Pepperoni Sticks

Made Nepas Pepperoni Sticks/Ropes tonight from his recipe here (12.5lbs.):

The only thing I changed was the cayenne pepper for fresh Jalapeno's. I cut them up and added to the mix ;D

Here is the mix for the night of stuffing

Here is the wet and dry all mixed together

Here is the pork, ground beef & dry/wet mix all playing with each other.

Here I am out on the deck on Oct. 7th and its 21 °C. This is unheard of up here in northern Ontario. Oh well great weather for the Kirby stuffer to start stuffing those Pepperoni Sticks/Rope. Notice I already have the deck all tarped in for the winter ;D

I had two more rings just like these when I was done

Seven racks of sticks going into the fridge for tomorrows smoke.

Notice the peppers showing through the casings ;)

Really looks good devo, like the color too... I have Rick's recipe and will make that a project this winter...

So did you stuff them into one a long continuous ring and then later cut them into rack size sticks? If so did you tie the ends?

devo · October 08, 2011, 12:42:56 PM

Yes to the long rings and no to tying them off. To much work and to many beers so I just cut them to size. ;D

Got busy with life's other things that happen so I'm a little late on posting the finished pics :(

Well here they are. I have to say the red wine gave it a very different flavor. I could taste the wine for sure. Guess that's not a bad thing but I'm not a fan of red wine. I read an article on cooking with red wine and I think it hit home with this.

"The first and most important rule: Use only wines in your cooking that you would drink. Never, never use any wine that you WOULD NOT DRINK! If you do not like the taste of a wine, you will not like the dish you choose to use it in."

Other than that they where pretty good. I liked the amount of heat from the fresh peppers, it was just right.

Some ends got burnt but with very little trimming they will be just fine. This is after a day in the fridge.

Cut one length wise so you can see the peppers ;)
