Sweet Lebanon bologna

[pc farmer]

With help from NEPAS got some meat mixed up.

5 lb beef .



Seasoning.



Used cultured buttermilk in place of water. Used maybe a 1/4 cup.

Everything mixed.



Covered and in the fridge till tomorrow afternoon.



Think I am gonna use muslin bags for my first time.

Thanks.   I am at 131 IT.   Thought about finishing in water but decided against it    Never done it before.  Might be a long night.

If your going to hot water the chubs, put them in a gallon or 2 gallon zip lock.

Good evening, I was wondering where you get you seasoning mix at or is it a family recipe. We can not get the sweet Lebanon bologna in north western WI.
My grand parents use to send us a chub for Christmas. But they are no longer with us. I would like to try to make some if I can find a recipe.
Looks great

PABEEF
