Sausage making went slower than expected... due to spreadsheet busts (by me) and a weighing error (by me). The new grinder (a LEM Big Bite #12) was a big help, and things were made easier by commercial grade toys that we have accumulated over the years.
Pictured is the @Foghorn, who was looking for a higher concentration of venison than some of the other recipes. This was a spin on our TX Beef recipe, but with venison (50% venison, 20% lean pork, 30% pork fat). We initially took out the jalapenos (since we had @Griffin's jalapeno cheddar sausage, which turned out awesome), but it really took off when we added the dried tailings from @The Cen-Tex Smoker's fermented sriracha (adding it above). @The Cen-Tex Smoker realized he had some of TFJ's fermented jalapenos in the fridge, and we added those as well. This is a spice-forward venison sausage, and turned out awesome.
The quality of venison we got from @Foghorn is awesome, and really works with the pork we added.
