Sometimes I add more pepper or hot sauce to a batch, because my husband likes a spicy mix. I have also had good results, with other spices, such as ground cumin, jerk seasoning, blackened seasoning, etc. Mix all ingedients together in a non-metalic bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Divide meat into 4 parts and shape into logs.
Place logs directly on top oven rack, with a drip pan on the lower rack.
Bake slowly, at 225 degrees for four hours. When cool, pull net off carefully, slice and enjoy. I take this to parties, and it also makes a nice hostess gift or as an addition to a gourmet basket.
