    Italian Cheese and Parsley Sausage

    DougE In my fresh sausages I haven't used a binder. In the ones I have smoked I use a binder and cure. The results have been good. It didn't have any milky taste and the texture has been nice. I am smoking in the electric smoker at 150 degrees and using a pellet tube for the smoke.

    Italian Cheese and Parsley Sausage

    Inda, Thanks, I have been trying for 25% fat, usually I pop in a couple of pieces of pork belly to get there. So lower the NFDM to 3%, I used 9% on the Jalapeno and Cheddar. I got the percentages from Chudds but I did think it rather high. The Kielbasa will be smoked. That's why the cure...
