Jalapeno cheddar sausages

[DougE]

About 2.5kg ground pork butt ground through a 4.5mm plate.

Spices/cure

Diced jalapenos

Tilamook sharp cheddar

Mixed up till it's nice and tacky

Stuffed in 32/35mm hog casings (yeah, there is a blowout there, but I culled that one).

After an overnight rest in the fridge, smoked for color with a blend of cherry/pecan (50/50)

Into the SV for the finish.

I won't post the exact recipe since it was shared with me privately, but I've done these several times and they are awesome! EDIT: Recipe posted in post #6 (with permission).

That’s all some nice work. Great looking sausage. Sure hoping you get a chance to build a smokehouse, this year?

Thanks! We'll see on the smokehouse build, but I really need to do it.

You're more than welcome, David. It's a really nicely balanced recipe I use often.

I wonder how using CANDIED jalapeno would taste?

I have almost a dozen half-pint jars of candied jalapenos just WAITING for a use other than on top of crackers/cream cheese!

I dunno, try a small batch and see how it works out.

Trade you some of my jalapeno jelly for candied jalapenos, lol

I am sure I read that, that is what some people add to their sausages

Excellent! I have been doing mine with canned diced japs marked hot, but there really isn't much heat. I've been aiming to do some with fresh diced.

I picked up the raw jalapenos and a block of Tillamook (?) today.

Now if I can amange to get them seeded/de-veined without putting my fingers near my eyes, I'll be golden!

Careful touching down low' too. Let's just say I have set myself on fire in places where it wasn't overly fun after handling fresh jalapenos lol.

Back when I used to make soap, I decided to make a menthol soap as it was summer and I thought it would feel nice and cool on my skin after showering.

Let's just say it wasn't so cool and leave it at that!

Probably shouldn't tell this, but a long time ago, I was fixing something with fresh jalapenos out of the garden. The meal was perfect. So, later on me and the wife go to bed and get to doing well, you know. She says, "I'm hot". I say, "yes, that's the whole point." She says, "no, not that kind of hot, I'm on fire down there". Well, I found the situation way more amusing than she did. A week or two later is when I did it to myself, which she found way more amusing than I did. Paybacks are hell! Needless to say, I always wear gloves when handling hot peppers.
