    BBQ Sauce Canning - For Resale

    What about on an even smaller scale? Pint sized mason jars and a pressure canner maybe? This will start off as a family/friends thing at first and if that works out then of course I'd escalate production methods.

    cured salami question?

    Thanks for taking the time to reply. 75 deg in my garage today so thats out... I was hoping for maybe a modified technique or method to use here but looks like it is just not meant to be.

    cilantro - corriander

    frest cilantro year round... pack your blender full of fresh cilantro (or any fresh herb for that matter) add just enough water to let blender work. liquify. pour into ice cube trays and freeze. put ice cubes into ziplock bags, keep in freezer, use as needed.

    Should I keep the skin on?

    if its just the fat cap i'd trim it some and save for other cooking uses. if its the actual hide i say cut it off, cut it up, and make chicharones with it. i dont see a butcher trimming the hide from a full shoulder tho.
