Currently I am wanting to make some pineapple jalapeno venison smoke sausage. Maybe you are experienced with pineapple? From reading this forum it appears I may either not taste the pineapple or go overboard and break down the proteins.

Thanks!

SpotTheCow I make filleto and do not use casings. Just cure it whole, and use butchers twine to form into nice round shape, tucking tail under. Shoot for 35-40% weight loss.

SpotTheCow I agree with skibumben that butchers twine and trussing should work fine. But, if you do want to use something the large or small Roast Wrap should work fine.

Hi, I am 40 years old. I’m from northern MN. I grew up hunting and fishing. We have been butchering and processing our own meat since i was a kid. My dad has taught me the basics but now I am more interested on perfecting the process and making the best product i am capable of with the equipment I have. I am constantly researching better equipment and make upgrades when the wallet allows. I have learned a lot from this website over the past year and i appreciate all the videos that explain why you do what you do.

Brian Schneider Well I sent you some snack sticks yesterday that I really liked, I hope you like heat! Glad to see some people who have been using the information coming off the sidlelines and joining in the conversation! You’ll have to let us know what yout think of the sticks. Were they too hot?

Brian Schneider There isn’t nutritional information for them but you can see a list of ingredients by scrolling down on the product page and clicking on the “additional Info” tab. Now, the vast majority of sausage seasonings will have salt as the #1 ingredient. For example, the Andouille is 40-46% salt which means that 40-46% of the weight (1.46875) is salt, which would be .675625 which sounds like a lot until you realize that this is enough for 25 lb of meat. So that would be .027025 lb of salt per lb of meat and your sausage isn’t going to be a lb.
Now, if you were more wondering about the sugar in some of the seasonings you will find that aside from the sweet seasonings, like Habanero BBQ which has Sugar as the #1 ingredient they will be extremely low. Take the Andouille we were talking about above. Sugar is max of 6% so that would be .05 of an oz or 1.4 grams per lb of meat. If you use common sense and avoid anything with Sugar as the #1 ingredient then carbs aren’t really that much of a consideratrion. I hope this helped and didnt just make it more confusing!

@Jonathon- Thanks I understand. I was wondering about the sugar content in some of the seasonings. My wife and I are doing a low carb diet and I just made up some summer sausage so I was hoping we would be able to eat it. Thanks for the info.

Brian Schneider Which seasoning did you use? I did the H-Summer once and I am pretty sure it qualified as sugar-free (less than 1 gram per serving of 1 oz) but I can double check. The habanero BBQ one will NOT be a low sugar snack though!
