I got this recipe from an old northeast Nebraska back country farm wife in 1977. That was the year I took my first whitetail, in fact it was taken on her farm. She said it was a “”hand me down”” recipe and actually had never wrote it down until I asked for it ! Which I did after trying some of her Salami. It is 100% deer and NO pork or beef is added to it. I am guessing this makes it very healthy. My wife loves this salami on Ritz crackers with a slice of cheese. It’s also good on a sandwich or just plain by its self…..ENJOY !!!!!…
