Ok, I soaked it over night and the saltiness was gone, sigh of relief. I let it sit in the pot till I got home tonight and more cure was released. I did another salt test with the boss tonight and it passed thank God, as she will be taking it for sammies. She even said yum, I said it isn't even smoked yet, wait till she tastes the pepper.
I rubbed it with Paprika and Cayenne. I used more Cayenne on this roast from the bottle than I have used in several years, yikes!
It started out at 45' and is now up to 56' as I type. I am trying to follow Rytecks recipe as best I can, because I didn't have any thing to stuff it in. It is now in the drying out process for 3 hours though I may change that without a casing.
My first biggest fear was the cure as I was using Tender Quick and not his recipe. The next was saltiness, I hope I am over that. The last was not having a casing to stuff it in. I fear at certain places is will come out in pieces instead of nice slices. I say oh, well, if it tastes good I will buy some for the next one.
I like doing these experiments as it helps me grow, and if I can pass something along and help other members grow, that's an extra bonus for me.
As always thanks for watching the show, and wish me luck!!
