What a day in the kitchen!!!

[hockeybc69]

Well, sad to say, I didnt go fishing today.....LOL!!! I spent most of the day in the kitchen.... I must be losing my mind or something. HAAA

10 lbs of venison jerky made in the dehydrator, mango salsa, refrigerator pickles, pickled eggs, jazzed up juicy lucy's for dinner.

I think this is the first time in my life, my wife wasnt anywhere nearby and I had the run of everything in the kitchen.... I will say, when she got home her eyeballs popped out of her head when she saw the mess I had created. Ooops.

Pickled Eggs

The brine gets boiled and cooled slightly. Then layer, sausage, onions, jalapenos, garlic (2-layers) in a large gallon size jar. Then pour the slightly cooled brine over the pickling ingredients.

Brine Ingredients

•8 cups vinegar

•4 cups water

•4 tablespoons of pickling salt

Bring to boil and let cool for a while.

In the jars place tese ingredients.

•1 teaspoon of minced garlic (add in 1/2tsp qty, 2X)

•2 Hillshire Farms Smoked Sausage Links (Sliced about 3/4″) (Sausage must say they are pre-cooked)

•2 Onions (Sliced Thin)

•2 tablespoons of red pepper flakes

•2 tablespoons of black peppercorn balls

Jar up and put in the fridge or in the closet..... I dont like the idea of not refrigertaing at least. This is my first attempt at this.

thanks for that super effort and recipies to boot. amazing you got all that done but it's a work of art in my book. i did 15 pounds of jerkey one day and i dont think i will ever do that again. all day long and into the night. turned out great but smaller batches next time. i applaud your efforts and i mean every effort you made. all i did today was cut and wrapped the venison salami i finished up yesterday and made wings wild rice, hot dogs for the grand kids with fry's but nothing compared to your efforts. i salute you sir. good luck.
