Well the Amish Mustard eggs turned out great and have become a staple in the house. I have always loved pickled sausages and have seen a few good ones on here. I went out and bought about a 3 lbs. pack of John F. Martin smoked sausage and got to it. Looked around at recipes and ultimately just cobbled a few together lol, fingers crossed.
First up the hot pickling brine. 1 cup of water, 3 cups of white vinegar, 1 cup of Yucateca habenero sauce, 4 tablespoons pickling spices, 1 tablespoon garlic, 1 tablespoon red pepper flake and a couple tablespoons minced onion. Added 1/3 cup splenda once it was hot and ready to dissolve well. This stuff definitely clear your sinuses!
Sausage all cut up in nice big bite size chunks and stuffed in a half gallon jar. Couldn't quite get it all to fit. Looks like I will be eating that big link for supper :)
All covered up for a rest in the frig. Not sure how long to let them go before they are well pickled. Open to feedback from those of you that have done this before.
Well that's all for now. Will update when I finally try some. May wait until Thanksgiving. My brother in law loves this kind of thing and loves it hot. May break it out while the turkey is finishing its smoke.
