Moose Sausage
« on: December 06, 2010, 07:33:46 PM »
A co-worker went moose hunting in Canada this year, while he did not harvest anything, a couple of his hunting buds did. We spent part of the weekend grinding/stuffing 50 lbs of summer sausage and 25 lbs of landjager. I am smoking it now. We used Butcher-Packer spice blends for each. Some of the summer has pepper-jack cheese, some has cheddar, and some is without cheese. I will have some finished product pictures tomorrow.

No, I hope to season it this weekend. I have another co-worker who has about 60 lbs of whitetail he wants to make into sausage the following weekend so that will be the first run.

Wea300, how long did it take you once starting the process for the landjager until you were just finished with the final product?  I know a place that takes a couple weeks for the final product to be ready.  The stuff is great, and I'd kinda like to give making it a shot.

I only used 3 days total as I smoked the sausages to 152 F. I mixed, stuffed, formed them, and then put them in the refer for 24 hours. Next, I smoked them, let them sit on the kitchen table overnight to dry out, then put them in the refer for 2 more days (uncovered) to dry some more. These end up like a cross between jerky and sausage, but more towards the jerky side. The process that takes 2 weeks is a dry cure and uses a different process/curing ingredient. In that process, the meat is never really cooked, just dried out and chemically cured. I'm not quite to that level yet.
