I have been experimenting with Habs in venison sausage. I dried the Habs and ground them to give me a little more control. Freshly ground Habs do retain that nice Hab flavor and if you dry them in the oven it adds a roasted dimension. I've tried up to a tablespoon per pound which makes a pretty spicy sausage, but you know how subjective perceptions of heat can be. I tried one batch with a teaspoon per pound and got complaints from non-CH folks. I'm on my lunch hour at work so I don't have the rest of the spices I use on hand, but, if you'd like, I'll look them up and post them. Have fun with it, Doug ************************************************************* * For the sake of tolerance do we tolerate the intolerable? * *************************************************************
