Back up in PA and my friend in PA makes some for me without the printing.
 
Man that looks good....  I can see no reason to use casings when you can use muslin....  
 
Nice Rick!  Those look unbelievable.  I have someone sewing me some bags right now also because we will be butchering pigs in early March and I will need them for the liver pudding! MMMMM..
 
I still have a few left.

My seamstress friend back up in PA makes them for me.

 
Rick,

Have you ever dried one of those down to like 50%?  Somewhere I have a recipe for Sweet Lebanon that uses Cure 2.  When you dry then slice it's kinda like Jerky.

Sweet lebnun with cure 2 would be like a rock chub. You would need humidity and temp control. The bags may dry to fast causing meat spoilage.

Here is some Sweet Lebnun i did with venison using cure 1 and beef middles. Took about 12 days




Here is my dry fridge. All the sausages here are with cure 2. Note the twine wrapping on the rear sausages, they are at 35% shirinkage

Awesome!  I have both a curing and dry cabinets.  Here is what I had in my drying cabinet last week


I keep the humidity about 2% lower than the meat that is drying.  The spalla cotta has been drying since before Columbus Day and is only down to 80.3%
