Fresh Polish Sausage

[Vermin999]

Made some homemade fresh Polish sausages yesterday and have been craving to try them ever since.

On the grill

In a foil pan a jar of sauerkraut, a beer and some onions along with the sausages.

While waiting for the sausages to simmer a while I made some potato pancakes too

Time to take them off.

Plated

Pretty darn good sausages for my first time. Not as good as my Grandpas, he was the sausage maker in the family. That is until my Dad wasn't paying attention and burned down smoke house.

Have some more sausages for a few more meals.

Looking good. I've been thinking I need to take up the hobby of making sausage. What's one more hobby, right?

Excellent job! Care to share the recipe?

Recipe is for 10 lbs ground pork. I used a couple of picnic shoulders because they were on sale.

recipe called for
5 TBS salt
1 TBS sugar
2 cloves garlic garlic
1 heaping tsp marjoram
2 cups ice cold water

Mix all ingredients well and then fry a little in a pan and adjust seasoning if necessary. Stuff sausage in 35-38 MM natural casing. Let set in fridge overnight before use. Use sausage within 3 days or freeze the rest for future use.

I had around 12- 13 lbs of meat. I added a little bit more salt, 6 cloves of garlic and some granulated garlic, a whole lot of black pepper and probably another tsp of marjoram. My sausage was very garlicky and peppery, just the way I like it.
