Traditional Dry Cured Pepperoni
« Reply #-1 on: February 26, 2015, 12:09:32 PM »
Doing 5lbs of dry cured pepperoni. Sorry cant post the recipe with out the owners approval. I did however add a few of my own ingredients.

From bottom left.

Red wine
Mustard seeds
salt
dextrose
cure #2
fennel seed
hot paprika
cayenne/garlic powder mixed
anise seed

Bottom right is  1/4 tsp T-SPX mixed with 4 T  cold distilled water and a pinch of dextrose. Set aside and add last.



Mix all the dry together. I ran the mix thought the spice mill pulse 3 times.



All mixed by hand. Next time to stuff.



Into 32mm UMAi bags.





Now some hang time.



Will be checking these daily and taking pics.

These pics taken this morning at 10 days. Notice how the UMAi bags have pulled away from the meat. Pepperoni is getting firm. UMAi bags are doing their thing. Not getting all Rocket Science on these with weights.









Give them another week and slice one and taste.

Hi everyone.

Decided to check on the UMAi pepperoni. Looks good enough.

So far looking good. Being i cant eat yet, my wife is doing the tasting. She said it taste like pepperoni. Thats good, now time to pair and get ready to seal. The outter got some (hardening, no biggie)


UMAi bags pulled away just right.
