Never had anything BUT store bought summer sausage. Always enjoyed the ones form Swiss Colony but I have nothing to compare it to. I'm envious of you guys who just whip up a batch of goodness like that.
Garlic and pepper, now just hearing that how could it not be good?

Doesn't take much to join in on the fun! A grinder, a stuffer, some ingredients and casings and some meat!

If you don't mind me asking, what do you use for ingredients? I've seen and heard about some of the store bought mixes, such as the Hi-Mountain. I've never tried summer sausage but want to definitely give it a try. Your's looks great!

Making your own summer sausage is the only way to go. I want to try this recipe for sure!

I like using the LEM "trail belogna" kit as a starter for making what I call my spicy italian summer sausage.
