Well, after a terrific maple season, and now a really successful hunting season, I'm looking for recipes that can combine my two loves. Does anyone have anything to share?

We pour the darkest syrup (or our bourbon barrel aged maple syrup) we have on most meats, venison or other. It adds a great flavor. I think the only venison we don't add one or the other is when we make a stew.

Venison Jerky. Works good with beef or venison. Jay

Bourbon Marinated Jerky

4 lbs top round or lean venison roast
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup of Bourbon or your favorite whisky
¼ cup soy sauce
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. coarse ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic smashed
1/2 tsp. onion powder
4 tsp. Korean red pepper flakes (Gochugaru )
2 tsp. kosher salt


Make up a smoker packet by putting 2 or 3 cups of soaked hickory wood chips in an aluminum foil package then poke 6 holes in the top with a knife to let the smoke out.

Chill roast in freezer until slightly firm about 30 minutes, then slice into ¼ inch thick slices across the grain then into long strips

Mix all ingredients in a zip lock bag and marinate meat strips overnight in refrigerator mixing the meat in the bag every few hours.

Hang meat strips from smoker grill using tooth picks on one side of your grill. Build a small charcoal briquette fire on the other side about 8 to 10 coals, cover, with vents open, and let meat dry at 140 degrees with no smoke about an hour then add some coals and place the smoke packet on top of the hot coals and let smoke until the wood chips are all smoked out. Continue cooking until the meat is dry and somewhat leathery about 6 to 7 hours.

Optional: Place smoked meat on a cookie sheet and place into a 160 degree oven for 10 min then cool (this step guarantees that the meat will reach 150 degrees for safety)

One Jerky making book says to place in a 275 degree oven for 10 min if the meat is originally cut 1/4 inch or less if more then more time in oven to make sure all pathogens are killed.

3T syrup
2T soy sauce
2T sesame oil
2T white wine
2t garlic powder

Marinate venison loin in mix above for as long as you want (overnight is good), then grill. We will also make extra sauce on the side and slice the venison thin and stir fry it with veggies and rice for a tasty meal too. I've also made venison meatballs with that mixture in it (cooking it down to thicken it helps a lot for the meatballs).

I made a nice venison maple breakfast sausage this year.

For 10 pounds of breakfast links

6 pounds venison - trimmed and chunked
3 pounds of pork butt cut into chunks
1 pound of bacon diced
1 cup maple syrup
1 cup ice water

Seasoning blend (mix well)

3 Tablespoons kosher salt
3 Tablespoons black pepper
3 Tablespoons ground sage
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (more to taste if you like it spicy)
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon ground coriander

Came out great.
