9/9/2009 – Is there any you can tell me in volume,cups or table or teaspoon how much
summer sausage seasoning #114 to use per pound of ground meat. I can not make 25 pounds until I know I will like it. I would like to know by the pound or 5 pounds would work as well.
thank you very much.
Response From Southern Indiana Butcher Supply: 10 Level tablespoons of Leggs Old Plantation Summer Sausage Seasoning will season 5 pounds of summer sausage. Level the spoon off with the back of a knife and the measurement is almost exact weight. If you can weigh the spice you can figure .0452 per pound of meat. Properly processed this blend produces one of the most delicious summer sausages around. Try some and enjoy!
4/5/2009 – Hi,
What is the 'pink cure'?
THanks
Response From Southern Indiana Butcher Supply: Pink Cure also known as Pink Salt, Prague Powder #1, Insta Cure, Quick Cure and several other names is used when smoking meats at low temperatures (less than 140 deg F) to prevent botulism poisoning. It is dyed pink for identification purposes and contains 6.25% sodium nitrite. It is the nitrite that, as it breaks down prevents the development of botulinal toxin (botulism), develops cured meat flavor and color, retards development of rancidity and off-odors and off-flavors during storage, inhibits development of warmed-over flavor, and preserves flavors of spices, smoke, etc.
