Re: Bauernwurst Recipe

Okay -- maybe this would be what I am reading online = a cured, and smoked form of Thuringer Bratwurst. The spice profiles I'm finding are typical of Kielbasa, and Klobasa -- S, P, G, AND Marjoram -- now the smoking woods used might be different than the slavic cousins, which could make a taste diff...

Re: Bauernwurst Recipe

As you might know, Bauer = Farmer. Would that / did that not help in finding a formula?

The herb 'savory' in sausage question

Howdy All Received a breakfast sausage recipe from a friend several years ago, and it includes the herb "Savory." I have never made it. Just ran across it again, a day or so ago. I used to grow herbs way before I ever thought of making sausage. I don't have any on hand. So, I need to go looking for ...

Re: TRANSLATING SAUSAGE RECIPES

Thanks for your input!! My guess was that it was a typo when they posted the recipe, and should have been 3 Teaspoons instead of 3 Tablespoons. I'm like you -- strooooong flavors here. I can't believe it was posted without being tasted. But I've run across dumber things online, too. Genealogy things...

Re: TRANSLATING SAUSAGE RECIPES

Thanks for the reply! I've been lurking alot, just not posting. Started a batch of beef bacon using briskets. And, I've just cut up 25# chicken thighs for several different sausages. Getting gifts ready for Thanksgiving when I go up to my mom's in Kansas. She's got a great-grand that she's only seen...

TRANSLATING SAUSAGE RECIPES

Hello All, especially RedZed

When using google or bing translators from Czech to English, or German to English, when Kmin or Kummel, or its derivations go thru, I almost always get Cummin. Shouldn't this actually be Caraway?

Re: Should I dump it?

First thought -- add a bit of sugar. A Second thought -- freeze it until you have meat for another batch, and blend the two, and season carefully. A version of this is to freeze a portion to blend into another batch later, while keeping a portion and blending it now. You get the idea. Hope this help...

Venison question

Hello All Have a question regarding venison in sausage, like Kielbasa, etc. I had 7.5 lbs of hind-quarter venison meat and 2.5 lbs brisket fat trimmings that I cured with #1, and all the salt for two days before grinding. (I got excellent bind doing this.) I then added the S/P, garlic and marjoram, ...

Marianski chart of spices suggested uses in grams

Hello Fellows I have misplaced my marianski book. He published a full list of herbs and spices, and suggested amounts, for making your own formulas. Is it posted on this site? Can somebody point me toward the link? Or reproduce the list in a response? I typically make 2.25kg /5 # batches of sausage....

Hey SausageManEric

The salt is what help the reaction with the myosin protein to make the sticky bind. So, I would say yes to that.

Quote: You will also have a better natural bind if you cube your meats, mix thoroughly with salt and curing salt, pack into a closed container and cure in fridge for 48 hours. The meat will absorb the salts during this time and and the process of extracting the myosin will be well on its way. After ...
