Not seasoning by any chance is it?

I think it has something to do with nitrate burn . Not sure im saying it right .

Is it all throughout the sausage ? or just that one piece ? By any chance use fresh jalapeno (something green) ?

 

[pagraybeard]

It shows up after a few hours when cut. Only thing was powdered dextrose.its a recipe i used from the web. Seams pretty standard mustard powder, coriander, celery, cup of pwdered milk non fot for binder,podwer dextrose, garlic powder, cup of water, instacure (1tsp)

I kinda agree after reading the article. How do I avoid this in the future. Leave out the dextrose or use tender quik ??

I have cured alot of meat and sausage.  Never had " burn "

Not sure thats it.

I'm not sure it is either . I had it happen one time . It was in summer sausage that had cheese in it . Only did it around the cheese . 

Just throwing it out there . Same as above the " slice "  was good . but if it sat awhile  it turned greenish brown .

Yep. It's all near the cheese.ive made snack sticks with cheese in them and not had this happen. Looking over my recipes this is the only one I have that calls for powder dextrose. Could it be a reaction between the powder dextrose and instacure #1?

Well, I have some hi temp cheese and am out of sticks.  

Time to try it, never used cheese before.

That why I posted .  These guys know WAY more than me .  So I was just saying what I thought my trouble was .    I had a pic of the slice . If I find it I can post it .

Well I think I'm gonna toss this batch. Maybe try a different recipe and see what happens.thanks for the help

PM NEPAS or Boykjo and ask them to come read the thread... they will know what it is ...

Thats not burn. Cure does not generate heat. (unless your making bombs) HAHAHA

Looks like something in the mix that did not mix in well.

 

[pagraybeard]

Well im stumped. Gonna try a different recipe. Thanks for the input. Ill post up some pics when i do my next batch
