I have been very under the weather (found out I have pneumonia earlier this week), so holiday cooking has been going slow, with a lot of help from my family, especially my son so I could stay away from the smoker/smoke as much as possible.
We got 28 Lbs of Cider-Mill bacon cured, smoked...

Ten pounds each: Holiday Summer Sausage and pepperoni cured, stuffed & smoked. Most of this will go out as gifts.

I've been tweaking this recipe now for over four years, and this is by far the best pepperoni to date!

Oh... and I made a couple batches of quick Bread & Butter Pickles too.
