Maple Venison Breakfast Sausage Food

VENISON MAPLE BREAKFAST SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Cube Venison and put in freezer. Cube Pork Shoulder and put in freezer. You want to ensure all the meat is partially frozen before grinding so you may need to go mix up the meat in the bowl after 20-30 minutes. Repeat if necessary.
• Course grind the venison and return to the freezer. Grind the pork shoulder and return to freezer.
• In a large bowl mix both the ground venison and ground pork. If you don't have a bowl large enough to mix all at once then just mix equal parts of venison and pork the best you can. If your hands should hurt due to the meat being so cold -- This is Good!
• Add all your dry ingredients in a small bowl, mix, and add to ground meat. Mix by hand and run all the meat back through another course grind.
• Add your liquids (maple syrup and beer) and mix by hand until all is absorbed. Cover meat in large bowl(s) with plastic wrap and put in refrigerator over night.
• Vacuum pack, or use zip lock freezer bags, into 1lb packages and freeze. If you are using zip lock freezer bags ensure you get out as much are as possible before freezing. Vacuum packed meat will last for at least 1-1/2 years in a chest freezer.
