This is a delicious way to utilize the shoulders of deer or elk. The process takes a little time but is well worth it. The curing gets rid of the gamey flavor of the venison. You may add one tablespoon of pickling spice if desired for a more intense flavor.

- 2 cups water
- 6 tablespoons sugar-based curing mixture , such as Morton Tender Quick
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 4.5 teaspoons pickling spice

Homemade Chili Seasoning Popcorn
Popcorn as good as the theater's, with a kick! The seasoning is salty, spicy, and a little smoky. All you need is a large pot or metal bowl; I use a large 2-gallon metal bowl. Omit the chili powders if you don't like it spicy.
Crustless Cottage Cheese Mini Quiches
This crustless cottage cheese quiche recipe is simple to make and vegetables can be interchanged with what you have. If you want a knock-off of the pricey soufflé sold at a local cafe chain, just add puff pastry to the bottom of a pie tin.
