Neighborly Ring Bologna

[NePaSmoKer]

My neighbor asked me if i could make him some ring bologna with cheese  ;D  Sure Bro

Here is my 1 cup cold distilled water with 1 tsp of cure #1. Going in the fridge for a couple hours to get colder. My 4 protein lined synthetic casings. Going to soak them in water while i get the meat mixed in awhile.

I'll hook ya up  ;D

Got the MJ Cheese cubed. Only 1 1/4 cup, being its not high temp. Too much will make the bologna mushy  :-\  Added to 5lbs of GM when mixing.



5 T of mix into the 1 cup cure water. Mix up good and put back in fridge for another hour to marry up.


Back later  ;D
