    Sausage Making Equipment

    Aloha, I also have the Kitchener 15 lb stuffer from Northern Tool.  Great stuffer. The only reason why  I just picked up the LEM 5 lb. stuffer was that when I am trying to get the formulation right on a sausage, I find it more economical and easier to make 4-5 lb. batches of sausage.  Right now...

    Filipino Longanisa

    Aloha Friends, I'll be doing a few more tweaks to the sausage. I am thinking I will need to chop/dice some of the meat for this sausage. I tried running some meat through my coarse plate and mixed it with the rest of the meat that was ground on the medium plate. The coarse ground meat did not...

    Filipino Longanisa

    Chef Jimmy J The Longanisa I made is the type that is made in the Northern Provinces (Ilocos region) of the Phillippines, so it is heavy on the garlic and Vinegar.    Other regions prefer more salt and or other spices in their versions.  Some as you say have a sweeter taste  as well as a touch...

    Sun Dried Sausage ?!?

    Aloha Gene, Yes..in Rytek's book, he makes reference to meat first being preserved in the Saline Deserts of "Hither, Asia" and the coastal areas.  He also states that the desert salts contained nitrates as impurities.  So as you mention maybe the Filipino salt  has similar properties. But since...

    Sun Dried Sausage ?!?

     Thanks Everyone, I'm going to be OK just doing a fresh version of this Longanisa.  However, if I do decide to do a smoked version of this sausage I will be using a Cure.  I do have Cure #1 so I am good on that. Thanks for the offer Gary :>)   I won't be sun drying any version of this sausage...

    Sun Dried Sausage ?!?

    Aloha All, I have been working on a Filipino Sausage that is called Longanisa.  The version that I make uses a lot of Vinegar, garlic salt and pepper.  I've made it as a fresh sausage.  However when I speak to the old timer  Filipinos, who made it back home in the Philippines, they swear that...

    Farmer John

    Thanks for the leads Guys. My wife went to Seattle University some years ago and she loved the breakfast sausage that they served there.  It wasn't Farmer John's brand but it comes close to what it was.  We'd like a basic recipe to start from and try to reproduce the flavor she remembers.
