Yesterday I ground up and mixed 6.4lbs of vension, 3.2 lbs of lean pork and 1lb of pork fat. I mixed that all up then made 5lbs of pepperonni and a 3lb slab of bacon.
For the pepperonni I thought I would try without casings kind of like Bear use to do his bear logs so I rolled them in saran wrap and fridged over night. The bacon I pressed into a square pan lined with wax paper.
This morning I took it out covered it with Maple sryup and lots of fresh ground black pepper. Then I fired up my MES and AMAZPS and got started. Sorry no previous pics (wife had the camera) But here is one after about an hour and a half @130 with hickory smoke.
