Was looking for a good smoked venison sausage recipe and came across one in an old book I had floating around; Venison Cookery (1997). Adapted their recipe down to 5lbs (from 6lbs).
3 lbs venison
1 lb pork butt
1 lb pork fat
1 tsp cure #1
5 tsp kosher salt
2.5 tsp paprika
2.5 tsp minced onion
2.5 tsp cayenne
1 tsp + 1/2 tsp + 1/8 tsp black pepper
1 tsp + 1/2 tsp + 1/8 tsp white pepper
1 tsp + 1/2 tsp + 1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp + 1/4 tsp + 1/8 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp + 1/4 tsp + 1/8 tsp thyme
1 c nfdm
1 c water
After an hour or so in the smoker at 120
After 3 hours smoked with apple
Finished in a 170 water bath followed by ice water to cool.
Looks like the NFDM worked its magic; lots of moisture.
Letting them rest a bit in the fridge until the taste test.
