For a deeper, more complex flavor, consider adding a bay leaf or a few juniper berries to the brine.
If you prefer a less salty flavor, soak the corned venison in fresh water for a few hours before cooking, changing the water periodically.
Corned venison is excellent served with boiled potatoes, cabbage, and carrots for a traditional hearty meal.
Leftover corned venison makes fantastic Reuben sandwiches or can be shredded and used in tacos or salads.
