    Summer Sausage and Seasoning

    I bought a summer sausage kit from Hi Mountain's with the seasoning included in it.  I also noticed that there were many different seasonings for making jerky.  Could I use the seasonings for the jerky in the summer sausage?  Would it be the same amounts? Bones
