    Pepperoni Recipe For You

    Well, that would explain all those salamis and cheeses hanging up in the Italian deli I used to frequent years ago. No refrigeration and doesn't spoil. Bear with me. Im still muddling thru the finer points of meat processing. Even after reading it a dozen times, occasionally I need someone drill...

    Well I do thank ya kindly for the welcome but I'll tell ya, I ain't exactly a spring chicken myself. Much like an old car, as soon as I hit 70 things started falling apart. Things that nobody carries parts for anymore.... 👍

    In Search of Venison Sausage Ideas

    Rytek's book on page 283. Venison country sausage. Excellent flavor, great breakfast sausage and really tasty with yellow mustard. I'm not much of a hunter but my neighbors down the road from me harvest quite a few deer that are nuisance deer damaging farm crops. I just finished 30 lbs of it. I...

    Pepperoni Recipe For You

    I've looked at that unit and although a nice machine I think it'll be a bit on the small side. It's not uncommon to run 15-18 lbs of summer sausage or up to 15 lbs of pepperoni. By the time family gets their share, me and the dogs, a couple friends and neighbors, I end up with enough to last a...

    Pepperoni Recipe For You

    Solid advice. I've considered buying a factory built cabinet, too. Until I look at the price of them. I have a real nice upright, single door freezer in the house but I have a feeling the lil woman might have something to say about me dragging it out to the shop....

    Pepperoni Recipe For You

    Another example. By the way, I prefer using hog casings since they shrink with the meat. It comes out good but not great hence, why I'm here to start Intel gathering on making a drying cabinet/ chamber.

    Pepperoni Recipe For You

    Allow me to elaborate a bit since I posted that last mess accidentally when my pain in the butt dog bumped my arm. Typically, I'll make a batch of pepperoni using Victor's method however, I'll use F-LC and ferment for 25 hours at 85-90° and 90% humidity. After that, in the smoker using more...

    Pepperoni Recipe For You

    Reckon I need to put my face back in Marianski's book and re-read (for the 4th time) the sections on use of cultures.

    Looks like we be neighbors. I'm on county road 152, not to far from 41. Go down a few miles and make a left at the swamp. The wife's daughter and son in law are right near the Suwannee music park.

    Sorry to hear about your loss. My first house I bought in 1982 was in Palm Bay. Back then it was a quiet little town and the south east side where I was had more vacant land than houses. Just a quiet little 'ol redneck town back then. Last info I got on the old neighborhood is it's rapidly...

    Thanks for the welcome! I grew up on Long Island, ny. A little town called west Babylon. Left in '78 or '79 - whatever year the blizzard was. I do miss the mountains especially during autumn.

    That's why we're here in Hamilton county. We didn't want to leave Florida but we're tired of city life, crime, tourists, the list goes on. Hamilton county: population approx. 14,000 inside of 520 sq. mi. It's also the poorest county in Florida since there's only small businesses and no industry...

    Pepperoni Recipe For You

    I'm going to give your recipe the 'ol college try. I've been using Victor's Taste of Artisan pepperoni recipe with a couple variations. You mention LHP. Any reason why F-LC wouldn't work?

    Mr. JLeonard, thank you for the welcome. I attempted to quote your post about 15 times but my phone isn't being very cooperative. Either it doesn't like you or it's trying to give me an ulcer. Maybe I need to threaten it with violence....

    Thank ya kindly, Mr. W. I like that word "enable". I've been reading the posts here for several months and I've determined this is not a good place if you have an addictive personality for sausage making and meat processing. 😝

    Thanks for the welcome. And I never for one moment thought I'd have more time for projects now that I'm retired. I have more time to FIND and CREATE more projects. Finishing them is a whole 'nother story. Sometimes I feel like the hurrier I go, the behinder I get.....

    Hello David. I've used several of his recipes but I noticed they follow Marianski's recipes closely. A couple of my favorites is the summer sausage and pepperoni although I've made up a pretty tasty variation on the pepperoni recipe. I've followed a few of your procedures as well. At this time...
