It wasn't too bad... Now if I can get my wife's bread making skills up to par with yours...

Nicely done! Cleaning up the equipment is the worst part of sausage making for me.

Yes, Doug, clean up is the worst, but I've already told myself that it's just part of it. Besides, I get Sheila to do most of it...

I was looking for some Italian tonight , but I was out . Found a pack of Andouille from a sausage maker pre mix , so I made that to go with some garlic pasta .
Supper over and all cleaned up , my Daughter says " I love that sausage " Lol .

That's funny in that we had spaghetti for supper tonight and I used some spicy Italian that I made last week, but didn't post about. It was a touch too spicy for the kids, but the adults in the zoo loved it. I used this recipe, 1305g ground meat, and added 2% cayenne, or 26.1g. Next time I'll reduce that to 1%...

...
but they are natural hog casings by Oversea Casing. Salt packed and I've had them soaking for a couple of weeks, changing the water at least every other day. To this greenhorn, they were aggravating to get on the tube, but I managed.
...
One more question, how do you guys get those nice, even links of fresh sausage?

Very familiar with Oversea brand and they need a lot of preparation. The tissue strings on outside of the casing is called whiskers and they really mess up a stuffing. Message me and I'll help you through the easy preparation of casings.

I'm the bread baker in our house. If I want it done right ... Don't ever repeat that to the other half.
Finally found the recipe my wife likes.

Also - if you want lean pork, loins are on sale at my Food Lion 1.79/lb (Rock Hill), 1.99lb in Camden so probably the latter for you
