Too much Tenderquick

Postby Ricklynchcore » Fri Jul 26, 2019 4:51 am

I mixed meat for a batch of Smoked summer sausage. I used Morton Tenderquick at 1 tablespoon per pound. I now believe I should have used a rate of 1.5 tsp per pound for ground meat. Is it ruined? Can more meat be added to equalize? It's only a five pound batch, but would like to save it. I normally use instacure#1, but thought I'd try something new. Oh well!! Mixed this morning.

You should be able to balance it out with more fresh meat if you do so promptly.
Fashionably late will be stylishly hungry.
