Hello, Happy New Year Everyone---Sausage Recipe?

[rosem]

I have not posted in ages. I did get one gift that I can't wait to use...a meat grinder.

Does anyone have any good tried and true sausage recipes...interested in italian, kielbasa,chorizo or whatever you have tried and liked.

Thanks

Haven't tried making them yet but two books you need to get....

Charcuterie by Michael Ruhlman is the one I have read from cover to cover and everyone tells me is the best. The other is Bruce Aidells Complete Sausage book. I consider these the two bibles for making charcuterie at home.

Charcuterie is my latest fixation so it's what I am starting to work my way through. I have a whole hog belly that I am getting at the winter market this Saturday to cure. Plus he's brining me all sorts of weird cuts from the hogs he took to the butcher Friday to start making up some sausages and such.

Thank you, I'll be sure to look for these.

Sounds like you will have a lot to do with a whole hog belly.

I'm very interested in starting on this venture and dreaming of making the best, freshest sausage.
