These luxury game sausages combine the rich yet sweet flavor of elk with pears and the tanginess of port wine.
Elk is considered by some people to offer the best flavor of all the venison game meats (deer meat, elk meat, antelope meat, moose, etc). When compared to deer meat and antelope meat, its flavor is on the beefier side. Because it’s very low in fat and cholesterol, and high in zinc and iron, elk is a healthy alternative to beef.
Ingredients: Elk, beef, pork, dried pears (dried pears, sulphur dioxide), salt, cherry syrup (pure cane sugar, water, cherry flavour, concentrated lemon juice), port wine (contains sulfiting agents), sugar, spices and spice extracts, ground chili powder, garlic powder, flavourings, dextrose, stuffed in a natural pork casing. Produced in a plant that uses milk products and soy.
Store frozen elk sausages in your freezer until you're ready to use them, then thaw as many packs as you need.
For thawing tips, please read Safely Defrosting Frozen Food for Maximum Flavor.
Elk sausage is easy to roast, sauté, or grill. However, it is not only suited to whole-sausage applications. Its casing can be cut, and the sausage meat crumbled into sauces or used as a stuffing or filling as you would use conventional bulk sausage.
To make these sausages even fancier, try grilling them and serving them with sauces made with huckleberries, cognac, port, vinegar (aka a gastrique) or other berries. Instead of bread, rolls, or potatoes, why not serve them with sunchokes (aka Jerusalem artichokes)?
