Hmmmmm, crushed pineapple in brats...who'd a thunk that.....looks like a good days work

I'm interested in how this would turn out.  I bet the pineapple would add a nice flavor zest to a brat.  I'd love to try one.   If you ever talk your dad out of the recipe, send me a copy.  Looks great.

Hmmm... (and Yummm)... looks like if you wanted to, you could put a little store out in front of your farm and have a nice little business going, even if it's just for the weeekends.

There's a family farm near my sister's house in PA that has a little store to sell their meats and other farm-fresh, home-made goodies. I stop there almost every time I go to visit her. They have their own "secret recipe" marinated meats that can't be beat! I can tell that there's soy sauce and garlic in the marinade, but I haven't tried to duplicate it...at least not yet.

It just doesn’t get much better than homemade brats and sausage.  My father-in-law in the Michigan Upper Peninsula makes a pork/beef smoke sausage.  It is honestly to die for but I fear the recipe, that he keeps well hidden inside his brain, will pass away when he does.  Even the recipe for the smoke is a secret.  I do know a corn cob is involved.  Keep up the good work.  Loved the pics.

Man that looks awesome, but you know you can't talk about an great recipe without sharing. I'll be your best friend !

I gotta admit I've been thinking about and talking about pineapple in sausage ever since you posted it.  Then I reread your post.  Pizza sausage sounds awesome too!

That is wonderful. What kind of casings are you using?

 

[zahlgren]

Pork casings

Like Lazarus and JC....

Can anybody give me a difinitive answer on pineapple brats and how long they can be stored without the pineapple causing the meat to go to mush or wreck the casings? I am wanting to make a bunch of flavored brats and freeze them for summer use, but I dont want to waste a bunch of meat and time.
