Whipped up some fresh sweet Italian sausage using the rytek kutas recipe..... instead of regular sugar I added turbinado sugar.....
stuffed the other day and had 7 blowouts in a row. gave up and put back in the fridge to try the next day. Soaked the casings over night and had better luck. for some reason the fresh casings I bought usually come in a salt water brine and these were in all salt. I think the water leaked out of the package. I never had a problem with blow outs. I always can pack my sausage pretty tight.
For the really bad news.......no smoke on these sausages... grilled only.......yeah,
had to get them done fast to get the family fed due to lack of time......
casings soaking. They never look this small
casings soaked for an hr +
shoulder ground and seasoned overnight and packed for stuffing
sausage stuffed
on the grill
green peppers and onions
plated with some sweet corn and some cucumber and tomatoes in Italian dressing...
Sausage was just like you get at the fair...... will be playing around with the recipe.... you know me... used a 7mm plate. will go to a 4mm plate next time and make it a little leaner next time. the recipe said 1 tbs sugar. might cut that in half next time and it seems to be missing something but it did have some really good flavor......
Thanks for looking
