Bratwurst

[chopsaw]

Making some sausage today . Doing a batch of Coney Island franks .
Adding some garlic to the recipe , I took a play from " this old recipe " and pounded fresh garlic in my Mexican food processor . Then added a 1/4 cup of water and let it sit . Mashed up again and added to the grind . That's a great way to get the fresh garlic flavor throughout . Worked great .

Plus, I have a new name for my sausage - Knickers

Sorry, Knockers

One thing for sure ,,, if you have good Knockers , you won't need any Knickers .

The recipe I have for Bratwurst is for 82 pounds. Obviously, I’m not making that much. It calls for 10 Tablespoons of TenderQuick. The TenderQuick site says 1-1/2 tsp per pound , so if I’m making 10 pounds it’s 5 Tablespoons. This seems to be quite a difference. Do you know what I should use for my 10 pounds?

Weigh it out in grams.

To make measuring easier just add 1 Tablespoon TQ to 2 lbs of meat instead of going by teaspoons.
