[cath61]

This morning I started to cure some salmon for the first time!!!!!!

I am very nervous that I have done it right, it is currently residing in the fridge waiting til Sunday when I will see the results
I will post some pics, but just thought I should let you know that I having started to get the bug!

Couldn't work out how to put my pics but I have put them on Facebook if anyone interested!
Search for Franco's Famous Sausagemaking and you will see my salmon

Did you use the shops salmon cure? C'mon cath tell us how you did it, as a lot of us haven't used the shops cure...

[cath61]

Right I have unpacked my salmon and washed in down and it is now drying on the side.
Got to leave it for 2 hours and then I can oil it and try some

Sounds silly but feeling abit nervous now - hope its worked!!!!

[cath61]

All done and it looks and tastes goregous

Am very impressed by how easy it was and now I think I might try salami - wish my luck!!!!!

Seriously, can you explain for us that have no room for smokers, how it was done. Images would be great.

Sorry Oddley, I thought you were being sarcastic

I will post some images tomorrow with the method and you can see what you think!

I'm sorry Cath, please don't take it that I have any axe to grind. I welcome your presence on the forum. I can express my opinion a bit forcefully sometimes, Please don't take it as anything else, but my heartfelt opinion.

[cath61]

No probs Oddley.

Would be really interested to hear your thoughts on the process.

Oddley wrote that tutorial on posting images on the forum Cath, it's not that obvious how to do it so we often have to direct people to that link on how to post images...

[cath61]

It wasn't the tutorial I was referring to, it was the smoking process. Just me being over sensitive
Alls well that ends well!
