    Vension/pork Snack sticks using Morton Tender Quick

    Hello, I would like to make Venison/Pork snack sticks and use Morton's Tender Quick for the first time. The Venison was already mixed with Pork at 90/10 and I am going to add a little more Pork to make it 80/20. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. John
