Cure#1 for 6 lbs
Posted: Wed Aug 17, 2016 23:54
Hello all, a old friend of the family has given me a recipe for a cold smoked raw chourico. I have typed out the process below although he wrote to use 9 grams of cure#2 for this sausage. I would think this sausage would need Cure#1. Am i correct? and if so, how much Cure #1 for 6 lbs of meat. I know 5 lbs of meat calls for 1 tsp or 6 grams of cure #1. Will 6 grams be enough to cure 6 lbs of meat?
His original recipe calls of 9 grams of Cure#2
50% of meat cut to 1/4" cubes and/or extra course grind
50% of meat grind through medium plate
Mix in Dextrose, Salt and Cure, let meat rest in fridge for 1 hour
Mix in remaining spices and port wine
Stuff into casings
Let sausages rest in fridge overnight
Cold smoke at 100 F - 120F for 2 hours
Thanks guys!
