Recommendation needed for corned venison neck.

Most people throw the neck away. We try to use every part of the deer possible. That said, I have been corning the necks for several years now with fantastic results. After corning it can be frozen for well over a year. We slow cook it in a crock pot with cabbage. It will cook to pieces and taste just like corned beef brisket. I've always used McCormick pickling spice, but cant find it in bulk. My question is have any of you ever corned your own beef or venison and if so what pickling spice did you use.

This is how it's done. Works on ANY PROTEIN!

Brine like I do it.

Gallon of water.

1 cup pickling salt.

1/4 cup white sugar. (optional)

Palm full, bout' 2 oz., store bought pickling spice.

Bout' tablespoons black pepper. (optional)

Boil half of the water with spices. Mix with additional water to make 1 gallon.

Cool, put meat in plastic tub,
At least 12 hours. Longer in the fridge is better.

Add more brine if you need it. More is better.

Cook it!

PM me if you need some help.
Be glad to. I use this ALL THE TIME and it works
better than any store bought you can find.

Go to Sausagemaker.com for bulk spices at good prices. No one's pickling spice mix is the same as anyone else's but theirs is pretty good. They also have all the meat handling/butchering equipment you need. I have dealt with these guys several times and am always pleased.

I have no idea why anyone would throw away a deer neck. If nothing else, there's several pounds of burger on there.
