Got a couple of briskets for St Patrick's day as well...

Ground up some pork butts, combined with ground chuck (88/12), and cut in some pork belly for a final mix of ~70/30 fat to lean. Probably 60/40 pork to beef.


I did three separate batches- one emulsified, two course ground in my kitchen aid grinder. Passed all through the KA grinder course then fine plates, twice.

I agree, they opened a restaurant depot near me recently and I picked up three of those commercial baking sheets for something like seven dollars each I love them!

 

[pc farmer]

What casings did you use?

Followed this recipe with some minor variants including exchanging the mace for coriander in one batch and numeg in another:

All stuffed into 20-22 mm sheep casings from Spokane spice and a few in hog casings since I was sick of threading sheep casings on the small horn at the end...

Conclusions:

The batch I emulsified in my kitchen aid food processor was probably 10% higher fat so maybe 60% lean to 40% fat ratio was the best.

The other two were probably 70% lean to 30% fat and only coarse ground to make a old fashion style wiener. The taste was good but maybe a little too dry and crumbly meaning I need more fat in the course ground version .


Taste is really good but could use more salt and pepper and possibly more paprika.
