Havoc Maker Jerky

Prepare marinade mixture: Add Soy Sauce, Worcestershire Sauce, smoke flavoring, ground garlic to a large mixing bowl and stir. Cut meat into strips approximately 1/4 inch or less thick. Remove as much fat as possible. Place strips in the marinade and stir. Cover bowl and store in the refrigerator for 24 hr.

The next day

Pour contents of Havoc Maker Hot Sauce Mix on a cutting board and blend mix thoroughly to assure even consistency. Separate about 1/4 of the mix and spread it thinly on the cutting board. Reserve the remaining dry mix for hot sauce as described on the package, or save for more batches of jerky. Sandwich the meat strips between two thick layers of paper towels and press to remove excess marinade. You might have to repeat this again with another batch of paper towels. Once the strips have been pressed, dredge in the hot sauce mix. Dredge one side for HOT, and both sides for SUPER HOT. Place in a food dryer or warm oven until strips are thoroughly dry, usually 3-4 hours.

Crown Roast of Venison

Note: The assembly of the crown is difficult. It is recommended that you take two whole rib sections, with backstraps still attached, to a butcher and have them to assemble the crown roast. If you would like to try to assemble your own. Cut off rib tips even and about 6" above the backbone. Place the two rib roasts end to end on meat board. Cut two small slits behind the adjoining ribs and tie together with cotton twine. Cut two small slits on the end ribs; pull together, meat side toward center, and tie, forming a crown roast. Or, pull both ends of 12 rib roast in to a circle and tie forming a crown. Mix garlic salt and pepper together; rub mixture into all sides of roast. Place seasoned roast, bone ends up, in a shallow roasting pan. Cook Garlic Venison Sausage in a skillet until brown, drain excess grease. Combine next eight ingredients with sausage, stir enough to moisten dried bread. Fill center of crown roast with sausage mixture; cover with aluminum foil. Insert meat thermometer into center of roast. Bake at 325 degrees for two or three hours or until meat thermometer reads 135 degrees to 140 degrees. (Time varies according to size and age of animal.) Add decorative frills for the top of each crown point, (available a local butcher shop.) Serve with Apple--Orange Cranberry Liqueur Sauce. Serves 10 to 14.
