Coconut / Pineapple sausage assistance

[Cajun Smokes]

Been working on pineapple sausage lately. So far I am satisfied with the flavor profile but still looking for that next level. Just came to me, how would coconut taste in pineapple sausage? Seems logical, they are paired together all the time with satisfying results.
Here is my road block, how much coconut would it take to accent the pineapple? Also considering grinding the coconut to avoid the texture of long pieces of coconut. Perhaps a coconut extract? What are your thoughts?

Reach out to indaswamp he formulated a pineapple sausage and maybe he can help with the coconut

Wow. I’m not a sausage maker dude so I have no clue. Really curious how that turns out!

I had some bad luck making a smoked pineapple-hog sausage years back, casing popped. Never tried a fresh sausage after that. RAY

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around coconut and pineapple in sausage. What else is in it?
A couple of bumps in a food processor would mince up the coconut a bit.....

Now my imagination is taking over. What if I replaced the red wine in Italian sausage with crushed pineapple.....

Just have to be careful with the pineapple . Something in it can breakdown the sausage .
indaswamp can give you a better answer there , but I say why not . Be a good griller .

Actually smoking a small batch of pineapple sausage at the moment. Was just a thought, I like to try odd and different things. Inda does have a good post on pineapple sausage. That's where I learned about the problems with fresh pineapple if proper steps haven't been taken.

Just a thought of something like a tropical flavor. Coconut shrimp is pretty popular, figured why not.

Haven't seen anything like that before, sounds interesting though.

Not dissing it. You're giving me ideas :-)
I haven't heard anything about what else is involved. Pork? Beef?
You're not just stuffing pineapple and coconut.....

I prefer pork for this sausage. Indaswamp has a great post on this sausage.

Formulating a pineapple smoke sausage recipe....

I have been asked to come up with a pineapple sausage recipe. Friends and family enjoy my smoke sausage recipe and say it is very close to the base seasoning used by the Lil' Butcher Shoppe in Hattisburg Mississippi in their pineapple sausage recipe. Might have a go at a batch with some of the...

Yes it is. Not sure which version to try.
Let us know how the coconut works out....

 

[indaswamp]

Cajuneric used coconut liquor in his version which is basically the same as coconut extract as most extracts have 40% alcohol anyways.....

chopsaw - Those honey pecan brats sound interesting.....

Those honey pecan brats sound interesting.....

They were a surprise . Pretty good , but one was enough .
There's a local brew pub here called Urban Chestnut . They've really grown over the years , and now sell a line of brats of all different flavors using the beer they brew .

This sounds like a better option then chopped up coconut. I didn't want that consistency in the sausage. Hope to try it this weekend. Thanks Inda
