Jalapeno & Pepper Jack Cheese Venison Summer Sausage

[Texas-Hunter]

Starting to use up the last of my venison.. Seems Scott and I had the same but different idea this weekend.. They say great minds think alike... For me... No so much...

Pepper ground through the 1/2 plate.. Damn sure is easier this way..




Mixed into the beer and spice slurry....




While the slurry was getting happy as Emeril would say, I mixed the 60 / 40 venison / pork..





After I mixed in the pepper slurry I added 2lbs of Pepper Jack Cheese Cubes...




Stuffed into casings and rested Friday night....




Out of the smoker and after the water bath..... I let these bloom about 3 hours...




24 hours later after sitting in the frig to cool and relax... I have some damn good SS to snack on over the next few weeks...

Nope, no high temp cheese here..

Nice. Tried some jalapenos in the last batch. Good stuff.

How'd that cheese work for ya? I didn't use a high temp last time and it got soggy about a week later.

[Bassman]

That's some fine looking summer sausage, Ken. I would definitely put the hurt on some of that.

I know what ya mean Ray last batch I did with cheese was kind of ewe.the cheese kinda turned wet soggy like droopy I was wondering if high temp would be better?


Anyway back to the point Thats some awsome sounding S>S> Ken would love to try it.have to getme some of them peppers sometime

I split the pods and removed the seeds only.. I left as much of the membrane I could..

I have never tried high temp cheese.. I just use one of two types of cheese.. Cheddar and Pepper Jack.. And make sure the smoker never exceeds 200*

Never had the temp over 200. It was fine when I first sliced it. A week or so later it kinda oozed out when sliced. Chilled outta the fridge. Used Kraft cheddar crumbles. Kinda disappointing. May have to try a better quality cheese and cube it myself.
