5 pounds of pork loin cut into 1 inch cubes then mix 1 TBS per pound each of Mortons Tenderquick and White Sugar. Fridge for 3 days then grind through medium plate then grind again through fine plate.

Do you get good smoke penetration with fibrous casings? Yep but the food grade ink, Not So Much!

Really looks nice.

Are you using 100% loin and no fat?

I don't have the tenderquick and have not used it before.

Can I substitute #2 cure and???? for it

Thanks

NO! You can't use cure #2.  You can use cure #1 but certainly not a TBS for 5 lbs of ground pork.
