Looks great.... were you using Rich's old camera by chance Nice looking ringage you have there!!

Nice work Josh! Here's some "jumpin' in the bologna pool" for a great effort!

Not that it affects taste but, I noticed a little wrinkling in your slice pics. That's happened to some of my links too. Ya think that was due to under-stuffing, too lean, not cooled quick enough or what? Just curious.

Lookin' forward to your next project! Nicely done, Josh.

Thank you very much!

I think they were under stuffed . This was my first shot at stuffing a casing this size ( I've only done sticks) I took them off the smoker let them rest a while and then into the fridge. So not sure about cooling.

I did miss a step in my recipe that I was suppose to put them in 180* water till they float and that would keep the casing from sticking. My casing's sticking really bad.(no edible collagen)

Looking good there!! Still live in PA so I guess I take that stuff for granted...now you can whip up a dutch platter next time you have company!

Awesome!!!

for sure, for making my neighborhood's favorite bologna, and doing a fine job of it!!!!

Nothing like good old Pennsylvania Ring Bologna!!!!


Thanks for showing!!!

BTW: I used to have that same problem with close-ups. If you have a zoom, step back physically and zoom in on it.

Worked for me,

Sorry about that. It's actually "PA Dutch Ring Bologna", but many of us (including me) forget to include the "Dutch" when we talk about it.

Great stuff !

I'm from Royersford!! Born and raised here (except for a few years spent with USMC, where I actually lived in NC for a few years, Topsail Island).

My husbands family has had a business in Rofo for going on 50 years, Christman Jeweler's. When is the last time you've been in the area?

I sure do like sausage and that looks good.

[Kingudaroad]

Interesting sausage. Lots of brown sugar and coriander.

Wow good old Rofo. I was just up there for Christmas/New Years. All my family is still up there. I moved with my job here to NC and met my wife and had 3 kids.

Yes the coriander really makes the flavor profile. And it's sweet. I cut the recipe in 1/2, because I only had 2.5 lbs of meat to use. The brown sugar was a tad to much. When I make it next time, I will cut back the sugar a little.
