Two weeks in and down 25% already. Definitely firming up! One question though is while some chubs are tight to their casings others are pulled away. Guess it doesn't make any difference but I'm not sure why that would be. Here's what I'm talking about: They were stuffed at the same time and...
Decided to go with UMAi's Salame Finocchiona recipe since I had everything on hand. I know this UMAi technology works, because Rick Nepas gave me some UMAi sausage he made when I visited in Florida, and it was a knockout. Now, can I duplicate that?
