Holiday Beef Summer Sausage - DONE!
« Reply #-1 on: December 19, 2012, 01:55:00 AM »
One more part of the gift packs done...






Rick (nepas) turned me on to using muslin casings a few years ago and I and love 'em! They're economical and have a lot of rustic appeal. This year I decided to get a little fancier with them since they're for gift packs.

The Mrs. cut & sewed them up on her surger (thank you sweetie!) and I had a custom rubber stamp made (the ink is non-toxic archival ink).

The large ones (2 3/4" diameter X 10" long) will hold about 2 pounds. The smaller ones (1 1/4" D. X 8" L.) hold about 6 oz.

Stuffed



I left enough in between each space for smoke to get to all sides. Them racks were full. 15 lbs of Summer Sausage + there was a 2 lb chub of peperoni on the back rack.


I'm very pleased with how they turned out.


Thanks for looking. :)

Now on to the smoky cheese spread & smoked nuts...

THAT is a quality job from start to finish. A nice classy touch with the hand made cloth bags and the stamp Cliff!

Growing up in Wisconsin and working part time in a German Butcher Shop during high school makes me sure miss good summer sausage.

Great pictorial and this picture has me drooling.  Nicely done.

Yes, it's a muslin.  I look for a 100% unbleached cotton muslin that has NOT been treated to be permanent press, with a fairly loose thread count.
I get mine at Wal-Mart, but any fabric shop should carry it.
