Need some advice. Im low on ECA for the pepperonisticks. Am I good to grind, mix seasoning and cure and let sit in fridge overnight and then stuff tomorrow morning when I get the ECA and smoke immediately?
Wow what a week it's been. Still recovering and dealing with this.
Wife did a good job finishing up. The pepperoni and cheese sticks are the first snack stick ive truly liked. Delicious. Kielbasa and summer sausage good as usual.
Also did 10lbs or brown sugar maple and 10lbs of country sausage...
Jam packed. Got the smoker tub set on the bottom and smoking we go.
Venison summer sausage on the Left (3 links jalapeño/cheddar and 3 links jalapeno/pepper jack/3 pepper)
In the middle is kielbasa links
On the R is pepperonisticks 3/4 has cheddar and pepeprjack.
Seem like this is becoming a annual thing for me. I have a bunch of venison to grind with some summer sausage to make.
About 10months ago I got pork shoulder for $0.59/lb. Stocked up quite a bit and thats what ill be using for my other sausage.
I normally make my own seasoning, although I...
pepperoni, polish, kubi, any kind. I do not have a grinder, but my wife does have a kitchen aid mixer if I be nice to her she may lend it to me after purchasing a grinder/stuffer attachment. BUT I have a jerky gun I have made breakfast sausage with before and they turned out descent. Just had to...
Is this the recipe and process? If so, I do have a conversion in my notes if that's helpful:
Per 1000g of meat (Half Beef Chuck, Half Pork Sirloin)
2.5g cure #1
15g salt
1g pepper
1g white pepper
2.5g mustard seed whole
0.5g fennel seed
2g red pepper flakes
1g garlic powder
1g sugar
3g paprika...
Dried cherry and cranberry. I used kinders all purpose rub and Weber bbq rub along with more salt and pink cure number 1. U can put a ton of peppers and seasoning in snack sticks. 1 pound jalapeño per 10 pounds of pepperoni is a mild heat. And I put the seeds in. Grinded twice with the 10mm plate.
I am planing on making venison pepperonisticks and my recipe calls for non fat dry milk which I don't have. I have fermento, citric acid, soy protein concentrate but not dry milk powder. Can I just substitute milk instead of the water?
For what it's worth, I think you can achieve something delicious and very pepperoni-like without fermentation. That's primarily what I do with my snack sticks. So I wouldn't let fermentation dissuade you from this awesome idea!
Definitely agree with sous vide at that diameter. I'd probably...
Yup . I don't cover SS chubs . Let it hang at room temp for an hour or so before going into the smoker . Starts the warm up .
Yes . This started after I was storing chubs in a ziplock bag . Outside was getting sticking after just a week . Local meat cutter told me to store it in paper . I had...
When I make BGKY's pepperoni snack sticks I wrap them in UNCOATED butchers paper and leave them in the fridge for a week or so. They dry out really nicely. It's a tip I picked up here after surfing the boards a bunch regarding packaging. I can't recall which one of these fine members provided...
Looks Great.
I like to change up my pepperonisticks and add some rehydrated onion, parmesan cheese and some dry tomato soup tot he mix and make pizza sticks. Sooooo good too.
I did use a few pounds of pork shoulder, rubs I used, really liked the kc bbq and the kinders on the far left, brisket at the bottom and 2 pork belly’s for future pepperoni and pork shoulder at the top. Boneless. I’m not the best at taking the bone out. Got it for a steal too. 1.79 a pound...
