Couldn't help it.

Bought a jar.

Very good pickled sausages.

I use Hillshire Farms Beef Kielbasa when I make mine.

I need to buy some to try. Never have. Ran 8-10 batches and was OK but not really impressed with it. Best so far was kielbasa in jap brine. I will say the stuff I made (shotgun red derivitives) the brine was INSANE to use in BBQ sauce as a glaze.

Yup! I like that brand too. And the brine makes really good pickled eggs. Or, just put some lil smokies and a splash of vinegar in it.

These were right next to the Glazier Pickled Eggs! Together, thet make a deadly combination.

Looks like I can get Bay View stuff at Mendards. I am pretty sure the key to making these is the sausage itself not the brine. Brine probably takes on the sausage spice and not the other way.

TOP The brine in these is near mace level heat and spice intensity but the sausage does not take it in fully. Still tasty but not what I was aiming for.

BOTTOM the best I made, simply brine and some japs from a large jar and sliced polish.

If on the fence just dive in. Easy as heck to crank out. I got a little geeky with it and used vac sealer. Tried both hot and cold brines and think cold is better.

I’m originally from very northern new york. About 45 mins from Malone where these originated. By far the best in my opinion. Glazier hot dogs are probably their best seller.

A couple of weeks ago I did a side-by-side between Glazier and Hofmanns.

Glazier was the clear winner.

Best local in my opinion.

Tasted my first commercial pickled red hot yesterday. Not Zieglers but Bay View brand from Menards. No way you can make something like that without the heat being in the sausage first. Good stuff and yeah pretty dang hot.
