Hot Italian Sausage

[zippy12]

Not sure where I got this from but its GREAT! cut cayenne by 1/4

Freeze it for 1 hour turning after 1/2 hour

This was a double batch ... 2X water

smear (not good enough)

Seasoning spot on but a bit hot I used 1/2 cayenne

Real good smear!

rest over night ... time to stuff

Pack tight!

So if you look close the top half is stuffed
But the bottom 6 are PACKED.. just testing snap when cooked

This recipe is a keeper!

Also, not necessary, but you can invert the casing inside out to put the "strings" on the inside. you'll have a smoother link.....

I have seen recipes that use red wine instead of water. Anyone have an opinion on this?

I like the results of using wine . I like using a white wine in fresh Italian I keep in house to drink because I like the taste .
I use red in beef and venison ss . Just be careful with red . To much or to dark can color the meat .

The recipe I use calls for red wine, but sangria works.

Well The full stuffed ones were on purpose ... these casings had no SNAP but stuffing them full took the limp bite out...

Using the word "smear" when making sausage is not something to be proud of. You'd be better off replacing it with "bind".
