Mild slim jims. 5lbs

5lbs 80/20 gb

1 level tsp cure 1

2 T salt  (you can taste and add more if needed)

1.5 tsp white pepper

1.5 tsp ground nutmeg

1.5 tsp celery seed

1.5 tsp garlic granules

1/2 T cayenne (opt)

1/4 cup fermento or Sako buttermilk powder

1/2 cup cold distilled water.

Mix all above into the meat. If using a mixer, mix for about 3-4 mins. Taste test for any adjustments to salt or other. Most test fry but i dont, i taste raw.

If the mix tastes good stuff into 19-20mm collagen or sheep casings, smoke your normal way.

Note: You can add other seasonings if you like. I have added 2 T of Allegro smoke marinade to this with a great taste.

Just a note: If you use fermento or sako skip the binder like SPC, nfpdm, carrot binder

Nepas, thank you for sharing your recipe!     I am going to give this a shot.

Got it mixed up, bagged and going in fridge overnight (no time for stuffing, smoking right now)

The carrot binder has no smell or taste (SPC has none either)

Schnapps time

 

[BGKYSmoker]

I'm way to lazy to tie all these so they are getting a twist.

This batch is the carrot binder on. 1st time for me using so we will see.

I also take it you can use ECA in place of the fermento/buttermilk for the twang (with the usual handling requirements for ECA usage).

Yeah that would work.
