I'm always looking for good people to come to work in the Maintenance group! But, NM to Denton, TX would be quite a haul.

They earn every bit and more. Great guys!

The dextrose I'm used to is sugar. It's used for fermentation assistance and to off set some acidicness.

The NFDM is for moisture retention. Now, I may be thinking of something different.

CB,

Sorry I had a Head Fade I Meant Soy Protein not Dextrose. it should be a straight exchange???

also, you say grind the onion....Cuisinart?? shredded?? or chopped very very fine?? in looking at the picture I would guess it must have been like a slurry/mush texture?

Thanks,

Tom

I haven't used soy protein, but I know others have. I'm not much help there.

I run the onions through the meat grinder while grinding the meat. A food processor will work fine. I just don't want chunks of onion in this sausage.

Let me know if you try it!

CB,

I will. when I get back from this next trip I will be making sticks so it will be the perfect time to add one more batch especially when one of Mrs OS's favorite food groups is chile cheese anything!! I might end up with an atta boy 

then you would be due one...You Got To Love the Trickle effect.

 

Thanks,
