When making my venison snack sticks I use citric acid along with a binder and sure cure, is there a need to use a cure accelerator as well ?

paxras , thanks I had a local meat processor tell me I also needed to use something along the line like sodium erythorbate as well

jblandford Nope, you can use the two together but there is no need, in fact, we don’t recommend it. What are you going to use for fat with your venison?

Jonathon pork fat at a 70-30 ratio

jblandford that’s perfect, just wanted to make sure you weren’t going to end up with dry sticks. It can be done without adding pork fat if you use cold phosphate to increase the water holding capacity of the meat and a binder with lots of extra water. I dont think it is as good, but it can be done!
