Kielbasa

Tenpoint5 · November 25, 2009, 01:50:36 PM

Making a fresh batch today. The recipe is the Papa Poli's Polish /Kielbasa from the Len Poli site.

After a 3 day curing stint in the fridge.

Ground through the medium plate spices added and then ground through the fine plate. Momma didn't like the last batch it was too course for her and she wanted it ground finer this time.

Here is all 10 pounds stuffed into 32mm collagen casings. I have to make sticks the big smoker isn't finished yet.

Nepas gets a brand spanking new one given to him. I have to buy mine used for $50 bucks. I haven't bought it just yet, giving it a test run. It sure isn't my big Ugly #32. Takes a wee bit longer to grind the meat.

OLD UGLY for those that haven't seen her.

No its a couple of years old. He said hes only had it for a few years but if the sticker is right it is 7 years old.

5 more minutes just sit back there and be quiet count Cows or sumfin. Remember if there is a cemetery on your side you go back to zero.

Don't let the yardapes play with Old Ugly unless they are bad.

The Maverick and the Thermopen say we be done!!

Everybody in the pool at 34*

I think I will give myself an A on this project. A cold beer and the cross member is no more!! The rest is sitting here blooming for awhile then into a plastic bag and into the fridge for the night. Will vac seal and freeze tomorrow.
