Man O Man it is a great idea i will tray it. my wife loves chicken Sausage 

Thanks for sharing

 

[smokinjoeb]

have you tried it with fresh mango?  Asian markets around here always have the fresh mango.

The fresh mango might create too much moisture for the sausage. I love fresh mango but with the other fresh items I think it would be too moist

Thanks Scarbelly, i was wondering about the moisture. sometimes the dried mango has alot of sugar, which i was trying to avoid w/ the Chicken sausage!

Hi

I am gearing up to make a run of these yummies, but when I went shopping for Mago I found sweeted and unsweetenedm sulfated and unsulfated in dried frm, as well as the frozen mago.  Can you be more specific on which you used, and at this point would you make any changes to the quantity,  2.5oz for six lbs seems small to me. 

Also how would you rate the moisture content.  I generaly find chicken sausage on the dry side, and wondering if you have any suggestions or commnts to keep these juicy

Thanks

I just checked the bag - Mariani Premium Mango 

To help with the moisture I keep a little of the fat and only use chicken thighs or legs 

Good luck and let us know how you like them 

 

[thebigz]

Thanks for the quick reply

These are a sweeted mango.

I am using about 10lbs of thighs and left all the fat in, but no skin (bought them skinless and boneless).

Are you happy with the quantity, or could you see adding in some more?

We have made them using this recipe for a couple of years and love to grill them as patties almost as much as in casings

Greetings Scar, Have you ever used fresh mangos in your recipe? If so how much would you use instead of the required dried mango? Thanks in advance.

Dang Scarbelly, these sausages sound and look great!

Another recipe added to the list.

I have used fresh mango and the moisture is a little bit of an issue. after slicing the mango I use paper towel to get some of the moisture out.

Big Z-

Sulfites are used as a food preservative or enhancer. If you had a bag of dried, unsweeted/unsulfated mangos, you would have the fruit in it's pure dried state-same if you bought mangos, sliced them and placed the slices in a food dehydator.

Sometimes in the processesing a sweetener is added to boost the mouth appeal of the dried fruit.
