Well i have been really busy. Just now i did the last of my processing from last season. Made about 100;bs of venison burger. This was me and two friends deer.
They had about 50 lbs of ground hog me made into sausage. I had all the bellies- rib meat and some neck meat defrosted i just cured.

Just cooked some this morning.

This is the best batch of bacon yet. For the curing i defrosted it patted dry salted ( pink salt & sea salt) Poured some maple syrup over it then placed in a large sealed tub and refrige for 7 days. every other day a shook the tub vigorously.
Now on day two i drained the fluids from the tubs and repeated a light salting and syrup.
Two tubs with about 5 to 8 lbs in

1/4 cup sea spoon on pink for fist salting per tub
light sprinkle next day.

Tonight i slice and pakage it.
