HOW TO STORE VENISON SNACK STICKS:
Once you have made your venison snack sticks, it is important to store them properly to ensure freshness and safety. If your snack sticks are vacuum sealed, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If you do not have a vacuum sealer, you can store them in a ziploc baggie in the refrigerator for about 7 days.
It is important to note that venison snack sticks are not shelf stable and should always be kept refrigerated or frozen until ready to serve. This is because the recipe does not contain any preservatives or curing agents.
If you have leftovers or want to prepare a batch of snack sticks ahead of time, you can freeze them for longer storage. Simply place the snack sticks in an airtight container or freezer bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
CONVENTIONAL OVEN METHOD:
If you don’t have a smoker or grill, these venison snack sticks can still be made in a conventional oven. Start by mixing about ½ teaspoon of liquid smoke into the ground venison if you would like to add that smoky flavor. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, combine the ground venison with cold water and mix until thoroughly combined. Add your desired spices to the mixture and continue mixing until well incorporated. It’s important to keep all the ingredients cold throughout the process, so you may want to chill the bowl before starting.
Next, take your casings and fill them with the venison mixture. Be careful not to overfill them, as they can pop open during cooking. If you are new to stuffing casings, it may take one or two tries to get the hang of it.
Place the filled casings on the prepared baking sheet and cook in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). You can use a digital thermometer to check this. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your oven, so it’s best to monitor closely.
Once cooked, remove the snack sticks from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These homemade venison snack sticks are not shelf-stable, so be sure to store them in either a vacuum-sealed bag for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or wrapped in plastic wrap or a zip-top baggie for up to 7 days.
TIPS FOR MAKING SMOKED SNACK STICKS:
– Start with cold ingredients and keep them cold throughout the process. This helps maintain the texture and flavor of the snack sticks.
– If you don’t have a smoker or grill, you can still make these snack sticks in a conventional oven. Just add about ½ teaspoon of liquid smoke to the venison mixture for that smoky flavor.
– Don’t overfill the casings when stuffing them, as they may pop open during cooking. It may take a few tries to get the hang of stuffing casings if you’re new to it.
– These snack sticks are not shelf-stable and must be refrigerated or frozen until ready to serve. Store them in a vacuum-sealed bag for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or wrapped in plastic wrap or a zip-top bag for up to 7 days.
– Feel free to adjust the spices according to your preference. If you like spicy sausage, simply add more chili flakes.
– To serve, slice the snack sticks into 4-inch pieces and enjoy with your favorite mustard or dipping sauce.
These tips will help ensure that your smoked venison snack sticks turn out delicious and enjoyable every time.
