Sodium Erythorbate

This additive is used on all sausages, but please check your spice bag, it may already contain Sodium Erythorbate.  Sodium Erythorbate is used primarily to bring out a nice rich color in your sausage.  It also assists the nitrates in sausage to work faster.  You may also use this in a brine for hams and bacon or with your poultry.   However, it is primarily used with hams and bacon to bring out a nice red color.   If spice bag does not already contain Sodium Erythorbate:  Add 7/8 oz (25g) Sodium Erythorbate per 100 lbs of meat.
