Marmie's Salami

Submitted by Marmies

"I can not even remember how long ago I first made this..... but I do remember how amazed I was that I did and that it tasted so good! Very easy and a real money saver...plus so little fat compared to store bought salami. The bonus is, it tastes even better! Give it a try and I hope you like it. NOTE: Prep and cooking time do not include the 24 hours it sits in your fridge before baking!"
