This is my favorite way to use deer meat. I use different cuts (not just brisket), which lets me control how lean I want it. This takes 3 – 4 weeks to “brine” so plan ahead for St. Patrick’s Day dinner.

Ingredients
  • 1 GLASS BOWL or CROCK or (if you’re confident enough) EXTRA LARGE ZIPPERED BAG.
  • . Be sure vessel is large enough to hold meat and water.
  • . [*I like to use a gallon glass pickle jar with a lid.]
  • . Do not use metal.
  • 1 teaspoon SALTPETER.
  • ¾ cup +/- SALT.
  • 2 tablespoons SUGAR.
  • 1 quart WARM WATER.
  • 2 tablespoons MIXED PICKLING SPICES.
  • 2 teaspoons PAPRIKA.
  • 1 teaspoon +/- CHILE POWDER (optional).
  • 2 cloves GARLIC, minced.
  • ½ cup +/- ONION finely diced (optional).
  • 6 pounds +/- MEAT = This can be Beef Brisket or Venison Roast, Elk, etcetera, even a Beef Tongue can be used.
  • 1-2 quarts COLD WATER.

Directions
  1. In GLASS JAR* combine SALTPETER, SALT, SUGAR and WARM WATER.
  2. Stir until all three are dissolved in the water.
  3. Add PICKLING SPICES, PAPRIKA, CHILE POWDER, GARLIC and ONION.
  4. Add MEAT giving it a turn or two to coat all sides.
  5. Then add enough COLD WATER to completely submerge the meat.
  6. [If needed, put a heavy dish on top, to push meat down into the brine.]
  7. Refrigerate for three to four weeks turning the meat (therefore stirring the spices), once or twice per week.
  8. [This is why I like the pickle jar. You can just shake it up and even turn it over. Easy.]
  9. Cook according to your favorite recipe.
  10. ~~~~~~~~~~
  11. Tip: Saltpeter, a.k.a. Potassium Nitrate. A naturally occurring mineral source of Nitrogen.
  12. . [I find this in the pharmacy.]

I can't believe I'm seeing this, breezy! You know, it never entered my mind that you could "home-corn". I will have to try this. You have my hubby's five AND mine! Thanks so much for this post!

We love venison but, I never would have thought to Irish up my deer meat! Gonna try this for Patty's Day, just have to hide the venison in back of the freezer.
