How long do you leave in the brine before they are perfect.

Cool brine. they aren't processed. They should be ready in 7 - 10 days.

I keep them refrigerated.

Looks good! I'm always pickling something. A couple of things I've learned through the years. If you boil the brine and pour it in hot. You get better/faster penetration into the meat. And to get them ready in a few days. I vacuum seal them in the mason jars. They are still not shelf stable though.

Sometimes get a little greasy with hot brine....

Cool brine works just as well for me.

Thanks for posting your sausages Bill. It's a reminder for me that I need to do some more of these. It's been a while.

Wait! You can pickle sausages?

What kind of deep magic is this?

This gives me an idea. I haven't done sausage and eggs in quite some time.
