Yesterday i gave a shot at making weisswurst. Not my first sausage by far, but the first time i emulsified any. As you can see from the pic the results were condifence killing and gross. The food processor had to chug a little to keep up, but each part of the batch clearly looked emulsified. However the end result had a crumbly texture like i spent about two seconds mixing it by hand and that was it. Each batch ran about 5 minutes in the food processor and i had previously hand mixed the batch for about 5 or so minutes. I definatly had a meat paste when i slapped it all into the stuffer.
Not quite sure what went wrong? I already learned a 5lb batch needs to be done in at least 3 parts not 2 for the food proc. The only thing i can think is it just didnt mix long enough or maybe it got too hot while mixing. Now i've got 5 lbs of junk weisswurt and a frustrated angry desire to immediately try this again.
The recipe i used was from the Rytek book and i used ice water as well as kept the meat in the freezer between steps.
