How to Make Corned Venison

  1. In a large non-reactive pot, combine 1 gallon water, 1 cup kosher salt, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup pickling spice, 6 bay leaves, 10 peppercorns, and 2 tablespoons of black peppercorns. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until salt and sugar dissolve.
  2. Remove from heat and let the brine cool completely to room temperature.
  3. Place venison roast (or goose breast, or a combination weighing approximately 3-4 lbs) in a large, non-metal container (such as a food-grade plastic container or a glass dish).
  4. Pour the cooled brine over the meat, ensuring it's fully submerged. Cover the container tightly and refrigerate for 4-5 days, turning or shaking the container once daily.
  5. After 4-5 days, remove the meat from the brine and rinse thoroughly under cold water.
  6. Place the rinsed meat in a large pot. Add enough fresh water to completely cover the meat. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
  7. During the last 30 minutes of cooking, add your desired vegetables for a hearty boiled dinner. (Suggested: 2 lbs potatoes, 1 lb carrots, 1 lb cabbage, all chopped).
  8. Remove the meat from the pot and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve with your boiled vegetables and enjoy!
