    Default Maple Venison ?

    We get sausage at a local meat market, small place where they're in the back room cutting while you're in the front room in the freezer. They make sausage with a Maple flavoring and it's pretty good, so I thought why not? I always put sausage in when I'm grinding venison for some good fat, and it always helps flavor and moister cooking. I had a quart of dark, dark syrup we weren't going to eat, so I added about 1/4 cup of the dark cooking syrup into about 3 pounds of ground venison and mixed it in real good, then packaged it for freezing. Haven't tried it yet, probably going to wait for grillin season, which may be when I'm boiling in a few weeks. Anybody ever try maple venison burger?.

    I have often thought of buying a injecting needle and injecting link sausage with syrup. Never tried Maple Venison burger but cook a ton of venison steaks , backstrap etc. in syrup. We just tried the same with rabbit and was very good as well as with bear. Then again what isn't good with syrup?

    throw a piece of venison steak in your boiling syrup and cook it that way! **** good! probably not a great idea if you're boiling for commercial sales however.....

    When I'm actually able to get a deer. Which hasn't been good here since the big tornado and ice storm. I mix maple bacon into my burger. Making for a very good flavor

    I wasn't going to admit it but I used to make my sausage with maple bacon. Now that I'm making syrup I changed the recipe to include concentrated syrup.

    Here it is.-5 lbs.venison-2 lbs. bacon-3 tbls. rubbed sage(I've used regular)-1 tbls.red pepper-2 tbls. black pepper-2 tbls. kosher salt-1 tbls. nutmeg -1 and1/3 cups maple syrup.(I boil it down some so the sausage is'nt too soft) Grind the venison and bacon together in a hamburg grinder. Mix it together well adding the syrup. While making sausage keep every thing as cool as possible. Cold is best. The flavor will stand out much better. After grinding the meat chill it before adding ingredients. Mix other ingredients together in a little water(1/4 cup) and blend into the meat. Knead by hand for a while to blend it all together real well. Thats it. I make rolls about 2 to 2.5" and about 10" wide and roll it up in cellophane for the freezer. The only other thing is to make sure the ingredients are measured accurately. A little too much of anything can ruin it. Try a sample and add small amounts if you want to change it.
