Title: Ring Bologna
Post by: Sam3 on December 15, 2012, 01:34:34 PM
I'm using Kevin's recipe again but stuffing these into beef rounds. This is a first for me. 3 hours of Pecan. I'll let the pics tell the story.
Thanks for looking.

Sam3, Do you ever have issues with the thermometer that is stuck in the bologna coming in contact with the warm water giving you false warmer temps?  I have always wondered about that.  Maybe your answer will put my mind at ease.

Thanks

Not really. Being the actual sensor is located on the tip of the probe, it was right in the middle of the bologna. I also used my Thermapen to check temps on the pieces that were not submerged. Same reading.
I took these to 156 before the ice bath.

Looks good Sam. Please let us know how the pickled sausage turns out. I tried it once and the pickle brine I found was not very good. I need a better recipe.

Kirby,
The one on the left is something I found on google. It's a pretty popular recipe.

1.5 cup white vinegar

.75 cup water

1/4 tsp cayenne

1  Tbs crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp sugar
Heat ingredients until hot, let cool. Pour mixture over Bologna. Refrigerate.

The other is a NEPAS recipe, I believe he posted it on here once already. Much more aggresive with vinegar and heat.

I didn't use as much Cayenne. Only one teaspoon, just for starters.  ;)

How long do you let them set before they are ready to eat? We are going to need a report when they are done.

Heres a good recipe I use for hot pickled eggs! I would think this would be great too if you'd like to try Sam.

Spiced eggs

Cook and peel 2 doz, eggs put in jar
Take 1 cup vinegar
         1 cup of water
          3 TBS of sugar
         1 TBS of salt bring this to a boil.
  Add 1 jar hot yellow banana peppers over

eggs than add vinegar mix. Let set 1-2 weeks

if your able.

        If you like it hotter you can add other

peppers to taste.

Do you let the brine cool before pouring over the eggs or let it go in hot?

Yep grew up eaten pickle meats. Including pig snouts, brains and feet. Hmmmmm! got to love pickled meat. It also serves as a great preservative when done right!
