    2020 Garlic

    Here is the garlic hanging in my basement for the next couple of weeks to dry. After some sharing, about 80 heads remain. Check out the size of the elephant garlic! I set a golf ball next to it for perspective.

    2020 Garlic

    If only it were legal in the 'burbs. My son hunts in Michigan and I make a lot of summer sausage from the venison. The ones that trudge through my property don't seem fazed when I hold up a summer sausage chub of their cousin!!!!

    2020 Garlic

    Since we moved to our current home a couple of years ago, the only thing the deer won't eat is garlic. So, here is this year's crop, 90 plants strong and looking healthy. Harvesting and drying should start in a few weeks. So far, so good!

    Shipping Cured Meats

    Thanks to all who weighed in here! I appreciate all of the insight and experience!!! I think I have 2 options: 1. Send it properly packaged within food safety standards, or 2. Make my son wait until his next visit home!!!

    Rings and Chubs

    Yes, they peel very easily. I keep them on while they're vac sealed and frozen as they have some of the smokiness in them and I want to keep as much of that flavor as possible. Once thawed, they peel off without a problem.

    Shipping Cured Meats

    I'd like to send meat sticks to my son in Denver from my home in Ohio. The meats are cured, smoked, fully cooked and vac sealed. Would they be safe to send as is or do I need to send them packaged w dry ice? Thanks!

    Stay at Home and Smoke

    We only call it bologna because it's stuffed in the rings. They're actually made with ground Canadian bacon and high temp cheddar.

    Venison Ham - Instant Pot

    I'm currently curing several venison roasts using Pop's Brine and I plan to cook one of them in the Instant pot with the hope that it will come out like a ham. Any Instant Pot users who would have an idea of how long I should put the meat in the IP for? Thank you!

    Corned beef brine

    Thanks Al.. Followed the recipe, yes, but I did use TQ instead of #1, at a rate of 1 TBSP per pound. So, should be all good. Thanks again!

    Corned beef brine

    Al, I'm trying this dry brine and noticed that there is not a lot of moisture coming from the brisket, unlike a pork loin or belly bacon, for example. Does that seem right to you? Thank you!
