Last year I made 2 recipes. The first was smoked kielbasa from Leggs old plantation mix which tasted like good hotdogs but not kielbasa but they kept well in the freezer. The second was a Len Poli recipe that used fresh marjoram That tasted great at first but had an off flavor after being frozen a while. Was it the fresh marjoram?I need a good solid smoked kielbasa recipe that will freeze well and not taste like a hotdog! Any help?
 
Got this from a friend. It's multiple generation old and direct from Poland. I grew up in NJ not far from a large Polish neighborhood that makes great kielbasa and being a 2nd gen Polish American ate the real deal that my Grandfathers made. This recipe is excellent. Per Shannons advice, I don't make more than will be eaten in 3 months. I have also heard, from Shannon, of fresh Marjoram getting funky and the reason he doesn't use it...JJ

WNC, I use dried marjoram in my recipe w/no funky taste BUT as Chef said it is vac sealed and used up in about 3 months. I would use a 4:1 ratio meat to fat or maybe even a bit fattier . Post your results and have fun making your sausage !
