So back in Illinois, I used to have a processor make cured/fermented deer sausage (50%deer/50%pork) for me that was awesome. I dont live there anymore however. I think they called it country style sausage, but it was probably just summer sausage. Besides awesome flavor, it was cold smoked (I believe) and cured/fermented for 6-8 weeks in the air, not cooked under high heat during the smoking process. I absolutely HATE cooked summer sausage.
Anyone have a recipe like this they can share? Or know of a good online source for this type of recipe? I'd like to be able to do it on my own.
