More Summer Sausage

[NePaSmoKer]

My neighbor wants some now. So he went and got the meat, i ground it up.


Got my cure in the water while i mix the beef and pork together.


Added my dry to the cure/water and 1/2 tsp of cayenne  ;D Mix all together and let meat mix sit in fridge overnight.

1/2 teaspoon of Cayenne. You a very funny man Nepas. More like 1/2 of a Tones Shorty.

Looks like the way I measure the cayenne.

To taste.  ;)

Got the summer sausage all stuffed. Even a 3/4lb small one  ;D




Hanging at 130* for an hour then PID is bumping in 10* increments to 180*



I think i'm going to try the special blend on these  :o

I got to pick up some of those large casings so I can give this a try. They look great!  :)
Did you stuff them with the 5# stuffer?

hi Nepas, What are you using to tie the sausages to, that allows them to hang?

I use butcher twine, make a loop and attatch with a hog ring so the weight of the sausage dont make it slip from the loop.

Ya know the special blend turned out pretty good on the sausage. Might have to keep a box in my inventory  ;D
I didnt get a chance to take pics of the final, i sealed them and they are off to SD to my neighbors son.
