Mulberrylane Real maple syrup adds a great flavor to sausage and jerky and is a great substitute for sugar if sugar is ok to eat. Prayers are with you.

Yes I have and found no bad effects from it. When I started making sausage, I never used anything, and was happy with the final product. I used 3 cups powdered milk in a 25# batch, I just find it harder to mix in real well compared to the carrot fiber I use now. hope this helps

Jonathon how come our fearless leader does not have a ‘‘team blue’’ box by your name. Makes me nervous.

srg158 For me, a GOOD thermometer is most important. You can always measure spices and such with other ‘‘tools’’ but its hard to measure temp for a done and safe product unless you have a good thermometer.
