I found another pepperoni recipe in my card file box tonight.
It smells more like Mama's pepperoni. Now I'm wondering where I got the last recipe from? Oh well I just ground and mixed up 12 pounds of pepperoni meat I'll stuff it later - 4am I'm beat! I'll grab some pictures later.
Cooked Pepperoni
6 lbs fatty pork
6 lbs lean beef
10 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons prague powder #1
mix meat, salt and cure until sticky
------------------------------------------
Grind spices to a fine powder
1/2 cup powdered milk
4 tablespoons corn sugar
6 teaspoons Hot paprika
1 teaspoons mustard seeds
8 teaspoons anise seeds
10 teaspoons cayenne peper
3 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
2 tablespoons red wine (optional)
Use 1-1/2" casings
----------------------------
Cook in the oven at 185o - 190o internal temperature of 150o (about 3 hours). cool
-----------------------------
Dip pepperoni in boiling water for 20 seconds to shrink casings, remove and allow to cool to room temperature. Refridgerate at least 2 hours before eatting or smoking! Do not smoke before it is baked and chilled or it sucks the smoke like reminants from yesterdays house fire!
Refrigerate several hours before use.
