Last Saturday I made yogurt and you can see my post on yogurt making here but on Sunday Phil had requested that I make more sausage. Phil likes the second recipe that I posted on this blog post. It is quite spicy.
I had place a nice big pork shoulder in the refrigerator a few days before so it would be thawed and ready. I was determined to remember to take pictures this time and I did....until the battery in the camera died anyway.
Don't let Phil's hands fool you, he was only putting meat in the grinder while I took the picture. I cut it up and ground it and then went to put the spices in and found we were out of brown sugar so I had to make my own by adding molasses to regular sugar.
I made it a bit spicier than it called for because my last batch wasn't spicy enough. Then I just made them up into patties and put 4 patties each in a quart bag.
There was 9 lbs of sausage and it made 25 (rather large) sausage patties. It is a bit spicy this time but Phil thinks it is great.



Hi Becky! I bet that sausage is delicious! I really like grinding my own meat, just wished I could 'grow' some pork and beef! Spicy sausage is good, especially in that Ro-Tel dip! Thanks for sharing! Blessings from Bama! (I tried to leave a comment on garden shots yesterday, but it wouldn't let me.)
ReplyDeleteBecky,
ReplyDeleteThe sausage looks amazing, some where down the line I'm hoping to pickup an
old fashioned meat grinder.
I like the fact that you adjusted the spiciness to suit your tastes. Recipes should be guidelinse only; not mandatory. Of course I would want to make chorizo or something similar, with paprika, chilli etc! :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks really good. At almost 6 oz each.. Those could be served as "burgers" on a bun!
