I'm looking to make homemade lunchmeat ... any suggestions? I've found a lot of recipes for pepperoni and summer sausage too but I will not use nitrites or nitrates. I want to be SURE it is safe for my family.
I know freezing it will help kill harmful bacteria. Can you cure it after freezing? Can you let it dry outside regardless of temp? Will the time in a low temp smoker be harmful? Again, these questions are due to the absence of nitritates/ites.
I have spices and mixes and raise my own pork and plan to hopefully have a lot of venison soon ... just need help "putting it all together".
Thanks for any help,
Mike
