venison peperoni

[kbyers]

Hey guys, I was going to make some peperoni sticks out of some ground venison.. I have never done this before and was wondering if I should use pure venison or mix it with beef or pork.  The venison has not been ground yet.  Any info is greatly appreciated.  Thanks

I tried some of the summer sausage recipes here, came out good. Check the "other deer sausage" link for snack sticks.

I make quite a bit of pepperoni and I found that using pure venison yields a very dry stick, I think you would be better off adding a little fat to it to keep it from drying out as much.
good luck !!

5 lbs.of pork butt for every 20 lbs. of venison is a good ratio. The pork really helps the texture and acts as a binder.
Making pep sticks is alot of work even with ver good equipment.

I would say pork fat.

make sure to keep everyting cool too so it doesnt dry out the meat while being grinded

do it pure

I've tried it pure,and it turned out very very dry and wouldn't hold together very well.
But all venison ground with a jerky shooter turned out great.
