Using the Christmas gift Stuffer

So the bologna was in about 3 hours, and when I pulled it you could see it was full of water in the casing. So I think the ties leaked. I figured it would take years to dry ;D So I threw them out.

I wouldnt of thrown them away, I would have cut the casing off wipe down with a papper towel and laid on a rack to drip dry and bloom for an hr or two.

Then put in the fridge for a day unwrapped then cut in just to see how it turned out.

The water bath thing we always called "Poaching" and yes some times water does get under the casings.

I think I would have peeled that baby and stick in the smoker until it got up to safe temp and then eaten it!

What is meant by the term "bloom"? Seen it several times and just have never asked! Thanks!

Blooming is nothing more than letting your sausage dry and "age" at room temperature and take on a deeper color before you package it for storage.

I would think they would have been done sitting in a pot of 160 deg water for over 3 hr.  ;D
