Sadly I am out of sausage so I needed to make some more. I picked up some meat when I went to Baltimore Wednesday evening - 4 butts, brisket, chuck, round & ribs so I am set for a little bit here. I figured I might as well use 2 butts for sausage so here goes...
Here are the 2 butts I chose to honor by letting them become sausages
Here is the first butt ready to be deboned.
& the second butt - it kinda looks a lot like the first one only different... sorta... maybe... Relatives perhaps?
I deboned both the butts & removed the gland & a few membranes then cut them into pieces to run through the grinder.
Here is what I ended up with.
I put the meat in the freezer to stiffen up & sanitized the grinder. I also put some casing to soak.
Here is the hog casing soaking in warm water. This will get changed a few times before using.
