I use a snap lock container and put a brown sugar bear into it. The bear and the air tight container keep the brown sugar fresh

I have a terra cotta rooster in my brown sugar. It works great (as long as I remember to wet it down periodically).

I like the idea of bread or potato slices, never heard those before!

I’ve always heard to use an apple slice.

Another good tip! (Although, I usually eat all of the apples around here )

today am starting to make venison or deer bacon. made it once before turned out okay (a little strong tasting in the smoke and salt department)

right now got some brisket? maybe flank or belly meat. in a cure that i saw on the internet a while back. pretty much its just salt, pepper, cure and pumpkin spice.
i also trimmed all the fat off because this is a mule deer and the fat can tasty like sage.

Ever consider doing corned venison? From my experience with mule deer, it's quite tasty. Last time I shot a deer, October 11th, 2018, the first thing I made was corned venison because it was so good. I used a hind quarter.

That will work too. I have used a potato slice because it does not change the flavor. Of course I was using it to keep the Copenhagen moist. Some people liked to add a little booze.

Booze to the Copenhagen or the brown sugar? j/k

Copenhagen, just add water and yeast to the brown sugar to get the alcohol effect.

i have been thinking about it.
the deer i am using is from last years season (its about a year old now so i want to use it up) am planning to maybe go white tail hunting this weekend. but i got some bear meat left i would like to try corning it. (its like a mix between beef and pork, i think its really good)

do you have a recipe for corned venison? that you would mind sharing? i would love to hear how you make yours.

You have been very busy!

its not as bad as making pork bacon for time, it takes about 3-4 days (as the meat is really thin) to cure last time i think i did 5 days and came off really salty

Yum!

thank you. i sure hope it is good.

Bear meat? That's something I've never tried. Did you get the bear hunting?
