Last year a friend and I raised a few hogs, which we sent to slaughter, and have been living off. It's the best pork I've ever eaten, and I'm glad I did it.
Thing is, I've been lazy, so I've yet to make bacon, sausage, or smoke a ham. Until today.
I've got two slabs of belly salted, and curing. They'll be going in the smoker Friday. Gonna straight smoke em in apple with a bit of hickory.
Picked up a sausage stuffer at Bass Pro today, too. I like the idea of making Brauts, and some summer sausage, but doubt I'll make any breakfast sausages.
I want to make some country style sausage. Anyone got any good recipe ideas?
Also, it's starting all over again. We're getting another 6 pigs this week. Oh yeah!!

It's different, isn't it? Way firmer than those floppy, supermarket pork chops. Great way to get your prosciutto, too.
My favourite sausage recipe has always been a simple, Tuscan style sausage: salt, pepper, coriander seed, and fennel seed. I am sorry I don't have my book with me to give you the ratios.
The spice kits I've tried have always been a disappointment in one way or another: too spicy, strange flavours, poor consistency. Far better to grab a good recipe book and have at it.

There are literally hundreds of web sites devoted to sausage making. I saved a half dozen good recipes, after lots of experimenting and adaptation. Ever since my stuffer crapped out a long time ago, we just have sausage patties at our house. I think they taste the same.

I don't hunt until after noon.
If a man says something in the forest and no woman hears him, is he still wrong?
