Title: More snack sticks
Post by: Mossy on January 15, 2011, 09:12:27 AM: Used the new grinder which made short work of these. Tried a jalapeno mix with hi temp jalapeno cheese. Alot more flavor than my last spicy teryaki ones. Still have to seal them up. Just waiting for my bbb kit to arrive....

Michlitch in spokane. Personally I thought 1lb of cheese looked like an awful lot for 10lbs but looking at it now I could probably have used more.

Looks really good. Check at Michlich's for the BBB mix. They make their own and have a honey bacon mix that I used. It is really good-less salty.

Post by: Mossy on January 15, 2011, 04:36:34 PM: The taste is actually really good. First batch was over done for me(probably good for normal) but 2nd batch is awesome. I made an additional 2 lbs of sticks for friends that think they can handle heat, should be interesting.

Mossy,

Well I bought a kit from them. Come to find out it's a wet brine so I ordered from hi country.

The wet brine is for the ham mix they have. Really good and easy. See Christmas Ham under recipes. The bacon mix (to the left as you look on the rack) is a dry rub that you add honey to. It's great. I have pics of that too.

Post by: Mossy on January 15, 2011, 05:24:23 PM: Yeah I know. After I found out it was a wet brine I gave them a call. They told me about the honey dry cure but I'm not a huge fan of sweet bacon. Guess it depends on who you talk to in there. 2 girls didn't know what buckboard bacon was. I'll give hi mountain a shot, if I don't like it then I'll head to michlitch. If I don't like them, I'll go to costco.

Post by: daddysprad on January 15, 2011, 05:36:53 PM: Says in the directions that you don't have to add the honey and also says that the dry mix and the brine are the same, so I'd try the brine as a dry rub and add what you want...Pepper?
Title: Re: More snack sticks
Post by: Mossy on January 15, 2011, 05:40:18 PM: Not in my instructions. Plain and simple for a brine cure. I'll hold on to it for a ham later on down the road

Post by: huntlakewood on January 15, 2011, 07:55:58 PM: I like the grinder I am going to have to save my money to get one like that. really nice job on the sticks makes me want to make some more. Try chicken one day I did and every body seems to like it.

Post by: Mossy on January 17, 2011, 05:09:12 PM: Got the feedback today. Everyone loved the jalapeno sticks, much better flavor than the spicy teryaki. Just so you know, jalapeno with jalapeno cheese is NOT really spicy. I thought it would be but it's comfortable for most, just a good taste.

You will love it we have 2 kitchen aids. One is just used with the grinder for me to grind deer and elk and etc with. I can tell you how many critters mine has done. That thing will chew threw about anything :IBCOOL: I don't have the stuffer. I have another grinder i use to stuff the sticks with and my summer sausage I do by hand.

We ordered the attachment grinder for the kitchenaid but my cabelas grinder got here first. So I have no idea how it works. Let us know
