“My husband is a avid hunter and we make this sausage every year. We add pork to the venison because the venison has such a low fat content. For the pork we get really fatty looking roast ground at our grocery store.” - by AMYNJOHN36

Ingredients

6 pounds ground venison
2 pounds ground pork
1/4 cup sugar-based curing mixture (such as Morton® Tender Quick®)
1 tablespoon fresh-ground black pepper
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons dried sage

Directions

In a very large bowl or plastic tub, sprinkle the venison and pork with the curing mixture, pepper, pepper flakes, sugar, and sage. Mix very well to evenly incorporate everything. When working with large quantities of sausage, cook a small piece to make sure the seasoning is exactly how you like it.
Divide into 1 pound portions and freeze.

"Terrific recipe, AmynJohn! We have 3 hunters under one roof and using all that venison can be a challenge before the next season rolls around. This will definitely help to use up the meat. We used ..." See moreAdobe seasoning instead of the curing mixture since I could not find the Morton's one you suggested.
