This is a very quaint video I found on youtube of an elderly family tradition making salami 'the old way'. If you're Italian-you'll get it....enjoy!
Ray,I loved it! Brought me back to my childhood when my Noni was teaching my Irish mama how to cook Italian. I cook a lot of Italian, all of it learned from my Mama. Noni was a unbelievable cook and a pretty darned good teacher. I paid attention in Mama's kitchen, of course I was her favorite. My sisters got married and moved out, their husbands suffer, now they come to me for advice and recipes. RAY
Yes, would have been nice to see what they did with the chubs, after they put them in a box?And where is Part 2? Now that you hooked me I want to see Part 2!
Ray, isn't it nice to be to be wanted!! Keep being helpful my friend. I'm sure they appreciate you. . . I know I do!

They more than likely hung them in a cellar or closet, nothing fancy.Yes, would have been nice to see what they did with the chubs, after they put them in a box?
The Salt comes out to 2.75%... The pepper paste works out to 3.5%. I have a jar of pepper paste and a 1qt. jar holds about a kilo. Have not done the red pepper yet, but it's 6 heaping TBSPS. per 60#, or 1 per 10#.This is how my family made sausage, none of these grams of this or that, it was handfuls or palmfuls, or jars full types of measurements.
wasn't it a pound of salt to 60 pounds? I figured it to 1.67%, but yours sounds much safer!The Salt comes out to 2.75%.
...a box of salt...1# 10oz. or 737grams...Thanks for sharing that vid IDS, like others it brings back memories.
