They are working great! They're stronger than I was expecting they would be too. Thanks 

  I just finished stuffing the Kabanosy. I figured I might as well save the best sticks for last 

   Now it will be natural casings for the last two sausages...

Awesome post Smoking B! Great inspiration and tutorial!

I gotta know something.

Those veggies, you ground them in your meat grinder?

And... I remember you saying you were patient... You got tired of waiting, you're gonna make sausage balls, aren't you? ;p

 

[diggingdogfarm]

Looks real good!

Thanks Mel 

Yup I ran the taters & onions through together for the Varmlandskorv then ran the sun dried tomatoes & onions through together for the Sun Dried Tomato Apple Chicken Sausage.

Actually I saved a lb of the ground pork to make a fatty & a 1/2lb for breakfast but the breakfast isn't written in stone & I  HAVE been mighty curious about sausage balls...

Thanks Jimmy!  I figured if I made a bunch of stuff it would help me get my MES broken in & properly seasoned

I had to eat some soup before I made the last sausages. I was starved & it was way too hot so I had to drain the broth into a different bowl so they would both cool faster - Like I said, I was starving

Soup was really good though once everything cooled enough to be able to add the broth back...

Anyways... Moving on...

Nope - none in there. I was too hungry & had too much other stuff going on to make them.

Thanks Dave!  I am starting to get a reserve built up in my freezer 

  I can't go back to store bought after "crossing the line" & making "REAL" sausage  

   I don't have as much left as you might think though - I've sure been eating a lot of it
