apple smoke smell great. Looking forward to cutting into one tomorrow.

Thanks everyone. Here we go..

Casing off.

Smell is really really good.

Sliced shot.


Money!


These came out nice and dry, just the way I like them. It has a salami type appearance and smell, but the wine gives it a nice subtle flavor without overpowering it. If you're not a wine person, then I would go with the 1/2 cup of water. The Srirachi gave it just a touch of heat but in no means too  much. I added 2 tsp of this.
My wife thinks this would go great with on a cracker with some smoked pepperjack cheese, I agree.  I'm going to make a plate of just that on Father's Day. You would never know this was venison either. Great recipe.

Thanks for looking.

For some reason, my server is blocking the website.

Just google Len Poli "Venison Summer Sausage".

No, not at all. Next time I'm going with 2 oz in lieu of 2 tsp.
