I wanted to make a fatty yesterday but was out of sausage. I decided I might as well make a couple kinds

Here is the butt that was used for the sausage. I cut it up, removed the gland & membranes & put it in the freezer to stiffen up.


A little while later it was time to grind...


I took 1 lb to mix up for the fatty sausage. For spices just salt, pepper & a bit of sage - similar to the recipe posted by Pops.


Mixed up & ready to be used in the fatty.


I also took 2 lbs to make some breakfast (actually anytime) sausage.


The spices are salt, brown sugar & a little bit of pepper.

Have to take off for a little bit - Linguica part coming soon...
 

The spices & cure #1 - the cure will allow me to cold smoke the Linguica safely

Here is the rest of the butt before mixing in the spices.


& after - getting some nice color.


Stuffer set up, casing on & ready to go. I let the casing soak in warm water for a few hours while I made the fatty & smoked it & some ribs & got some salmon ready to smoke

& here she is... Once the casing dries it will get a nice long cold smoke.


Here is how I store my unused casing. I put it in a ziplock & cover it in sea salt - it will make its own brine. I store it in the fridge.


& here they are in the MES last night for the cold smoke. AMNPS using oak pellets.
 

Back on my custom drying rack for a minute while I got ready...

Here's a good luck at the inside...


I couldn't wait so I had to try a piece with my meal tonight. Since I had the grill going I just threw a piece on there... It turned out good & tasted great but I will have a better evaluation after I eat some with my breakfast tomorrow...

Forgot to update this. I cut some of the Linguica up & mixed in with my eggs for breakfast & it was awesome!  Linguica is one of my several favorite sausages to make

  For some reason the pic I took came out all blurred up but the breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs with Linguica, garlic toast made from Roller's recipe & some of the fresh sausage - it was a really good breakfast & I'm sorry the pic didn't turn out
