I didn't check out their other products yet, I was out looking for a venison smoked stick recipe...

They also have a good conversion chart on the last page for metric weights to english.

Only The Best Sausage and

Snack Stick Recipe
Hi all,

I was asked to share a snack stick recipe that I use so here it is. Please bear in mind that this is still in the developement stage. I get a lot of requests for the sticks from friends and family but I haven't figured out if it's because they're really good or because they're free.

All amounts are per lb of meat:

1/2 TBS Tender Quick
1 TBS of Powdered Milk
1/8 Cup of Dark Brown Suger
1/8 Cup of Worchestershire Sauce
1/4 Cup of Soy Sauce
1/4 TSP Dry Mustard
1/4 TSP of Black Pepper
1/4 TSP of Liquid Smoke

I usually smoke these at 175 for about an hour and then kick the temp up to 200 until the internal temp of the sticks reach 165. I have tried using cherry and apple but we prefer hickory along with 3 or 4 briquets of Kingsford charcoal in the wood box. ( I use a GOSMS and we like the flavor of charcoal).

As you can see this is a simple basic recipe, nothing special at this point but the sticks are good. I was having a problem with the sticks being really dry after smoking but I think I've got a handle on that with the addition of the powdered milk. I also found that if I allow the sticks to cool for about an hour and then put them in zip lock bags and into the refrigerator there is condensation and a lot of the moisture and flavor is retained. They are much better after 3 or 4 days but who can wait that long.
I know there is always room for improvement and there is real talent in this forum so if anyone has any suggestions or tips I'd really appreciate hearing them.

Have a good one.
Mike

I'm pretty sure this is from the forum.

Good one Shell! Lots of good recipes there. I've tried quite a few over the years and they are usually very good!

Terry - what's a flavor binder 86 hon? Is it a starter culture?

 

[bigarm's smokin]

I don't know sweetie, I just posted the recipe that I had. I was hoping you would see that, and tell me? I was guessing, something like powdered milk? I will Call Eldon's shop tommorrow and see what they know.

 

[deejaydebi]

Maybe it's some packaged thing they sell. Only thing that looks missing is maybe powdered milk / butter milk solids or maybe they use soy protein, but they called it FLAVOR binder so I'd go with half butter milk half powdered milk if I was guessing.

I might try it and just replace the water with butermilk and add the mystery stuff as powdered milk. Should work.

 

[shellbellc]

I was wondering what that was also, thanks Deb!!

Terry, is this right?
All amounts are per lb of meat:

1/2 TBS Tender Quick

That seems like a lot of TQ per pound??

[cowgirl]

I can't speak for Terry, but I bet that amount is right Jimbo. The morton's recipe for canadian bacon calls for 1TBS Tender Quick per pound of meat, also their recipe for Gepockelte (cured pork chops) calls for the same.


Here's a link to their site...they have some good recipes.

Deud,
I cut my own chops and I like to brine them...I'm not sure how they do the store bought ones, but I start with a brine of 8 cups of water, 1/4 cup of kosher salt and 1/2 cup of sugar.
Then I tweak in any other spices I feel like....garlic and cracked black pepper are some of my favorites.
I brine overnight then smoke.
I do not know if these are like store bought ones though.....I raise my own pork.

 

[navionjim]

That does it cowgirl, if your not married then by god I'd mary you in a heartbeat sight unseen. You rock!
