Fruit of Labor
Nov 22nd, 2008 by Jhonne Jones
Today has been a productive day. Truman and Stan have killed 3 deer this season. Stan and the boys processed most of one to make some hard dried sausage. Yesterday and today all of us pitched in to strip the meat off the rest of the bones. Tamara is starting some jerky with some of it, and Stan and I made the rest of it into breakfast sausage to freeze.
I don’t really like processing the meat a lot, but I do enjoy eating it. The dried sausage turned out really well. We got the recipe from an older couple in our community. He showed Stan how to make a smoke house several years ago. We’ve used it for jerky a lot. This is the first year, however, that we’ve make the hard dry sausage we like so much.
