Combining Prepackaged Seasoning Mixes
-
Has any one combined two or more of the Excalibur Seasonings?
If so, anything that I should be aware of, or consider?
Planning on combining 1/2 of two different 25# premixes. Bought a Cranberry mix and a jalapeño mix. I plan to split each mix 50% on a scale, combine and mix into 25# of pork/beef, add cheddar and end up with cranberry jalapeño cheddar summer sausage.
Thoughts?
Thank you and have a great day! -
I don’t see any issues with your plan.

No red flags that I can see.

Lol, Just the risk of ending up with 25 lbs of cranberry jalapeño cheddar summer sausage! I’m joking but… have you tried a small bit to be sure you like it?
I’m gonna assume you’ve tried it, so I’d like to hear what you think of the flavors? You got me interested, I just went and cut some summer sausage I had, added some pickled jalapeños, some homemade cranberry jelly sauce, and some sharp cheddar!
I’m not gonna lie… I absolutely did not expext to like this combo! But, I’m gonna make some more now for my wife…

And along those same lines, you might want to take enough of each seasoning to make a 2 lb test batch before committing to a full 25 lb batch.
Just grind enough meat for the test batch and fry up a couple of patties. Tastes like crap? Stop. Tastes good? Grind the rest of your meat and mix up a full batch and enjoy your new discovery.Paul

Well, you know me…always over-thinking the obvious.

The 25# is ground and mixed. Just did a couple of test patties and it accomplished what I was hoping for. The sweetness from the cranberry with the flavor of jalapeño and just the right amount of heat. I diced 5 larger Jalapeños (seeds and all) added to my last grind. Then added 3 # of dried cranberries (craisins) and about 2.5# high temp cheddar in the final mix. Now break out the stuffer, then into the fridge and into the smoker tomorrow! I have no doubt all 25 plus pounds will be gone by Fall! The more the flavor settles into my mouth the more I enjoy!! Unique, but pretty damn good!!
Have a great day! -

Sounds like almost a complete meal in a casing! Maybe the healthiest sausage creation yet. -

Great looking sausages!
My wife liked the flavor mix, and was especially happy I was using her homemade cranberry sauce. Then she was confused when I said you were adding those flavors, not just putting them on top lol. She said, “Well he is going to have to put something on top of it anyways, no one eats summer sausage without a topping, it’s like offering a rude hors d’oeuvre!”
Lol… so I’m not telling her about any spice mixes I buy. -

I was born & raised in Wisconsin with cheese, cranberries & sausage. Other then crackers & cheese I’ve never seen anyone put a topping on summer sausage. But hey, if that’s how you like it who am I to question? Enjoy! -
