    First try at Canadian Bacon with questions

    Make some pea-meal bacon if you haven't smoked all the loins. Take a cured loin dry it off then roll it in corn meal . You are done, slice and fry, try it you will like it.

    Olive loaf

    I still get small voids, I only drain the olives add and mix by hand. I only used 1 12-oz jar in the recipe and its a little skimpy so I've changed the recipe to add 2 jars next time. Enjoy

    Liquid Fat Settling on Outside of Sausage

    I like the wrinkled look on snack stix too, beef fat melts at a lower temp than pork so your are correct to keep the temp a bit lower. What internal temp do you go to?

    I was going to post a picture of my garlic beds , but I get a weird error message ( AJAX response unable to be parsed as a valid JSON object )?  I like leaves because they are plentiful and free, they mat down nicely and don't break down too quick.

    Hardneck Garlic 1st variety, Zemo, harvested.. Now Metechi and Elephant... ALL DONE

    Sausage in smoker now

    Liquid Fat Settling on Outside of Sausage

    Smoking sausage takes time. I don't let my smoker get above 175F getting to an internal of 150 in a snack stick sized case takes 6-8 hrs, the larger the case the longer it will take. just sit back, have a beer and wait it out. We all had to learn that lesson.

    Sausage in smoker now

    be careful, store bought fresh sausage doesn't contain cure and shouldn't be smoked except at high temps. You could end up making your family sick or even dead.
