Ingredients:
1.1 lb pork shoulder lean pork will also work
8.82 oz lean beef
8.82 oz pork pack fat
0.6 oz kosher salt
0.09 oz insta cure #1
0.18 oz granulated sugar
0.11 oz cracked black pepper
0.09 oz coriander
0.05 oz garlic powder
0.21 oz mustard seeds
0.05 oz all spice
0.02 oz nutmeg powder
0.18 oz nutritional yeast
0.35 oz encapsulated citric acid ADD LAST DURING THE FINAL STAGES OF MIXING
0.03 oz sodium erythorbate this is a cure accelerator
2.67 floz ice cold water
Fibrous Casings for summer sausage 76mm (3inch) or whatever size you prefer
Optional Ingredients
2.23 tsp liquid smoke more or less depending on preference. (basically 1 tsp per pound of meat)

Instructions:
Start by entering the amount that you want to make in the "Box that reads "How much do you want to make" Be sure to enter the amount in grams
1,000 grams = 2.2 pounds
2270 grams = 5 pounds
4540 grams = 10 pounds
9080 grams = 20 pounds
Clean your meat of any silver skin, sinew, arteries and cut into small strips or cubes. Cut into small strips or cubes and place the meat and fat in the freezer for an hour or until the temp reaches 30f – 34f (-1c – 1c)
Prepare all of your seasonings (except the encapsulated citric acid, this ingredient is added at the very end of the mixing process and by itself)
Grind your very chilled meat and fat on a medium plate (6mm). Rechill if necessary. You want the temperature of the meat to be below 34f (1c) when mixing)
Rehydrate your casings in luke warm water for 15 minutes prior to using
Mix the meat, ice cold water, and your seasonings (except the encapsulated citric acid) until the meat mixture gets very tacky and sticky. It will stick to your hand when you grab a small hand full of it and turn your hand upside down.
Once your meat is very sticky add the encapsulated citric acid. Mix for another 30 seconds to simply incorporate this ingredient.
Stuff your mince meat into the casings and tie them off. Prick out any air pockets with a sausage pricker.
WHEN YOU ADD ENCAPSULATED CITRIC ACID TO YOUR RECIPE YOU MUST COOK YOUR SAUSAGE IMMEDIATLY AFTER STUFFING THEM INTO A CASING

Cooking Schedule:

In a smoker start cooking at 100F (37.7c) for 1 hour, 135F (57c) for 2 hours, 155F (68.3) for 2 hours, 185F for 1 hours then 185f (85c) till the internal temp reaches 150F (65.5c)
Begin to apply smoke when you raise the temperature to 135f (57c) and smoke through out the cooking process. I used Hickory wood.
Once finished cooking submerge in ice cold water and hang to bloom/age for 6-12 hours
Slice and enjoy.

ALTERNATIVE COOKING DIRECTIONS (If you don't have a digital programable smoker here are some other methods of cooking summer sausage.)

Kitchen oven:

Set the oven to the lowest setting, preferably below 250f (121c). Place your sausages in your oven and cook till the internal reaches 155f (68.3c). Rotate the sausages every 15 minutes till finished to ensure even cooking. For a smoky flavor add liquid smoke to your recipe.
After you reach the target temperature, cool down in an ice bath. Since these were not smoked blooming is not necessary but you can still hang your sausage to age/dry for 6-12 hours

Expert Tips

For best results, bake cookies on middle oven rack.
For even baking, it’s best to bake one sheet at a time.
The best cookie sheets are shiny aluminum with
a smooth surface and no sides. They reflect heat, letting
cookies bake evenly and brown properly.
Rimmed baking sheets are excellent for many things, but not for cookie making.
To ensure success in baking, measure ingredients accurately using the right measuring
equipment for the ingredient being measured.
For best results, add ingredients in the order they are called
for.The best way to measure flour is to first stir the flour
a bit before spooning into the measuring cup. Fill until
heaping, and then sweep the excess off the top with the
flat edge of a butter knife.
Line flat cookie sheets with parchment for easy cleanup.

Old Fashioned Peanut Brittle

ID:

Catagory:
Snacks

Ingredients:
1/2 cup salted butter

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup light corn syrup

1 cup granulated sugar

1 heaping cup raw peanuts, skins on.

1 tsp vanilla extract

1-1/2 tsp baking soda

Instructions:
Prepare a 13x9 sheet pan and line it with parchment paper or lightly butter it. In a large skillet or medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Next, add salt, syrup, and sugar to the saucepan with butter and cook until reaching crack stage (300°F-310°F. When the mixture reaches the crack stage, it will have turned golden brown. Quickly add baking soda and vanilla, stirring well.

The candy should get fluffy looking as you stir is vigorously. Pour it onto the prepared sheet pan. Caution: Candy is very hot. Use a spatula to spread it out and let it cool completely on a cooling rack. Once cooled, break into small pieces and store in an airtight container.

It is essential to use raw peanuts when making peanut brittle. As candy cooks on stove peanuts will parch and develop a desirable flavor. Dry-roasted peanuts are not recommended, as they do not yield the same authentic taste as raw peanuts.
381) Microwave Peanut Brittle

Peanuts: Roast peanuts on a cookie sheet at 350°F for 8-10 minutes or in an air fryer at 300°F for 6 minutes. Do not cook peanuts too dark but cook them long enough to taste toasty. Cook times for roasting peanuts will vary with different appliances.

Prepare a 13x9 sheet pan and line it with parchment paper or lightly butter it.
Candy: In a glass batter bowl, stir together butter, salt, syrup, and sugar.
IMPORTANT: Microwave wattages vary. Once the candy starts to turn golden brown, it should be ready. Do not burn it. Cooking times can differ. Lift the spoon out of hot candy and see if it forms a thread.
1000-watt microwave: Cook on high for 3 minutes. Remove and stir well, then microwave for 3 more minutes. Stir in peanuts, and vanilla, then microwave for 2 minutes more. Add baking soda and quickly stir vigorously until light and foamy. Immediately pour onto a parchment lined or lightly buttered cookie sheet.
