I cut up the ham and butt I bought today and mixed in the salt and cure. 13 lbs and almost 4 oz.

I saved the thick layers of fat I got off the ham, right under the skin. Stuck it in the freezer. Any idea what that can be used for?

This was my first time cutting a fresh ham. Lots of lean...

Speaking of tough casings on smoked sausages, what are some things you can do to prevent this?

I don't think my smoked sausages have tough skins - in my opinion - but I have a lady who loves my smoked sausages but complains about the tough casings. I'd like to satisfy her in this area but I don't...

Hobbyists/amateurs tend to smoke theirs sausages longer than do the commercial processors. The long smoking phase will result in a dryer sausage and a tough casing.

Yes, salting the fat will firm it up, but it will still start melting at 76-77C. So if you are smoking at 80 for longer than 30 minutes, you will have fat out and a crumbly texture to your kielbasa. If you are poaching, there is no reason to go over 65C in the smoker.

After checking the PH this morning I forgot to close up the chamber. The casings have definately dried out. I think I’m down to my final PH of 5.2 so I think I’m going to drop the temp down and bring the temp up to 90-95% to see if I can rehydrate just enough to get that bit of skin pliable

Then yes, spray with mist of water....I'd do so every 8-12 hours until they rehydrate, then allow the drying process to proceed.

Hello all,
I am in need of a authentic Portuguese Chourico recipe. I would like the real deal. My understanding is pimenta moida is a important ingredient and if so I would like to keep it a part of this sausage.

Is there anybody out there with a authentic recipe that you would be willing to...

So, I'm planning on doing 150 lbs over course of two days, 100 of a chicken recipe and 50 of pork. Cutting takes as long as it takes, and it will be a slog to get through all that, but it is what it is. I can probably fit in grinding into the first day, and then come back the next day and do all my...

Hello sausagers,

I'm looking to expand my operation away from fresh pork sausages and start using other animal products, however I know that not all meats are the same in how they behave when they are ground and mixed with salt. Does anyone have a handy dandy mini-guide to how long beef, lamb or...

Last post

Just mix until it gets sticky. Is 6.5% salt a typo?

YES. That was a typo 100%. I meant 6.5g per pound of meat, which some to 1.3%.

Pork Trim or Pork Butt for Venison Summer Sausage

Title says it all. Does it matter? I have some pork butts cut up and frozen or I can go get pork trim from the locker to add to my venison summer sausage.

Last post

If you are talking the 70/30 trim it won't matter but if its the 50/50 you need to back up and not add over 30% to the mix. The 70/30 makes a good sausage mixed with venison on a 1:1 mix.

Red, no actually garlic is at the front and the dill is just there if you're looking for it. The seeds worked well but as in the recipe posted I need to bump up the amounts of dill. I'm wondering how it will be with nice fresh dill weed instead of the dry.

It's that time again. I'm using one deer liver, 30% deer lean trim, 50% pork belly trim and one 375g pack of bacon. I posted the recipe last year. I'm generally not a fan of the Pate type liverwurst but this one is more course, but still spreadable. Yummy on fresh bread or crackers. Meat is cooking...

Like the Liverwurst there is likely a fair percentage of fatty pork in it to give it the nice smooth texture. Ed I'll try and find my deer liverwurst thread up to the front so you can write down that recipe. Its quite mildly flavored as well.

This season I had an abundance of elephant garlic from my garden. Not a true garlic, elephant garlic is actually a type of a leek. But it looks like a garlic on steroids and has a milder, less astringent flavour than regular garlic. Once cooked, it has a sweet and mild garlicky flavour. It works...

With venison its best to get them done ASAP, probably 3 or 4 days, maybe longer if it was well cared for

It's hard to see on the sausage maker site, but right at the bottom the $19.99 is for a package of 3, but that's still over $8.50 each Cdn before shipping and duty.
