Bologna question
-
Am going to make some wild hog bologna. I have the larger casings. My question is, do I follow the seasonings for hotdogs? And same process? Don’t hotdog s before but not bologna. Also, can I substitute carrot fiber instead of sure gel?

bcompton53 So yes, you can use the same process for hotdogs and just put it into a larger casing for bologna. Both hotdogs and bologna you want to basically emulsify the meat before stuffing, get it really broken down, grind it a 3rd time if you think it is necessary. The texture will be a little better for a bologna/hotdog with sure gel than it will be with carrot fiber in my opinion but that is an opinion, other people might like it better with carrot fiber! Good luck!

Thanks. I forgot to ask. I am using pretty lean wild hog trimmings. No external fat to speak of. I have domestic pork fat that I add to sausage. Would you suggest adding about 20% fat in? Or is there more internal fat in the wild hog than I realize?

bcompton53 Fat content and quality will change with each wild hog but in general, I would plan on just adding 15-20% the weight of the meat in fat as it will be better fat and you can control the amount better.
