Summer sausage at 157 degrees and ready for the polar plunge:




Chilling nicely in an ice bath:



Blooming for an hour or three in front of a fan to develop color.

Nice.  :thumb: Fortunately, when we make it up to Wisconsin to visit the Kid and Nora, he normally has an appetizer plate of summer sausage and various cheeses laid out. You can actually *buy* good stuff up there. You'd think all that cholesterol would kill a horse, but it doesn't seem to affect Wisconsinites. <shrug>  :smiley:

I also cold  smoke a fair amount of cheeses  both homemade and store bought to enjoy with the summer sausage.  Olives and gherkin pickles are also a nice compliment to the cheese and bologna.

Cold smoking cheese is super easy and it makes a 8 ounce $1.69 block of Wisconsin ex-sharp cheddar from Aldi's taste like a $15.00 of artisan cheese.

All you need is an amazing pellet tray, an old metal mailbox, a couple 3" vent fittings and housing to corral the smoke. A grill, smoker, cardboard box, 5 gallon bucket all work as the housing.
