The Colonel has done it again! Nice recipe Big Guy, and great photo too. I can hardly wait to make some of those. I can think of several members who would go crazy over this recipe. Thanks for sharing!

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

P.S. Hey Big Guy, I noticed you didn't specify which number of Cure. Would you mind if I went in and touched it up so beginners know which one to use? (#1 Cure of course for this type of product).

Yes it is cure#1,
they go great with a freshly picked Bud Lite Lime from my tree.

Hold on a minute, I was thinking that the lime zest and Tequila was for the sausage maker to consume while mixing the snack sticks?

I gotta get me one of those trees.

Nice work Big Guy!

Don't let him fool you Wally! That is actually a Canadian golf ball tree. Can't you see those little round golf balls hangin' from the limbs? They are almost ready to turn white.
