Mousea Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 I will probably get a few "what the hell's"but I regularly chop mine up and freeze it.I sometimes don't even defrost and chomp it still frozen. Taste lekker to me.......Even freezing whole does the trick
AlanD Posted January 12, 2019 Author Posted January 12, 2019 Haven't made a batch in a while and needed to get one going. Normally I'll usr a crown national spice and mix in a few extras but this time I made my own so will see how it turns out. Used salt, coriander seeds (toasted in a dry pan then crushed), cumin seeds (also toasted and crushed), brown sugar, crushed black pepper and Apple cider vinegar. Should come out quote lekker.

Goodbadugly Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 I hung out a batch of dry wors a few weeks ago. In my biltong cabinet. It was so hot and humid, it got a fungus. Damn. The dog enjoyed it though

AlanD Posted January 14, 2019 Author Posted January 14, 2019 I haven't tried cumin before. Will give it a goI've always used Cumin, its such a distinct and tasty spice. This is the first time ive toasted both the Cumin seeds and Coriander Seeds in a dry pan for a few minutes to release the flavor so should come out lekker....hopefully.

AlanD Posted January 14, 2019 Author Posted January 14, 2019 How's the oros supply?Lol...sadly it was time to retire it seeing as though it was getting too pricey. Struggling to find anything similar here, have a cupboard full of half finished juices that got relegated as they didn't make the cut...hahaha

I just Sommer use anything. I find expats funny creatures... Wet live in countries with some of the best ciders in the world but saffas lose their 5h1t when they see Savannah in the local Aldi!

Wet live in countries with some of the best ciders in the world but saffas lose their 5h1t when they see Savannah in the local Aldi!Lol....I find most of these concentrates have a terrible after taste and just taste bad, but Oros somehow seems to work. I've given up and now just a whole load of beer and Gin..hahaha
AlanD Posted January 17, 2019 Author Posted January 17, 2019 A few pieces ready and it's sublime. That cumin really comes through..might have been a little heavy handed on it but it's lekker. How do you store your biltong? I normally put it in the fridge in an air tight container but last time it spores very quickly. Thinking of just leaving out in a bowl or something.
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 How's the oros supply? Lots of complaints about Oros being watered down now, possibly to get it under the new sugar tax limits. So not only is it pricey but now it doesn't go as far as it used to. Btw, your biltong looks good.Maybe put a recipe down, if you haven't already.

Btw, your biltong looks good.Maybe put a recipe down, if you haven't already.I guess it won't be long till they make the bottle smaller like they have done with so many other things. TBH I still enjoy my oros. I usually have stock of orange, naartjie, lemon and cocopine. When I first moved out of home and had to start buying my own groceries in late 2012 Oros was about R20 a bottle and around R18 on special. Last week I paid R38 for orange on special and R41 for the rest. Doubled in price in less than 7 years.

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Make smaller batchesThe airtight container is the problem Having a baby in the house we sterilize a lot of plastic bottles.Fill the container with water and microwave it for 5mins, might help. Nothing is ever really 100% germ free, even if you have just washed it.......
