Today we've had our first attempt at making English style sausages. Take some good quality pork, with some fat in it, otherwise they'll be dry and horrible. Cube it and grind it with a course grind, add some rusk and seasonings... Add force into hog casings (there are two grades here, one is salami or haggis grade, the finer one sausage grade) - amazingly we could get these from the Co Op Konsum in Hoor. The result... I think we surprised ourselves with how easy it actually was to make them. Tonight is the real test, though, when we eat some of them.

Well done you Did you use a 'sausage maker' or funnel & wrong end of a wooden spoon jobbie ? Back to top stephen Site Admin Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 5070 Location: Billinge, Skåne, Sweden.

The hardest bit was putting the casings onto the stuffer in all honesty - the actual stuffing was quite easy, providing you filled it one sausage at a time Back to top George Joined: 14 Apr 2005 Posts: 5661 Location: London Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2006 4:18 pm    Post subject: Wow, aint you clever boys, I hope it tastes fabulous Back to top stephen Site Admin Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 5070 Location: Billinge, Skåne, Sweden.

A seperate gadget - or can you get an attachment for the Kitchenaid ? I know you can for a kenwood chef which is similiar, just not so pretty (thinking in advance for when the Kitchen gets done, which is as soon as my car is sorted out I'm told! won't hold my breath though) Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         The Poultry Keeper Forum Index -> Recipes All times are GMT + 1 Hour Goto page 1, 2  Next Page 1 of 2 Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
