Summer Snausage Question

[Skinny]

When y'all make summer snausage, what ratio of deer to pork do you use???

I'm thinking 50/50 and some of my cohorts say 70/30 and even 75/25.

Deer/pork

I'd think the leaner the better, but not 100% sure as I've not made summer snausage before now.

Thanks!!!!

I make it @ 85/15 always turns out great, for the pork I use pork butt.
If you want to use a hi temp cheese I use 1lb. for every 10lbs of sausage.

I use 60/40 on mine.

Been doing 70/30 for several years, pork or brisket works fine.

Here's another tip if you like a heavy smoke on your meat. Fully cook the S/S then place in an ice water bath. This will stop the cooking process and the cold water will make your meat shrink.

You can then easily skin the S/S and place back on cold smoke for a really intense smoke flavor.

I have done 50/50 for 3 years now, and it does turn out great, but it does have a little grease to it. Now that y'all mention it, a little leaner might be the way to go. Might try 70/30 this year.

Cat summer sausage??????

I'm trying what Slick8 said!!

[Skinny]

Ok cool 70/30 it is. So that's ~42% pork.

I'm doing 25 pounds so I'll be close enough with 17 pounds of deer and 7 pounds of pork as I'm mixing in 2 pounds of pepper jack cheese.

Thanks y'all!!!!

Cheers!!!!
