• Reduce and simmer 5 minutes.
• Add in the pepper rings and simmer exactly 4 minutes (stir them to coat rings)
• Remove pepper rings into jars
• Bring to a boil the syrup - Boil hard for exactly 6 minutes
• Ladle over slices

Eat and enjoy!

Sous Vide Pork Tenderloin last night and once again the Sous Vide Method turned out great. Pic’s below if anyone interested in how I did it.

I’ve been making these for years. Whenever I find these almonds on sale I smoke a batch. Absolutely incredible. Many people don’t realize that when you smoke wasabi it lightens up the taste and turns it kind of sweet. Today I smoked 3 bags / 6 pounds.

Highly recommend giving this a try.

• Pour your almonds in a large bowl
• Melt some butter. I usually do 1/2 stick per 2 lb bag
• Pour butter over almonds. Mix well so all almonds are coated and become glossy.
• Cold smoke these for 3 hours. I like these almonds very smoky. So keep that vent necked way down.
• Pull almonds out and set outside.
• (Most important step). They have to air dry until you can mix them with a plastic spoon and it stays near dry / clean. You can’t get them completely dry because of the butter. This step can take 4-5 hours.
• After air drying. Bag them up and seal them.
• I freeze them.
  They are awesome. Will taste like a sweet smoke with a very mild wasabi flavor and a hickory bite.

I must say that the willy’s snack stick mix along with some high temp cheese is quiet a nice blend especially when hickory smoked. If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend it. Yum. !

I see that my 16 bags of almonds are already gone. I think the neighbors got a bunch of them thanks to the wife. So I am putting together a second batch in a week

Here are my fire beans. Great for bloody Mary’s

Any plain jerky mix can really be spruced up with this simple addition of hatch green chili. Instead of adding the required water, replace it with the hatch green chili juice. Purée the chili with a little garlic powder and basically paint it on the jerky strips. I sprinkle a little more garlic powder on top and into the dehydrator they go. Awesome.

As discussed in part 1, I often do this to my smoked cheeses. Add a little Jalapeño and sous vide into a good melt. Reform in tupper-ware and boom - Jalapeño smoked cheese. You see dark spots in the cheese, this is the smoke bark (I guess you would call it). The bark is not hard, and imparts incredible smoke flavor to the bite.

Really easy - Give it a try, You will like it.
Enjoy!

Man I’m glad I caught it, I had a bunch of deer and elk meat in mine too. Don’t want that smell.

Would you say that the Habanero hi temp cheese is really hot? I’m gonna be making the last half of my willies snacks sticks and wanted to add some hi temp cheese, but I don’t want them too hot.

Thoughts?

Figured this would be a good inaugural run for the new PK100.

Awesome. Great stuff

I thought it was a disaster and will not be watching anymore of them. In the eyes of the world, we look pretty bad. That poor moderator.

That was a very bad debate IMO. Terrible. Like a couple of kids. Glad I didn’t finish it, I was cleaning up water in basement and moving meats.

It appears that I will need to get a new freezer. I needed a break from that Presidential debate last night and decided to go and grab a dessert from the freezer. I see water on the floor in the basement. I must have caught it when the failure just happened, as the contents were still pretty hard frozen. I quickly transferred everything to my chest freezer in the garage. Time to get a new freezer I guess. They don’t make them like that anymore. It was a good one! So thankful I caught it on time - Would have lost well over 100 pounds of sausage, deer, elk, etc…

I’m all over it.

So glad you liked the almonds. Thanks for the info on wood fuel.

I think I am going to need a shipping discount. LOL. I guess we will see what comes out in the livecast.
