| I have tried to make kielbasa quite a few times. Mostly it comes out far too dry. I use a fine ground pork butt with salt, coarse pepper, garlic, non-fat dry milk as a binder. I mix all of the ingredients in water and then mix in the ground pork. I don't want to make it too fatty but when I smoke it, it tastes very dry. I have tried different temperatures to smoke the meat, but the texture is always the same. Can you suggest something else for me to try? |
