For anyone looking for a GREAT idea I tried Habs Pastrami...........WOW! Family and friends said it was better than store bought, and asked if I would make more for them. I used Alder & Apple, I had a challenge with grinding the pepper corns, but even with that little challenge it all turned out GREAT!
Thanks Habs for a GREAT treat.
You're not kidding. Was a superbowl hit last year. Thanks Habs.
Made one with venison backstraps this year....made me a hero at deer camp this year.
Thanks for the compliments; everyone.

I've never thought about using a blend of Alder and Apple. I will have to try that next time. I'm glad that it turned out alright for you.
