    Summer sausage in muslin bags.

    Should I use prague#1 or #2 for this recipe? I figure #1 if I'm gonna cook it in the smoker and #2 if it's only cold smoked and hung to cure?

    Summer sausage in muslin bags.

    Can you please explain if possible the difference between ready cure and instacure? I haven't been to wawa in over 15years so unfortunately, I can remember much...lol

    Summer sausage in muslin bags.

    Sorry about the late reply, been busy learning to brew beer. Yes I've been to Wawa but can't say I've seen this sausage there. I have however found it locally from the Amish at the farmers market during the summer and fall. It's a bit pricey, so I'm hoping to make my own.

    Smoking cheese

    I made a 4 pound bag of smoked almonds 2 weeks ago. Down to about 1/2 pound already. Can't help but throw a handful into my mouth everytime I walk by them. They're delicious

    Summer sausage in muslin bags.

    I just saw your post while messing around on the site. My cold room isn't very cold, only about 65°f. I added the cure #1 to prevent botulism and to give it that cured look and taste. The addition of ECA (encapsulated citric acid) is said to lower the pH enough to be shelf stable. But in my...

    Smoking cheese

    Interesting post. I had no idea that the cheese had to rest for such a time. Does this help with the strong smoke taste? I've tried a few times and didn't enjoy it. My cheese always sweats and tastes like ash. Should I wait for the outside to dry like meat smoking?

    Summer sausage in muslin bags.

    Haha. My wife thinks in crazy too. I couldn't reuse the muslin bag because i ended up cutting the bag down the side to ease removal. This wasn't necessary because it peeled right off after a couple days in the fridge. I'm sure you could wash it in water and baking soda and be good to...
