Deer Summer Sausage on the UDS

[thrillhill]

A few weeks ago, Christmas day oddly enough, my wife smoked 19 deer summer sausages on our Ugly Drum Smoker. Most are without casings, and we freeze them afterwards. We have been experimenting with casings as well. Also, and you can see it in a couple of pictures, I had requested that she put crystallized pineapple and pepper-jack cheese in some of them.

This batch was 15 pounds deer, 8 pounds ground pork loin, and 2 pounds pork fat.

My wife says she gets the best results when she cubes everything, mixes in the cure and the seasoning and all the meats, and then grinds.

She tried to keep the smoker between 180 and 220 degrees. I think these went for about 8 hours. She doesn't like when the outside gets a black as some of these, but my friends and I enjoy the heck out of them. She is constantly experimenting though.

I loved the ones she did with pineapple and cheese and intend to get her to do some more.

Looks good I say! I bet the cheese & pineapple adds to the flavor big time. A few slices and a Corona or two would be a combo to my liking.

Man that looks tasty. Hold that thought I'll be right down for lunch.

 

[BurnedOutGeek]

Just so y'all know. The pictures (despite how good they look) still don't do these ANY justice whatsoever!

Smellivision, or tasteivision would be the only true way to grasp the deliciousness

Lol, last week was deer week here. We had it 3 different nights, 3 different ways:

1st was macaroni shells with hot deer sausage in marinara sauce
2nd was Deer Philly teak and cheese
Then we had a friend come over for beers and I thawed out a deer summer sausage to go with cheese and pickles for snakes.

My wife is so cool and a little silly at the same time.

She sent me a text while I was at work yesterday.

It said that her and my eldest daughter (14 years old) had "went for a walk" (They didn't go hunting, they went for a walk. LOL!) with the .410 and a .22 rifle. She said that unfortunately they did not see any squirrels but they did find 4 pounds of Oyster Mushrooms. She asked if I would like them sauteed with my buffalo shrimp that she was gonna make me for supper that night! LOL! She's awesome! And I'm fat. But that's kinda how that works!

She needs to teach my wife. Mines good around our micro farm but she wants a goat for me to milk and chickens for me to kill. Pigs for me to slaughter. See where im going with this?

If y'all have never had the pleasure of eating Mrs. Thrillhill's cooking, you are truly missing out.

Trade in time! Unless of course she is wise, hot and handy with a garden, grill or gun.

 

[CZfool68]

I would destroy the caseless version with the fine looking char. Awesome job by the Mrs. Lucky man.

Amen to that.
