Sweet!
Always wanted to do bfast sausage
Please post your recipe when you get a minute.
Thanks!
I'd be happy to.
18 pounds of meat. 50/50 pork venison works great too.
8oz salt
2oz coarse black pepper
1oz sage
1oz onion powder
1oz granulated garlic.
This makes 26 pounds of sausage. However all it takes is I/2 oz/ pound of ground meat. You could cut the batch of spices in half, use what you need and store the rest in an airtight container in the freezer till you need more
The sausage recipe came from Italy with my great grand parents over 100 years ago. I've been making or helped make it since I was 2 (I'm 71 now) at my grandmother's.It was a family affair every fall. Aunts, Uncles, cousins everyone. The little ones pierced the casings with needles to prep it for drying. When you got old enough to turn the crank on the grinder, you just knew you hit the ultimate honor.
18 pounds ground pork (50/50 pork and venison is great too.
1 cup whole fennel seed
3/4 cup paprika
I/2 cup salt
1/4 cup crushed red pepper
Grind 2x with a 3/8" plate.
I used 2 tablespoons less salt this time due to a reduced salt diet, but it was still great
It helps to add 2-3 cups of ice water When mixing. I like to put the spices on the chunks of meat before the first grind. I think it helps blend the spices better.
I'm also going to try making snack sticks with the same recipe tomorrow. Going to add some cure #1 and stuff into 18mm sheep casings and throw in the smoker. I tried a small batch a couple years ago. It was good, but I'm going to try to improve it. More to come.
Enjoy.
