28 lbs Bacon, Holiday Summer Sausage, Best Pepperoni to date, & some Pickles
« Reply #-1 on: January 01, 2015, 06:58:21 PM »
I have been very under the weather (found out I have pneumonia earlier this week), so holiday cooking has been going slow, with a lot of help from my family, especially my son so I could stay away from the smoker/smoke as much as possible.

We got 28 Lbs of Cider-Mill bacon cured, smoked...


 & sliced...



Ten pounds each: Holiday Summer Sausage and pepperoni cured, stuffed & smoked.  Most of this will go out as gifts.





I've been tweaking this recipe now for over four years, and this is by far the best pepperoni to date! :)



Oh... and I made a couple batches of quick Bread & Butter Pickles too.


Thanks for looking!

Sorry for the sickness.....especially this time of the year. My son has been fighting the flu for a week.

Incredible results Tent. Your pepperoni looks killer.

First off Cliff, sorry to hear about your pneumonia! Get well wishes buddy!

Wow, lots of extra-tasty bacon, sausages and pickles. That should be an incentive to get better, so you can eat some of this bounty!

Get well and stay well!!  Fantastic looking bacon and pepperoni!!  I know first hand that your bacon is some of the best I have ever had.  I'd love to try the pep sometime.

Not sure how you can make that as sick as you are but it looks outstanding. Get some rest and take care. Since you are sending some out as gifts do you need my address? I can send you a PM.
Love to cook and eat
