Sausage making in Pennsylvania....(picture heavy)....

northGAcock

Mark @Sea2Ski and I got together for the secound year (same weekend last year)....to make sausage. I traveled up, and this year went much more efficiently based on my improvised expierence. A few pictures to share. We started last night with cutting the meat and doing our rough grind.

Breakfast and and then some measuring of spices began.

Great time had by all. Mark and Valerie are great host.

You guys are killing it. Making that much sausage is hard work.

@Jupiter Jim I was about to say where we’re all the invites...but I’m digging your thought process. Y’all do all the work and bring some in April. 

Looks great y’all.

You ever make any onion sausage? We worked out a good one adding onion to a variation of another sausage. Turned out excellent....but curious what others use (beside the pork and onion) in the seasonings.

Nice sausage.

Mark, Robin, I need to learn this trait! Also if it is as good as the sausage Robin gave me last year you are on to something.

Piney....love to have you....but I ain’t sharing my bed. Seriously though...it’s a great learning expierence. This being year two....we deviated away from standard recipes....and experimented a bit. So much for hitting it right down the middle of the fairway.....but who does that anyway. Mark has the tools and is a most gracious host.

If you want to try it out without investing much money, you can get your butcher or even grocery store to fresh grind your meat. You can use a pastry bag to stuff the casings. It’s not the most efficient way but you can get away with making 5lbs that way. If you like it then you can buy grinders, stuffers etc. 

Many consider this book to be the standard for starting out.

@RedSkip fyi, if you chose Lem equipment it pays to set alerts with camelcamelcamel.  I saved $ on the new model Big Bite #12
