WILD GAME SUMMER SAUSAGE RECIPE
There are three main reasons I love summer sausage. First, it's virtually indestructible. You can bring it along on backpack hunts and camping trips without having to worry about it going bad or getting crushed inside your backpack or cooler. Second, I love it because it's flavored heavily enough to...

Steps:
- While keeping everything ice cold (see methods for fresh sausage), combine the game meat, pork fat, and all of the other ingredients except for the Fermento, water, and casings in a large bowl.
- Mix to combine with your hands. Work in small batches if you need to, and don't be afraid to throw the meat back in the fridge or freezer, or into a cooler with ice, to get chilled again.
- Using the 1/4-inch plate on your grinder, grind the meat mixture into the bowl set over ice.
- Change out the grinder plate to the 3/16-inch plate and pass the mixture through the grinder again.
- Meanwhile, dissolve the Fermento in the water and stir with a spoon.
- Add to the ground meat mixture and again mix with your hands, or throw the meat mixture in the bowl of a standing mixer and mix on low, until it's all incorporated.
- Press a piece of plastic wrap over the surface of the meat, making sure there are no air bubbles. Then wrap the bowl with a second layer of plastic wrap and set it in the fridge for 2 days to ferment.
- Make a little test patty and cook it up in a sauté pan to be sure you got the seasonings right. Adjust them if you didn't. Then, using a sausage stuffer, stuff the sausage into the casings.
- Let the stuffed casings rest in the fridge to dry out for 1-2 hours.
- While the stuffed sausages are resting, soak a panful of applewood chips for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the smoker to 112°-130°.
- Set the pan of chips in the smoker. Lay or hang the sausages in the smoker.
- Smoke for about 60 minutes at this temperature, then raise the temperature to 180°.
- Smoke until the internal temperature reaches 150°, which will probably take 2-3 hours, depending on your particular smoker and the ambient temperature.
- Keep refilling the pan of apple wood chips as they get low.
- When the sausages are done, let them hang at room temperature for 1 hour to cool, then wrap well and refrigerate. They can be frozen for several months.

Steps:
- Grind each meat separately then mix together. It is best if you grind the meat when it is very cold. Mix the ground meat together with all the seasonings. Form into small patties. Saute a small piece and test for taste. You may need to adjust the spices. Next, place a length (10 to 15 feet) of sausage casing on a sausage horn and force mixture into casing. Twist sausages in alternating directions to create 6 to 8-inch long sausages. If well protected, finished sausages can be frozen in a non-frost free freezer for up to a year. The sausages can be cooked directly on a grill or sauteed in a pan. For best results, boil sausages first and finish on grill or pan. Can serve with maple syrup.

Steps:
- Place the venison in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle with the curing mixture, mustard seed, garlic salt, pepper, and liquid smoke. Mix well with your hands until the mixture is evenly blended and begins to stick together, about 2 minutes.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 days, mixing well each day.
- Preheat an oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
- Divide the mixture into 5 one-pound logs, place onto a broiler pan, and place a sheet of aluminum foil on top to cover.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the logs are no longer pink in the center, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 6 to 8 hours. Turn the meat once or twice during cooking. Allow to cool before slicing thinly and serving.

VENISON SUMMER SAUSAGE
This is an excellent recipe for "what to do with all that deer meat" and is also good done with only ground beef, as many ranchers end up with alot of hamburger after the steaks are gone. The 1# of hamburger is necessary as venison, if ground lean, tends to be very dry. I can't keep this stuff in the house--my family loves it and it is very low fat snack. I got this from a former president of the ND Cattlewomen.

HOMEMADE SUMMER SAUSAGE AKA SALAMI
This recipe is as old as the hills. I've made it for the last 50 years and it was old when I got it. I thought it would be a good addition, so that young cooks can see how easy it is to make a basic sausage. You can play with it, add more spice or whatever. I do suggest trying it as written first. Just as good as what you can buy, but you know what is in there. I make a double recipe and then freeze it. It is really easy and quick to whip this up and costs a lot less than store bought. Prep time does not include sitting in the fridge for 24 hours.

Steps:
- Mix together all ingredients in a nonmetal bowl. It is easier to mix the seasoning with the water, then incorporate the meat, using your hands to distribute all spices evenly (like making a meatloaf). A note, based on a review, do not over mix the meat or it will be tough. This is true about any kind of meat, work it just enough to get every thing incorporated.
- I use an ice cream bucket and place a lid on top.
- Refrigerate for 24 hours.
- Remove from bowl and roll into 4 rolls, about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick.
- Wrap in aluminum foil with shiny side towards meat.
- Punch tiny holes along one side and place in a broiler pan with holes down to drain out liquid.
- Bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.
- Remove foil and rewrap in plastic wrap.
- Ready to use or freeze.

CHEF JOHN'S SUMMER SAUSAGE
Traditionally, summer sausage is made and cured in the winter so that it's ready to enjoy during the summer, but unless you have some sort of time machine, we're going to have to settle on this easy, and much faster, shortcut method. Despite only taking a few days, this comes really close to everybody's favorite gift-basket sausage and makes a great centerpiece to any charcuterie board.

Steps:
- Smash celery into juicy bits using a mortar and pestle. Combine with ground beef in a large bowl. Add garlic powder, paprika, mustard seeds, kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, curing salt, and sugar. Mix by hand until thoroughly combined.
- Transfer meat onto a large piece of parchment paper. Use damp hands to shape into a 3- to 4-inch-thick log. Roll up in the parchment paper, compressing it as much as possible. Twist ends tightly to seal. Place on a paper towel-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
- Cut ends off the parchment paper and unwrap meat. Mix liquid smoke with water and generously brush over the meat. Roll meat back up in the paper, then again in aluminum foil, sealing it tightly and twisting the ends in opposite directions.
- Line a baking sheet with a wire rack and place the sealed meat on top. Poke 5 or 6 holes across the bottom for excess moisture to drip out.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees F (66 degrees C) and no higher, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Let sausage cool in the pan until room temperature, at least 30 minutes. Give ends a tighter twist, then refrigerate at least 8 hours, or overnight.
- Unwrap sausage and slice in half. Coat outsides with freshly ground black pepper, place on a plate lined with crinkled foil, and let dry in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
