Has anyone ever tried making lebonon bologna?
IIRC, there is a recipe for Lebanon, Bologna in Rytek Kutas' book. It is more darkly flavored because it is smoked for an extra-long period of time. IIRC, it is called Lebanon because it originated with the Pennsylvania Dutch in Lebanon, Pennsylvania.
I've seen that recipe.
It does take a long time, 50................yes 50 hours.
I would hate to make something that takes so long and then find out it tastes like crap.
It shows:
16 hrs at 90 degrees @ 90% humidity
28 hrs at 105 degrees @ 85% humidity
6 hrs at 110 degrees @ 85% humidity
I am afraid it is way above my bottom rung experience level.
have any of you experienced smokers ever made any ?
And then there is sweet lebonon bologna
nepas
been to the original smokehouse the original ones are made up of oak wood infact i live maybe a 1/2 mile away from it . i believe fermento is used in the curing process if there was a way to make it without humidity it would be great. most of the deer that is processed into bologna around these woods is close too the Lebanon bologna
I am drooling. Must go buy some NOW............................
