Venison/Pork sausage link question.....did I mess up?

[troys947]

I added cure to my ground venison and pork sausage mix. I made both maple and hot Italian. Stuffed them in casings and then was wondering wether to smoke them or just freeze them and cook em from raw. When researching I do not see that anyone is using cure… advice?

troys947 Either way is fine but if you are going to smoke hold overnight for cure to work unless you used accelerator.

troys947 i put cure #1 in mine because I very slowly smoke and cook them and then freeze, but some don’t. I like the options of pan frying, microwave, baking, or grilling so cooking and smoking ahead of time allows me all those options.

I use no cure but go to the freezer right after stuffing. I then remove them and vac seal them after they are frozen.
