Used a hi mountain summer sausage kit.

Stuffed in mahogany casings with the grinder. It worked OK, but I'm getting a stuffer for the next batch.

Mmmmm  Quick! Somebody get me a cracker and a dab of hot mustard.

Thanks guys!

Its a bit salty and a little finer texture than what I'm used to , but it still fits on a cracker!

Been looking for a set of spice and cure recipes, think I might try breakfast sausage next.

They look great! Nice job stuffing with the grinder.
