Venison Stew with Pumpkin and Cranberries
Did you know there is a World Championship Pumpkin Chunking competition? And that Discovery Channel airs it on Thanksgiving (8:00 p.m.)? I didn’t know this until a few weeks ago when Rick learned about it while researching something or another. You can see pictures and learn more at the web site, punkinchunkin.org. Not only did I discover the existence of a sporting event where adults build siege weapons and launch squash, I went to it this weekend.
What a blast. Literally. Pumpkins flying out of cannons and everything. The crowds going crazy for all the competitors, thrilled when the pumpkin soars, sad when it fails to launch.
We ended the day with visions of homemade trebuchets in Rick’s head and visions of pumpkin savories and sweets in mine (I was troubled by the amount of perfectly delicious pumpkin that is wasted at this event, but they use a tough Australian variety that I’ve decided is inedible…based on absolutely no evidence at all).
Fortunately, I have a ton of pumpkin in my freezer still, just waiting to be transformed into something delicious. Starting with Venison and Pumpkin Stew. Read the rest of this entry »

I want two things on cold winter nights: venison stew and dinner served fast. This easy venison stew does both. From start to finish, it takes about 30 minutes. And it is so good!
Venison Chorizo Mexicano
Venison meat is wonderful in authentic Mexican chorizo, as spicy sausage used in many dishes. This recipe is very spicy and delicious! Typically chorizo is hung to dry for a few days to eliminate the liquids. I did not do that this time since I planned on freezing the sausage and using it in dishes that require it being browned first. This winter when I can hang the sausages outside, I plan on doing that. I think if you want to eat it as a sausage with bread or rice, you’d want to dry it first.
Recipe: Venison Chorizo Mexicano
Summary: a spicy authentic Mexican venison sausage
Ingredients
- 2 pounds venison meat, stew or grinding
- 1 pounds Pork fat
- 2 tablespoons Paprika
- 4 hot red chilies, seeded and deveined
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon, ground
- 1/2 teaspoon Cloves, ground
- 1/4 teaspoon Coriander, ground
- 1/4 teaspoon Ginger; grated
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried, crushed
- 1 teaspoon Cumin, ground
- 2 teaspoon Salt
- 6 Garlic cloves; crushed
- 1/2 cup Vinegar, white
- 1/2 cup Sherry, dry
- 1 Sausage casing (optional)
Instructions
- Grind the venison and pork, mixing the two meats thoroughly.
- Add paprika, peppers cinnamon, cloves, coriander, ginger, oregano, cumin, garlic, salt, vinegar, and sherry and mix well using your hands.
- Cover the Chorizo mixture and put in the refrigerator to blend the flavors for 3 to 5 days, stirring well each day.
- After the 3 to 5 days, you can stuff the Chorizo into sausage casings, or prep it for the freezer.
- To prep for the freezer, discard the liquid that will have risen to the top of the Chorizo container. Use a melon baller to form the Chorizo into small balls. I then bag them in 1 pound bundles in freezer bags and freeze. This makes it easy to pull them out and use in your recipe.
