Pickled Hot Sausage; looking for a recipe.

500

I've been in a pickling mood recently.  I found a hard boiled pickled egg recipe that I think I will like.  Still waiting on them to finish soaking in the brine.  What I'm looking for is like the Penrose hot pickled sausage that you would find sitting on the bar from back in the day.

I used to love hot pickled sausages as a child.  Haven't had them in years.  I'm interested in this as well.  Will be following.

Craig,....I have a friend from the low country who has made these on occasions. He uses a recipe he got off of the Internet which I have pasted below. He uses quart size jars and divides the brine equally to the 4 quart jars. 

YIELDs 1 Gallon

• 4 1⁄2 cups white vinegar
• 3 1⁄2cups water
• 2 1⁄2tablespoons dry crushed red pepper
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 3lbs sausage
• 6 bay leaves

1. Make brine by combining first four ingredients and bringing to a boil in a saucepan.
2. Cut sausage into equal sized links, approximately 3" each.
3. Place sausage and bay leaves into a sterilized gallon size glass jar.
4. Pour brine over sausage and seal jug.
5. Store in refrigerator for 2-3 days. The longer it sits, the better it gets.

never made them but ate plenty of pickled keilbasa. might be the easiest way with precooked for a trial run

I dug through the interweb and found this recipe, along with the blog entries where people tried it and adjusted the recipe to their liking.  This seems like a good starting point.  My remembrances of pickled sausage was a big glass jar of Penrose in local bars.  Great with a cold Old Milwaukee, as I remember it.  Some places had pickled eggs as well.

you might need some red dye to get it to look like the penrose   i might try that with the hillshire kielbasa but ours were typically 2 inch thick slices
