    Can you cure too long before making?

    I only have 2 tsp of Insta Cure #1 on the 1 inch cubes as I season after I grind. Is that an issue?

    Can you cure too long before making?

    Going for my second batch of Jalapeño/Cheddar. I was hoping to make during the week but life got in the way. I have had my beef and pork cubed with insta cure #1 in freezer bags in the fridge for 4 days. Is that okay? How long can I realistically delay?

    Salame Calabrese with Cannabis

    270mg of THC in 650 grams of salami??? Holy crap. They way I eat I would be indacoucha for a week. Better for me to keep my medicine out of my food.

    Newbies 1st attempt at Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage

    Thanks nlife, great idea and also thanks for providing the link to Boykjo's casing thread! Since almost all of this batch went to the kids and for New Years gifts I will be making this again soon. I want to only make a few tweaks to this recipe before moving on. A great tip and yes, it looks...

    Newbies 1st attempt at Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage

    That's funny SmokinEdge, I bought a giant block of extra sharp Tillamook at Costco but wasn't sure that it wouldn't pool up or ooze out. It ended up on a New Years Eve Charcuterie tray.I would much prefer the sharp taste of good cheddar than the High Temp so next time I will use for sure as...

    Newbies 1st attempt at Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage

    A Very Happy Ending and a great start to the New Year. You guys are Awesome. Thanks so much as I've learned so much in just my first post. To finish the batch I took them out of the fridge this morning, dried them off and put a fan on them for 30 min. Put them back on the Treager at...

    Newbies 1st attempt at Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage

    Thanks SmokinEdge. I don't see how to turn on the fan on my 780. I don't think the smoke is getting stale as the chimney is just pouring out so I believe there is a good draft. Have 2 tubes going and they are burning much faster than when I use them for brisket and Treager is running. I am...

    Newbies 1st attempt at Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage

    Excellent feedback guys, Thanks. I soaked my hog casings for 30 min. then flushed the insides twice. I did not keep them in water though while stuffing. Will take your advice next time SmokinEdge. I don't get a temp reading on my Treager without turning on but my thermapen reads 71 degrees...

    Appreciate you all and the info i've gained while lurking around. Jleanard says you all like show and tell so I'll include some pics. Haven't made sausage in a long time as stuff happens, my kitchen aid took a dump and was a pain anyway. This is my first attempt at Jalapeño Cheddar and only...
