Looks good and nicely stuffed. Only small cubes and mix, no grinding?? Interesting.

Nothing beats fresh home made sausage!!!

Looks great. Reminds me of a sausage I had in Krakowie.

Cubed and stuffed, not ground.

These look great! Nice work.
I make a couple different sausages close to this but I only cube lean meat and I use about 1/3 of fat/fatty meat that I grind on the fine plate. Mine are also cured first then stuffed. Good stuff.

Here is the same recipe, but with addition of cure#1.
It was smoked 4 hours at 140F with apple chips. And finished vacuumed, in sous vide, at 176F till internal 158F.
