I will be sending several boxes of Cheese and Crackers with Summer Sausage, Nuts and Mustard.
I actually started this last Sunday and didn't get a chance to post do to a very close friend of mine passing away.

Two hours in now...will continue for 30 more minutes.
After 2-1/2 hours and allowing the cheese to rest for about 20 minutes - I vac sealed individually.

Second batch will be coming soon.....
Looks pretty good Southern. I should get off my butt and smoke some for Xmas presents myself.
Was going to do more today but rain and more rain here. :(
I need to do some too, I need to go to the amish market and get some cheese...but I really like the way you have them labeled...
I picked some cheese up last weekend and tonight for the holidays also. I need to get them smoked this week. I also got some cashews and almonds to do. Those labels are a real nice touch. I really need to go get a vacuum sealer.
Where did you get them cool labels?
Love the custom labels!
Ghost...Amish cheese... I am so jealous...my grandparents lived in Philly and they used to take us to the "Amish Country" for cheese when I was a kid...really nice...
I have looked on line to order some horseradish cheese to smoke...Gizmo turned me onto that here in California...beautiful cheeses...
Very nice! Love smoked cheese, I think this will be one of my next things to do
Really nice girfts you're putting together! So sorry to hear about your friends passing.
