Pepperoni
-
Gonna try my hand at making some pepperoni sticks. I picked up some mix and cure on the Walton’s big Monday sale. Any suggestions or tips? Never tried it before.
I will be smoking it in the PK100 - I have a smoke schedule from the manual. -
lkrfletcher Grind fat and lean separately and, if you like the tang use the Encapuslated Citric Acid. I like our pepperoni without ECA but with it I freaking love that stuff! Also, I’ve used the cellulose casings for pepperoni sticks before and it worked incredibly well!

Now I cant find lean - You think 88% will work? - Should be ok I think

lkrfletcher So short answer is yes it will work. Longer answer is that if 12% is the total amount of fat that is going to be in the product then it won’t have a ton of flavor but you should be able to still get a good bind and not experience any problem as long as you get real good protein extraction.
