    Who has a great Italian Sauage Spice mix? Care to Share it?

    For starters, what does your vision tell you it should taste like and what's lacking in the spice mixes you've tried? Just throwing recipes at the wall and seeing which one sticks is fun and all, but you're gonna end up trying a whole lotta sausage which may or may not be what you're looking...

    Umai Dry Curing question

    I have a concern.. I have one stick that seems soft. The others are hard now. The hard ones have lost 30 percent of their weight. The soft one about 20 percent. Is that unusual? Is this safe? DDR

    Umai Dry Curing question

    Thanks to you both. Yes I weighed  the salami before we put it in the fridge. It is about 10 percent less weight now. I used a recipe off from the umai site for the mix. Thanks for the heads up. That's a relief. We will show progress as it goes. Thanks a bunch. DDR

    Umai Dry Curing question

    Last week we did pep and soppa. On some of the links the meat has pulled away from the umai skins. On others it has stuck to the meat. Does this make any difference as for saftey, and the end results flavor wise?  How can I get the meat to stick to the skins better? They were in the tubes...
