Is the snacking before the meal. I don't know about your family holiday dinners, but for as long as I can remember we always had snacks to "hold us over" til it was time to eat the big meal. And usually by the time it was time to eat we were, or at least I was, full from all the snacks. One of my favorites snacks before the holiday dinner has always been home made salami. This recipe was made by my Mom and my Gramma. Great with cheese and crackers or use in a sandwich.
Home Made Salami
5 Lbs Hamburger (25% fat... NO LEAN stuff)
5 Tbsp Curing Salt (heaping)
2 1/2 Tsp Mustard Seed
2 1/2 Tsp Course Ground Pepper
2 1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp Liquid Smoke
Mix well in bowl. Refrigerate. Take out and knead each day for 3 days. On the fourth day, form into 4 logs. Place onto a broiler pan. Bake at 140 degrees for 8 hours. Turn over the last 1/2 hour. Remove from oven and let cool. Wrap in foil. Refrigerate or freeze.
In a little bit of a hurry...You can take a short cut and still turns out great.
Mix well in bowl. Let stand in a covered bowl for 24 hours. Then knead and roll into 4 logs. Bake at 225 degrees for 4 hours.
