    First Summer Sausage

    Yeah it was only the casing wrinkled. May have been the water. The meat shrunk away from the casings but was fine. I'll try less water next time. Thanks all.

    First Summer Sausage

    I.T was 160. Then I put in ice bath, then hung to bloom for several hours. The casing all looked fine at that point. It was when I took them out of the refrigerator the next day that I noticed the wrinkling. I was following Len Poli's recipe for the most part.

    Fassett's Breakfast sausage....Smoked??

    Using POP's breakfast sausage recipe, how much CURE #1 would I add to the mix if I wanted to smoke the sausage? Anybody try this? This would be for a cold smoke, just to add the flavor and color. Thanks

    Pops6927's Wet Curing Brine

    When making a brine when should the pink salt (cure #1 ) be added? I've heard that you should not add the cure to hot/boing/simmering water? Does it matter? Thanks

    Piggy! To be continued!

    Most people will never know just how good pork can be. Wild pork is soooo much better than the stuff we find in the local markets. That loin looks great !! I smoked/slow cooked ( on my kamoto cooker ) a hind qtr. for thanksgiving that everyone liked. Keep the updates coming.
