Brown Cure with Sugar vs. Brown Sugar Cure

[poohgc]

Hello all,

We are trying to follow a recipe that asks specifically for "Heller's Brown Sugar Cure".  The only thing we can find in the nearest sausage making shop it a cure called "Hellers GB-0050 Country Brown Cure with Sugar".  The people that helped us said it is the same thing.  I looked on the internet and found them both named here :  http://www.alamoholly.com/sub5.htm.  So now I am at a loss as to whether or not we need to get the cure named Heller's Brown Sugar Cure".  Can someone shed some light as to the difference between the two?

Thanks

Gale

welcome Gale, before i try to shed some light, what are you trying to make?

We are going to attempt a new recipe for sausage. Deer sausage to be exact, mixed half and half with pork.

Hi poohgc, welcome to the Forum!

I can't shed any light on your question, but Smokehouse is quite the expert in this area, and perhaps Jaeger, Whitetailfan, and a few others here might have some info for you too.

Gale,
Here is a link for a seasoning distributor. They are very helpful and I think you will be happy with their prices. Give them a call![;)]

If anyone is interested, the last time that I talked to them, they said they would break down cases so you could by one bag instead of 5. Most of us would not need enough seasoning for 500 # of meat.
