[Johnnybear]

Ok I've been scanning through the regs and I can't find anything that states you must take the fur????? Correct me if I'm wrong.

You are correct. You can't eat it anyways.

Great thread NH. Lots of great idea's and I really liked the intro.

So, I'm thinking about making some bear sausage. This would be my first crack at making sausage. I don't think it's going to be too difficult, but I'm wondering if bear would have a high enough fat content on it's own, or would I need to add some extra pork fat?

I would go 70/30 and i would wait till superstore or something of the like has pork butt or shoulder for cheap (uner 99 cents a pound) go buy a few mix it up and have at er!

I usually use ground pork and add it for the extra fat

okay y'all here are 3 new bear recipes. a little unconventional but soooooooooooooo tasty.....

BEAR AND BROCCOLI

1 ½ lbs bear meat, cubed
2 c. strong coffee
¼ c. sugar
2 Tbsp. peanut oil
1/3 c. shallots, sliced thinly
4 cloves garlic
1 Tbsp. ginger, minced or pureed
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
2 c. broccoli, steamed

Marinate bear in coffee and sugar overnight. In a large wok or skillet, heat the peanut oil, sauté the shallots and garlic 3-4 minutes, add cubed bear meat, browning thoroughly, add ginger and continue sautéing, add remaining ingredients, turn heat to medium low, cook 20-30 minutes or until meat is tender, in a separate pot, steam broccoli then add just before serving. Serve with rice or pasta. I make green tea pasta but any of your favourite pasta noodles will be wonderful.

SMOKEY MAPLE BEAR SAUSAGE

2 lbs. bear meat, ground
1 lb. bacon, ground
1 Tbsp. maple flavouring, extract
2 Tbsp. red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tsp. poultry seasoning
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. coriander
½ tsp. liquid smoke (optional)

Chop bacon into 1” pieces and grind the above ingredients in a grinder until thoroughly mixed and blended, shape into desired size patties, fry in a skillet with a small amount olive oil. (be sure meat thermometer reads 165) Bear should be cooked right through. Make some yummy buttermilk pancakes and scramble some eggs and divine breakfast is made.


CEDAR PLANKED BEAR KABOBS

2 lbs. bear meat, cubed
Marinade:
½ c. soy sauce
¼ c. olive oil
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. fresh ginger, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. pepper
Juice and zest from 1 lime
Olive or canola oil for basting

Mix all marinade ingredients together, pour into a zip lock back add bear meat, marinade overnight.

Prepare cedar plank: soak in water 1 hour to 24 hours, preheat plank on grill at medium heat for 5 minutes, brush cooking side of plank lightly with oil

Take wooden skewers which have been soaked in water as well (to prevent burning) thread meat cubes onto skewers. Brush meat lightly with oil, grill 15-20 minutes. Serve with wedges of lime.
