I got a call from a friend who took down two Does yesterday, and he is going to donate some Venison for my Thanksgiving feast. I'm planning on smoking it, and he's giving me the options of a Ham or a shoulder. which should I take? I'm completely clueless when it comes to Venison. Any other tips would also be appreciated.

Tell your friend you want a hind quarter (Ham)

I made a great venison soup last night... just like veggie beef and barley only I used venison stew meat instead. Wonderful. I can't wait until it's dinner time again.

Ground venison makes great chili.

Here is one of my favorite venison steak recipes:

1. Pat the steaks dry.
2. Immerse them in a bowl of sake and black pepper.
3. Marinate for around one hour.
4. Sear the steaks on both sides. Depending on the cut of steak, they may be ready to serve.
5. Reduce heat and finish cooking (if necessary).
6. Serve promptly.

An old seasoning trick for venison is to use juniper berries for seasoning as in a roast. Very "Renaissance" like eating at Henry the 8th's table. Has anyone tried to use venison in recipes other than northern European origins, perhaps as a substitute for lamb or goat in a curry?
