I am soooooo tired. LOL Lets start with the cajun sausage!
I had to do these, my last batch I tried something different. I double ground the butt and my sausage is more like a tuff bologna. So I'll give that stuff away and made some more. You see that second or bottom row sticking out there don'tcha. They were made and set in the reefer overnight.
About noon I filled an adjustable oval with corn cob and apple and in they go.
After a dewater cycle which I do with all cured meats, I added the temp probe and the lite oval. It w as then I noticed the remote control no longer worked. I could control the box temp outside at the box but the remote I could enter into but it wouldn't shake hand with the unit.
It was a fully extended full oval and you can see the above its about half way for this picture.
We are at the end..... Cranked it and finished the sausages in the smokers for a change.
Nice! The finished product. I changed the size this time of the links hoping to better accommodate packaging them in the vac-sealer. Looking forward to packaging to see if it works.
Then there is the breakfast links (when I was a kid we knew it was special when we got links instead of patties, so I am partial to 'em)
These are really easy to do, my very first time I hated it, now I laugh at hope ignorant I was. I packaged these 6 to apack , got 8 packs and all I ate...>LOL
I could so a commercial! Look at those babies plump right up and they smell so good!
So I had Breakfast sausage and cold biscuits for lunch today. It wasn't ready for breakfast.
Breakfast you say?
Well I had some fat cap with a little meat left over from 2 weeks ago when I made sausage and andouille so I brine cured it. Passable for bacon and a dang site better than Smithfields. I'll probably just chop it up for seasoning like for red beans where ya just can't have too much grease...>LOL
Note that is just the 6" I think, its a sawdust tube. I still use pellets in it.
It was homemade biscuits, homemade raspberry jelly and homemade bacon for breakfast. ya know, maybe I need to make some butter, never did it, but grandma did.....LOL
Above is what was left over after breakfast.
Now this was my supper. But let me explain, this is all because of Bear! I never ate raspberries, they had no juice and little flavor. After I quit even trying raspberries, Bear brought out his pretty bride's concoction, Bear never steered me wrong before and I found out that they had developed a HUGE berry industry in Miss. (right next door). So the berries are not only better now but cheaper also. I made a bunch of jelly! Anyway Here's my supper.
Know what it is? The above is the scraps and leftovers so you need not ruin a freshly baked cake! I thought about this at breakfast when I had raspberry jelly. The below is a french vanilla cake w/ raspberry frosting. I gotta tell you it was so good I ate the entire above bowl and put the cardiologist on standby......LOL
So this was all done yesterday and today. AND I did it all on a cripple smoker.
I wonder what to do tomorrow been thinking about soft pretzels and grilled chicken maybe, or its turned back off cool maybe a nice chicken and andouille filet gumbo with that andouille I made week before last. <shrugs> Who know what tomorrow will bring.
PS ROFLMAO you realize how many posts it would have taken to do all this separately?
