Summer sausage

[follow maggie]

I took my first whack at it last year....  My first thought after making a test batch with burger was why did I wait so long to do this!  So good.

The deer was better than the beef, and the hands down winner by all who try it is the bear.  Don't know what it is about bear meat but it makes outstanding summer sausage.

Bear sausage is awesome. By far my favorite. Best I’ve ever had is from an Idaho bear.

Anyone can make summer sausage. This recipe actually tastes good and is super simple

Did 40lbs not too long ago with this years bear. I usually do 50/50 wild game & pork shoulder mix so I get a little more end product. Don’t know if it’s the right way but it turns out good! I’ve used seasoning mixes from high mountain and sausagemaker.com and both have been great. Didn’t smoke this last batch, just did it in the oven.
