I almost failed at this recipe as I couldn’t find bear hands, we don’t have bears in Australia, However, I was able to find wombat hands and proceeded successfully with the recipe 🐨

I took a "class" in charcuterie several years ago when my sons still lived close by. My dear hubby bought me a smoker and we enjoyed lots of homemade sausages, bacon, and other meats (and cheeses!) for many years which we shared with my sons. Now that I live alone (hubby passed in 2016) and my boys live far away, I really miss all that great food! This sounds like something I can make in a little smaller batch and enjoy! Thank you!

What a lovely life experience! I hope you find joy in this recipe. Maybe your boys will find their way back home more often as a result.

Chef John, I don't know if you read these anymore, if you do here is a heartfelt thanks! I have always been good in the kitchen but never really proficient beyond the typical American foods. When life threw a curve and I had to become a stay at home dad with two kids and a single income I used the opportunity to send myself back to culinary school (always a dream) via KZread. I found food wishes about 2 years ago and I have faithfully watched ever since! By learning your techniques and mastering my own style I have become a whiz of a home-chef. We may be poor and our kids may be eating us out of house and home but thanks to your tutelage we eat like kings! I am feeding my wife, myself, and two kids on $275 a month thanks to your techniques. So John, welcome to the family, we certainly look to you as a member of our clan! Thanks again!!

You need to get out more and look at the foods sold in the store if you've never heard of this.

I've been watching your videos for several months. I've learned a lot, and I've tried several of your recipes/ideas/techniques. But I have to tell you, nothing you've done has been 1/4 as valuable as this video!!! I've processed my own venison for decades, but I always take one deer to the processor for two specific things: summer sausage and bologna. I've been searching KZread for a technique I could do, but NONE of them look like what I get from my processor. And since he gets my sausages back to me in about a week I know he's not doing the traditional long-term curing. When I came across your video I know I'd found how he's accomplishing such a great summer sausage in just a few days!! Your result looks EXACTLY like his, and I'm absolutely thrilled to know I can now do it myself!!! Thank you!!!!

I love the fact that this doesn't take very long to make and it seems fairly straightforward.

I'm ready for bed, already in my PJs and now I'm tempted to get dressed and go to the store to start this process. Then by the weekend I could be eating it. Yum! I've never even considered making my own

"Thin James" Chef you never disappoint. Every recipe of yours I have ever tried has been fantastic. You brighten the world in the best way! Thank you.

I like the fact that your dishes seem doable and not overly fru fru with ingredients and techniques.

Chef John's peanut butter sandwich is like... spread peanut butter on a loaf a bread... ...spread it like a bad rumor, ... ...not harmful bad, interesting bad, like your weird aunt taught you... ...then a shake o cayenne pepper... which is not optional... and there you go! As always...enjoy.

August 16th, 2019. My project this week was to make this sausage. I purchased the lean ground beef and a few seasonings on Wednesday. I mixed the meat and seasonings together and rested them overnight. Yesterday I cooked the sausage, then cooled it. I had some for supper just now. Wonderful sausage in a couple of days; 30 minutes of labour; excellent results. Thank you.

I must add that every recipe I’ve followed from you Chef John has been boisterous to say the least and to taste.... the most. Thank you

Oh my goodness thank you SO much - I have a hard time finding summer sausage where I live (in the middle of nowhere) so now I can make my own and I will know what's in my sausage! This has made my day.

I'm making this for probably the tenth time! I divide the log so I can give one away. This time to my neighbors with some cheese and crackers. Makes an excellent gift! I had to buy the curing salt from Amazon and I always use trader Joe's 96/4 ground beef because it's lower fat but really comes out super delicious!

I always use to covet the Hary&David summer sausage my dad would get as gifts from friends during Christmas.

The final comment about sobrasada made me remember when I used to participate in the making of sausages and sobrasadas in Mallorca with a dear friend and his family. Turning a whole pig into delicious food in one day is really fascinating if you enjoy food. Happy to see Chef John know about sobrasadas!

I grew up eating moose & caribou summer sausage in Alaska. We were always disappointed when the freezer supply ran out. I was craving it & surfed for a recipe when your video popped up. I made it with beef and it was so easy & so delicious, perfect! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.😊❤️❤️❤️❤️👍

This is just how my dad makes his venison summer sausage! Soooo good!

