    just remembering

    When I found this site I was researching how to make bacon. I got hooked on sausage. Started out with my KithenAid mixer and it's attachments. That was not a pretty sight. Got a real grinder and built a water stuffer. Now I am happy making sausage a couple of times a year.

    Uncured corn beef?

    The salt does the actual curing. The nitrites protect against botulism and add the rosy color.
