Summer time Summer Sausage

[OU812]

Made a new batch of SS the other day, tweeked it some,,,,,,,,,,again. The good stuff

5 lb course ground deer, 1 lb ground beef fat and 4 lb course ground pork butt. Had a jar of jalapenos on the shelf, drained and threw that in there too

Grind again

Add the good stuff, mix well and stuff

Here we go

Hangin to drip dry and get to room temp wile the smoker heats up

In the smoker, temp set at 120 F to dry the casings for an hr then bumped the temp up to 130 F and started 3 hr Pecan.

Bumped the temp up 10 F every hr till the smoker hit 170 F and held it there till the IT hit 150 F

Straight outta the smoker to hang at room temp, no ice bath on these.
Then in the fridge till they firmed up a bit.

Oh Ya

Gooood Stuff

You could taste the peppers but there was no heat

When doing Jalapeno Swiss SS I add 1 lb drained peppers to 10 lb meat, this mighta been 1/4 lb.