Brilliant! I never knew you could make sausage like that. Chef John, you always surprise!

A must try for me, Chef John just keeps delivering.

What a great channel! Two of my favorite things, dry humor and demystifying how things are made.

This looks great. Thanks for the inspiration chef.

I was JUST thinking its about time for a new Chef John vid!

You are such a good teacher. Marvelous. Dad used to get venison made into different cuts, which always included summer sausage. Oh, wow. Wonderful.

I am definitely trying this! I just made Pate de Campagne for Christmas, and it was a royal pain in the tuchus. Delicious, but a pain. This looks much simpler. My neighbor used to make what she called Venison Bologna during hunting season. She packed it into a casing she made from muslin about the size of regular bologna and tied on both ends with strings. It wasn't aged, but baked like this , and was delicious on a sandwich with mustard and a slice of onion.

Is it weird that I haven’t met chef John or ever even talked to him but I feel like he’s one of my closest friends? Like in my subconscious he’s my best friend

Thank you for your website. Looked at a lot of recipes that you have. Being I make a lot of my own soups and stews you gave me a lot of different ideas. I am trying the summer sausage one today. I also did one with the hamburger and made one added some ground sausage and hamburger to see how that one comes out. I lost my original recipe for my summer sausage and my smoker went kaput so I wanted a different way of making it. I do like trying different things as I grow my own veggies. I am so glad I found your site. I am 77 and still like making my own stuff including my chicken and beef broth and bone broth. Thank you again for your site.

Just made this with minced pork, didn't want mustard seeds, so used a teaspoon of dried English mustard! Turned out really well, grandsons were most impressed! Making another one with beef!

I'm irish, rural kentucky, the best summer sausage you will ever eat is made with venison, better than beef, bison, or horse meat, venison is the perfect meat for summer sausage.

"Snap into a Thin Jameses!" This is so lovely. Now I know how to make my own summer sausage. I never even considered making my own because I thought I would need all kinds of special equipment, a big smoking room... But not so. And I'm feeling so rebelious, I think I may make one of these, even though it's not even summer.

oh it’s beef! i’m definitely gonna try this now

Chef John no you didn't do summer sausage! You the Bomb diggity

Chef John, regarding the air pockets in the sausage... While in Italy back in the 80's and 90's, I helped family make pork sausage and other charcuterie. An essential step before putting it into casings was that after the meat paste had been mixed together with spices (and wine, which might not go wrong here either!), was to take large handfuls and slam it down on the mixing board several times, which helped create a more solid mixture and eliminate bubbles. As always, thanks for your wonderful recipes!

Some of your best work. Brilliant!!!!

2:51 *"BEEF SPLEEF"* is now the name of my experimental side project indie band.

"...basically a giant beef spleef." I seem to recall that phrase from one of the earlier drafts of "Fifty Shades of Grey".

I had venison summer sausage. And it was real good. Ugh i need to try this too!! Thanks...more work on my list!!!!!

I've been making this type of summer sausage for about 20 years or so, it's also very good with venison and elk, moose ect. And as he said don't be afraid to try other herbs and spices in it, I've got several versions that are very good. As I type this I've got five, two pound logs of venison and beef in the oven. eight pounds venison mixed with two pounds beef, you need the beef in there for the fat as venison is too lean, but it comes out delicious.

I didn't know I needed more beef splifs in my life.

Been eating sausage in the summer; Since I was a kid. Summer sausage tastes great late, I’m just not a fan of mid. Midsommar sausage isn’t bad I just think it tries too hard. But honestly I’ll eat all sausage- Boiled, fried, or charred.

I made this and it was very good. I found the taste and texture improved after a few days in the fridge.

I made this decades ago as a 9-year old Campfire Girl. We used celery seed instead of fresh, and cooked it over / off to the side of a campfire. Then when I took some to my mom at home, she loved this "summer sausage" so much that she did it in her oven. Honestly? ;-) ours had a nice browned exterior as we cooked it without parchment albeit as slowly, if not even slower. And it's quite good stuff. Thanks for bringing back a good childhood memory.
