First Time Homemade Pepperoni

[Rich Dahl]

Barb and I made some homemade pepperoni yesterday got the recipe off the Morton’s salt site.

Easy recipe to make.
Came out pretty good, had great flavor. Might try it with ground pork next time.
Got some Canadian bacon curing up also.
Looks like Barb and I will be doing some pizzas pretty soon.

Ready for the fridge overnight

Ready for the gasser.

45 minuets later done at 160*.

Very tasty.

Man does that ever look good. I hear a pizza calling your name

 

[Bill Schultz]

Never tried that, looks awful good

 

[BrianCal]

Did you bake it? Wondering if 325 degrees on the WSM might cook it too.......?

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

Great looking pepperoni Rich. Two of those wouldn't last too long around here!

Not until the wind stops along with the blowing snow, but we are looking forward to trying it on pizza.

Good job! That will surely add some more "freshness" to your pizzas!

I ordered 2 LBS Morton Tender Quick 2 from LEM Products, hopefully get it in the next day or so. I plan to make some Pepperoni Wednesday the 23rd for Pizza night Christmas Eve. The only thing I'm going to do different is:

Add 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
I'm going to skip the teaspoon of liquid smoke and smoke the Pepperoni on my Mini

Thanks for posting this, this is great

Barb and I are going to make some changes too. I almost always make a recipe the first time just as it calls for to get a base line. After that it's whatever we think will make it more to our liking.
I think the smoked paprika is a good call and smoking it is also, as I'm not a big fan of liquid smoke. Also a finer grind of whatever meat you use will make the texture better than store bought hamburger.

Looks god to me Rich.

Looks Tasty! Nice smoke!

 

[Robert-R]

I'm going to try that. I love pepperoni.
Told my wife about it.
