I think I messed up. I ground up basically a whole doe, minus the backstraps, to make snack sticks etc. I already mixed with some pork and froze. Now I'm thinking about it, once I defrost the meat and make my sticks, i can only refrigerate correct? I have a vaccuum sealer and was hoping on making 10lbs, leave a few in fridge and freeze rest but I forgot you shouldn't refreeze the meat. Am I correct in this? If I vacuum seal some, how long should they last in the fridge? they will be prepared in an oven, not smoker if that matters. I have the LEM seasoning and cure. Thanks for any advice. Im thinking next time I'll have to grind and make, then freeze.
