    first try on summer sausage

    Fried up a test patty. It was very mild to my palate. Im hoping the flavors will intensify between now and christmas day. Many of the posts ive read here have siad it will, so i didnt adjust seasonings at all. fingers crossed

    Cranky buzzard....i thought you were a tx boy? Mesquite makes some fine smoked sausage. we make 100lbs of venison-boar links every year. Cold smoke em for 4 or so hours with straight mesquite. Its a very unique flavor.

    Just gonna do the tried and true method of 120 with no smoke for an hour or so then add wood and slowly raise the temp over several hours never going above 170 until IT is about 150, then ice bath to IT of 100 then dry and bloom for a couple hours before an overnight stay in the fridge then package

    I got inspired by the summer sausage post here a few days ago. So i decided to try making it for the first time. I used the recipe below...but used about a cup of powdered milk and added cayenne and extra black pepper. I mixed everything last night and have it sitting in a tub in the fridge...

    Texas Sauage making

    More fat than any other sausage I've ever eaten. Have you been to those places? The liquified fat literally drips out of those links

    The main thing that sets smitty's and kreuz apart from the rest is FAT.  other than that...to my taste buds, they are just a bland version of german sausage....a little salt, a little pink salt, and a little pepper.
