Welcome from Colorado.does a cured sausage have to be smoked or can you just freeze and properly cook before eating?
Excellent point. I've never put cure into fresh sausage but as you noted, there's no reason not to if that's what you want to do. I kinda got the impression that the OP thought it needed to be done versus doing it because he wanted to do it.So there isn't a reason not to do it , if that's what you want to do .
Me too. I have a chicken parmesan sausage recipe I've been aiming to add some cure to. I think it'd be really good.Chopsaw, I like the idea of cure in fresh chicken sausages......I'll try that...
I bet that's good . I have an Italian herb and cheese from TSM . Uses Romano and motz cheese . Dry white wine for the liquid .I want to make the Italian Chicken Basil, Asiago and sundried tomato
Thank You Richie, I thought so I separated and froze not having the time for smoking. Whole reason for even maybe rushing this I found out that a person passed away and he was my go-to for sausage. It was a spur of the moment/motivation to doing this. Thanks for the reply LJBYou can freeze it and cook it any time you want.

I've made the fresh breakfast sausage before mainly wanted to use cure to see what the taste difference would be. Thanks for the reply LJBI add cure to a lot of fresh sausage . Great for the grill .
Mostly to see what the taste difference would be. I've made fresh Sausage before without cure. I guess the bottom line just experimenting. I knew the cure salt would change the taste but didn't know what it would do to the recipe. Thanks for the reply LJBJust curious, why would you want to cure breakfast sausage? It is typically a fresh sausage that is cooked fairly quickly so there really isn't a need to cure it.

Nice good luck, unfortunately 2 sausage people I know in my area have passed with the last one a week ago today so no more shiggin. (hanging around and peeping) with hopes of picking up on something. Thanks for the reply LJBI get this sausage at our local food lion in the Raleigh NC area. Its a semi dried breakfast sausage.
Pretty off the hook stuff. Been trying to copy it with no luck......
Maybe to get Awesome Flavor???Just curious, why would you want to cure breakfast sausage? It is typically a fresh sausage that is cooked fairly quickly so there really isn't a need to cure it.
