I have never used the Sure Gel before, but did in this latest batch and really like the texture that it gives to the sticks. I will be using the Sure Gel for sure going forward.

When we package meat it is a family affair often with my Dad, Brother, Brother-Inlaw, and our kids. Processing our own meat is a family tradition that has been going on for many years. One of my uncles was even a meat market owner/butcher for most of his life, and while we use a ton of Excalibur seasonings (love them) that we have been using long before I found Waltons Inc about 6 years ago, many of our recipes are from my grandparents and uncle that have been perfected and passed down for several generations.

Here is a link with some pics from this past weekend’s snack stick processing where we made 2 batches of original Pepper Sticks and the one batch of Buffalo Bleu Cheese which is one of my new favorites and will be made again!
