Thought it was time to make another batch of Sweet Italian sausage. I thawed out one of the pork shoulders I had. Cut it up. Ended up with 7.9 pounds of meat. I set 1.9 pounds aside for a future meal.
For the spices:
3 TBS salt
2 TBS fresh ground pepper
4 TBS sugar
2 TBS ground Fennel
2 TBS garlic powder
2 TBS onion powder
2 TSP smoked Paprika
2 TSP dry thyme
2 TSP dry Oregano
6 TBS dry red wine.
All mixed together, smells good!
Made a test patty. Came out good. Now to stuff with hog casings.
Now drying on my jerky racks. I'm thinking about smoking half of them.
I'm getting better with the stuffer. No blow outs. And only had one air pocket. Has anyone smoked Italian sausage before? Your thoughts on it?
