HOMEMADE VENISON BRATWURST RECIPE FROM SCRATCH

By gbvampy1

Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground venison
• 2 lbs ground pork butt (fatty meat for flavor)
• 1 large onion, minced or grated
• 1/2 tsp brown sugar
• 1 TBS kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp ground sage
• 1/2 tsp caraway seed (or to taste)
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 tsp freshly grated black pepper
• 2/3 cup dark beer (see note below)

Preparation

Step 1

Mix the ingredients together and put mixture in food grinder. Turn the grinder on and hold the casing. The casing will fill with air – then squeeze the air out of the casing and tie a knot on the end.

Push the meat mixture through as the casings fill - hold the casing as it coils. Pinch the end of the casing and twist it a few times and tie that end off.

Now you can boil them in beer or water, or grill them for 20 to 30 minutes.

**After soaking, rinse thoroughly by placing the end of the casing opening over the water faucet and rinse it that way.
