Dried Sausage

[twostepct]

I make sausage that I cold smoke and hang to let dry but I’ve always used beef or store bought pork. Do any of you use wild hog for dried sausage? Do you take any additional steps during the process?

I made Boerewors (South African sausage) last year with beef and wild pig. Approx ratio was 5:1 (beefork). No special process for the wild pig. The sausage was cooked before eating, over the fire or in the pan.

I would think it’s the same steps. Cure and keep the meat cold while it hangs

Only additional step is shoot a pregnant sow , not one with shouts/ sucked out,
Debone and grind on

Awesome, thanks guys.

You will probably want to add a larger percentage of pork (if mixing meats) if wild due to it having less fat.

Thank you all. I wasn’t sure if using hogs for dry cured sausage would be a concern or not.

As long as it’s cured or cooked all the way it’s good.
