Making a Ham kielbasa (first try)

What it seems like you are looking for is Kielbasa Szynkowa (Shinkova). The folks that sell this stuff describe it as the best of both Kielbasa and Ham together.  http://www.sweetpoland.com/componen...id=281&flypage=flypage.tp-ecommerce.tpl&pop=0 

The Polish sausage making website describes it as chunks of pork and ground pork that is mixed separately with cure and very basic seasoning, then mixed together and smoked like Ham. Not the same as above. So, basically I can't find a recipe only a description.

My suggestion would be to add cured fully cooked ham chunks, small enough to fit through your stuffing tube to a raw Kielbasa recipe. Course grind the raw pork butt, mix in cure#1 and seasoning then rest over night. The next day, grind a second time, finer, mix in the Ham chunks then stuff your desired size casing and smoke the whole deal. Follow the Kielbasa directions. The cure in the ground mix will have zero affect on the Ham chunks because they are already cooked and the cure has been absorbed by the Kielbasa mix. I use the recipe below as it is most like what I grew up eating with my 100% Polish parents and grandparents...JJ

Well chef, I do not think that is what I want, raw pork mixed ham.  A local meat market in this town sells a double smoked cherry wood ham kielbasa that is beyond delicious.  It is deep red in color

A Ham Mixed with Kielbasa meat is not what I was planning to make, Chef  A local store sells Cherry Wood Smoked Kielbasa that is beyond delicious.  See it on the last line of their flyer, pictured below.  Something akin to that is what I am trying to make.


So I am on search for something like that

On a footnote, I do not have stuffer, I use my grinder to stuff sausages.  The only caveat will be the fact that plastic device that supports the auger will be the thing that determines the size of chunks I can use, which is not at all large.  I do not know what size the grinder I have is, it says nothing in the documentation of it size.  I do have Kitchen Aid food grinder here, I have taken my stuffing tubes and put them up against that, they are the same size as the tub, but the nut will not screw on, as the shaft size is too big.  That I will have to figure how to make a video to show you..

Yes Boykjo, I did get your spice mix, thank you.  I have yet to use it. 

I guess I am going to have go yo Uniqpol and get some of that cherry wood smoked ham kolbasa and take some money shots, then post them here.

So does it actually contain cured cooked Ham? The add does not mention it and it uses the Russian spelling. There is a Double Smoked Wedding Kielbasa (Kielbasa Weselna) that has that look but no Ham in that either. So I really have no idea what you are trying to make. Sorry I could not be more help...JJ

Yes it does have ham in it.  This week we are short on funds, other things going on and such or I would go get some and give you a money shot.
