I have a meat grinder with the sausage stuffing attachment and I'm thinking of making homemade sausage... the kind in the casing.... or maybe some dried sausage like salami or something.
Anyone ever done that before?
Does anyone have any recipes... you know with stuff I can buy at the store or get from the butcher?
Thanks!
you have a meat grinder big enough for alfred?
that would suck, getting your meat in the grinder....
Oh was that outloud?
Okay... only two minutes until the crued comments started...
Someone ship me some fresh venison!!!!
Venison? Monday... 3 in 3 hours. Took longer to drive out there than the actual hunting and field dressing.
The one to the left field dressed out at about 280lbs.
Most guys who do there own sausage use a 50/50 ratio of venison and Pork. You need some fat content in the sausage. Double grind it. Grind the meats, then mix in the spices, then grind it again. Makes for a smoother texture. You can use lean beef if venison isn't available. The type of salt you use can effect your product too.
There are several receipe books out. You have to make several batches to see what you like.
I'd send you some, but current regulations mean you might get it in 6 months. It only takes 3 months to get permits to temporally import a gun to go hunting.
(resume crude comments)
This one looks simple
Depression Era Venison Sausage
4 lb Venison
1 lb Beef
2 lb Lean pork
1 lg Onion
1/2 Peck potatoes (about 4 Quarts)
2 tb Salt
1/2 ts Pepper
1 ts Allspice
Sausage casings
Grind together all the meats with the onion. Next grind the potatoes and mix them with the meats. Add spices and mix thoroughly. Use a sausage stuffer, fill casings, but not too full. Tie the ends with string; put into a large kettle of cold water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 1 hour, being sure to prick each sausage with a fork after boiling 10 minutes. Drain and cool. Tastes best when fried in butter till casings are a light brown. Many of the recipes in this collection did not contain amounts or oven temperatures.
Andy,
wild boars are such a problem that there is no season on them here. Lots of farmers want people to help remove them. PM me your address and I'll send you some information.
Maybe I can combine thread topics and make squirrel sausage!!!
trophy:
From ; Barber Dave to : Kellzey & GWN
from: OFFICIAL 914 Club Venison Sausage Taster
You are required by contract ( and in GWN"s caes) international treaty, to ship each of you, 5lbs of sausage to the 914 club official taster for his approval and seal.
Failure to comply with the above could lead to dire Consequences and severe mental disorders!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"AS IT IS SAID SO SHALL IT BE WRITTEN"
I use the basic depression receipe...except I don't try to use the casings...they ARE pig intestines....I just double grind the meats, onion, herbs and put it into foil and store it in small 1 pound pkgs...
Here in Missouri it is open season on wild boar...they really tear up the crop lands...so shoot them till the barrel melts down...but you better have one powerful rifle...it takes a big'n to knock them down and a few more to kill them....the tusks are pretty sharp.... and from experience... shoot from up in a tree...they can't climb too high... but will try and knock you out of the tree...hunting in the Ozarks is very good...it is currently deer season here... until the 22nd...

No, I don't have a recipe for that Goetta crap that they sell here in Cinci. Who else but the Germans would put oats in their sausage
Ken
In my life, I have killed 8,000 birds, 2 deer, and a wild sau.
When hunting pigs, take a rifle, 2 big sidearms, and don't be conservative.
Who's tasting who?

My Hungarian grandparents always used pig intestine casings for their sausage. Called the sausage hoolka (sp). Best sausage I've ever had. I got both of their hand grinders. Was hoping I could perform one of them "laying of hands" ritual on them & all the recipes would flow into me...
(din't happen)
Miles... was it a big sau?
bruce
Hummmmm......tube steak.
Not to be confused with the "tube steak boggie"
For those interested, info on wild boar hunting http://www.gov.mb.ca/conservation/wildlife/problem_wildlife/boar_at_large.html
Just have to check federal laws on lending a gun now.

I'd like to try a dried (cured) sausage like a salami or something. Seems like you can make it and dry it in the fridge!!!!
I'm thinking something that I can cut a hunk off and chew on with some cheese and crackers...

OK Karl
Pick yer poison....
We have recipies for salami: cooked, Genoa, hard, Kosher Style, Polish dry cured, and Venison
Ken
Lets try hard salami or Polish dry cured
Karl,
Lets go with the dry-cure. That Polish stuff requires hanging at 55-60 degrees for 6-8 weeks. In Florida, it would be green by then
