Venison sausage with Jalapeno and Cheddar

[Smokin Soon]

Carolyn, Great job there! Sausage is fun, takes some practice, but every batch you do will be better. Pay attention to what flavor you would like more of, such as more garlic taste, more onion, higher heat, ect.
Your lucky to have spousal backup cause when I get out the meat grinder and stuffer, mine takes a hike! Gets messy sometimes.  ;D

Thanks everyone!
I need to clarify that is water on the paper towel not oil from the sausage.  My helpful hubbie said they looked like they are laying on a greasy paper towel.  That's just water from shocking them in cold water.  Actually I rendered just a couple drops of fat out them the entire time they were in the smoker.

Great looking sausage, Carolyn.  Tell your better half, even if it was grease, that kinda stuff actually draws this type of crowd  ;D

Ha ha that's true!  Grease is good!
I think he just doesn't want me to get full of myself.  With learning to smoke sausages AND upload photos all in one day I may get too big for my britches! ;)

He's just trying to talk you out of those delicious looking sausages and keep them all to himself.

Great Job Carolyn
