Venison/bear summer sausage

[highmuley]

Hello all,

I was thinking about making some venison/bear summer sausage. Substituting the pork with bear. Has anyone tried this with success (taste wise I mean)?

I didnt have enough ground bear and ground deer to make a batch of pepperoni sticks. So my butcher mixed them together to make a batch. I have cheddar and pepper jack cheese in it and they are wonderful

I've not done it myself but have had both bear and deer made ibto summer sausage and it was very good.

I do my own summer sausage and use 40% pork. Pork shoulder or pork butt and it seems to work the best for me. Remember one thing and never forget that when doing summer sausage with bear in it, you have to get the middle temperature of the sausage to 160 degrees and hold it for about an hour.  Triganosis  is a worm that is killed from cooking and cannot kill it in the freezer. When doing the cooking process, you don't cut corners doing it.  Read the box when buying the cure and it will tell you how to cook and the process takes time. P.S. pardon my spelling
