This winter I stuffed the freezer with a bunch of pork jowls - the thought being that we would cure them and hang them. Well that didn't work out.
I'm going to cure some and smoke them, then I can slice and freeze (take up less room in the freezer).
My question is: I also still have a lot of venison in the freezer and I'm thinking of thawing it out, along with more of the pork jowls, and grinding it all up and making sausage, smoking the sausage, and then freezing it. Again, smaller, neater packages for the little freezer. Jean do you think this will work???? The jowls are really fatty so I'm thinking that might be better than buying more pork & fat.

You only live once . . . but if you do it right once should be enough!
