Summer Sausage fat content
« on: August 29, 2015, 09:33:08 AM »
With game meat, elk, deer whatever, what's the lowest prom fat content I can go and still get a cohesive non crumbly stick of sausage??

I want to go lean as possible...

Feedback appreciated!

Not sure about how low you can go, but I buy a pork butt from cash and carry and run 20%

I don't add any fat by itself, just lean pork shoulder, one part to four so 20% of finished product.

I've done 30 deer and 10 pork shoulder, cured overnight, ran back through grinder and stuffed, smoked, and vacuum sealed.  Never had a problem with it being crumbly.

Thanks all
We used about 1/4 pork butt... So true fat content was pretty low. Then I cooked it too long... And... It got dry and is not the best...
