I spent the weeks leading up to Christmas getting some things made for a few gift bags:



Contents:
  • Tillamook Cheddar, Monterey jack, and pepper jack cheeses smoked with apple wood.
  • Summer sausage smoke with oak recycled from Jim Beam bourbon barrels.
  • Apple wood smoked Canadian bacon, cured with maple and brown sugar.
  • Tuscan style salami, aged for more than 60 days.

They were a hit with friends and a few coworkers. So much so, that I'll have to get busier earlier next year to make more. I was particularly pleased with how the salami turned out. After Christmas, I pulled a second stick out of the drying chamber after 78 days, so we have 10 more packages for our own eating pleasure.

Wow, that's a set of skills I'm impressed by! Good stuff.

Hey, at least I brought a bag of Hot Salami slices to the last herf I went to! :)
