I removed the bone from each butt & cut them up into big chunks. I put them in the freezer to stiffen up. While this is going on I need to run down to my shop & get a little work done

[linguica]

Very appetizing so far. It must take special talent to accomplish so many varieties at the same time. I have a lot of trouble doing 1 thing and getting it right.

Lol I'm used to having to juggle several things at once - you get used to it after awhile...

Looking good!

Nothing looks so purdy as the meat out of the grinder.

Then when we mix it into sausage, it aint so purdy anymore.

But it sure can taste good!

Good luck and good smoking.

 

[linguica]

When the mix is ready to encase, is a fry test in order like when making bacon?

 

[venture]

Sure.  Do the fry test.

But we freeze most of our sausage.  Only two of us in the house.

I have found that sausage out of the freezer will loose a lot of that "zing" we get out of the fresh fry test. Even when vacu packed.

For that reason, I spice my sausages more heavily.  But only because I am seeking the right flavor out of the freezer.

Everybody has to do their own thing.

Good luck and good smoking.

[dirtsailor2003]

I"d much rather have some hot Italian and Kielbasa rather than this oatmeal and yogurt I'm eating for breakfast!!! All those sausages look great!!
