Now this is one thread I'm gonna be watching very closely. Joe you have my respect in the sausage making world and the last time I was in New York I went to a smoke house that is the oldest in Staten Island and they had the BEST salami that I have ever eaten. If there is anyone that could make salsmi like them I believe it is YOU. So you make and give me the recipe and then I'll be able to make for myself. I have the untmost faith in you.

Very nice Joe

I've made the same thing (close to ingredints) I put in some fennel, mustard seeds, ect.

but just made into loaves and smoked

THESE are really good can't wait for the pics,

Good luck on your smoke

 

[boykjo]

Two day double cure is over so I stuffed them in fibrous casings. Cut them in half to make them smaller and so they dont hang down by the burner......

The little water I used in the mix to distribute the seasonings had evaporated and the meat had become very stiff. I am not adding water to the meat to make it softer to push through, just my preference....

stuffer packed and ready to go....  Get try my Stainless steel stuffing tube I made for the first time

All stuffed. Looks like I have just a little over 10 lbs. I started out with 9.6 lbs I'll weigh them after the smoke

Fired up the AMNPS  with hickory and Into the smoker for a two hr smoke with no heat then I'll fire it up and start about 130. Thats about as low as I can go in cold temperatures

I would like to give a big thanks to Todd Johnson. I ordered some dust for my amns and when I opened the box there was a AMNPS with two 5 lb bags of pellets with my order. What a great surprise christmas gift....... Once again Todd is top shelf..........

So I guess they will be ready late tonight. Man I havent made salami in years..... Not used to the chubs and the longer smoking time

See you soon

Oh. the pics were from my phone. The wife went to ohio for the week

and took the camera...... better than no pics I guess

Looking good Joe!

 

[driedstick]

LOOKS REALLY GOOD, so without adding water was it hard to stuff, what size homemade tube did you use?? Thanks

 

[big casino]

looking goof so far! can't wait to see it done!

 

[scarbelly]

Looking good Joe 

 

[raptor700]

Great job Joe 

Looking forward to the finale  

 

[boykjo]

Well here they are all smoked up and out of the fridge overnight

sliced up

Ok... so what about taste. I called this salami (From the recipe given to me) but I would tend to call it a Summer Sausage salami. It seems to be right in the middle of the two flavors....

I would like a little more tang.

I must say this stuff is pretty good.........

Thanx for looking

Joe
