    Rainy Day Canning

    Rainy and cool for the next few days, so any yard work is a no-go. Instead, I will pressure can some beef and chicken. More pints again. My stockpile is growing. Haven't canned pork yet, but next time I see pork loin on sale I'll grab it. What do you pressure canners make with your canned pork?

    Conecuh Black Pepper Sausage

    Grabbed a bunch at the commissary today. Love this sausage. Great flavor and texture. Goes great with just a little mustard on some crunchy French bread. Would never have tried Conecuh had it not been for this forum.

    Pastrami

    Picked up a brisket flat. Plan on making Pastrami. Looked around a little and see many use a Pop's brine variant. Looking for opinions on any experience using Pop's, or any ideas/opinions on other cure options. Thanks

    Was very impressed with this tool. Much easier/faster than hog rings and scissors. Great addition to my sausage making tools.

    Breakfast Sausage

    Picked up 2 pork boneless butts at the commissary. About 16.75 pounds. Time to break in the LEM #12 grinder. Will package in game bags. Get to try out the LEM tape machine as well. Now, just need to settle on a recipe. I have some AC Leggs seasoning I might try, or a "Jimmy Dean" clone recipe.

    Old snack sticks

    I made these beef snack sticks with my LEM jerky canon about 9 years ago.... Just came across the picture. If my memory is intact, they were very good. Have to do this again soon....
