    2 votes

    Ingredients

    • 3/4 Cup of Salt
    • 1/2 Cup Sweet Paprika
    • 1/2 Cup Black Pepper
    • 1/4 Cup Fennel Seed
    • 1/2 Cup White Wine ( I use Chablis)
    • 1/2 Cup Red Pepper Flakes this will make a medium hot sausage

    Directions

     Homemade Sausage baked in the oven with roasted potatoes (see recipe at the end)

    ( Recipe for Sausage):This recipe uses 25 to 26 pounds of pork shoulder, which creates about 24 pounds of sausage, have the market grind this for you or if you prefer you can use ground turkey in place of the pork shoulder. This recipe can cut in half also.

    Hog Casings (Prepared As Instructed Below)

    Flavor suggestions:

    Make herb flavored by adding minced garlic, parsley, oregano and basil, usually a 1/4 cup of each to taste.

    Prepare the hog casings the day before by soaking in water with a little orange juice and salt. Before using, rinse well and cut into pieces 18"- 2' long. Keep the casings in warm water to keep them soft and flexible. You will need a funnel tube and stuff by hand or buy attachment for your industrial mixer sausage attachment.)

    Mix all the ingredients together, usually we mix by hand, until well combined with seasonings. Put casing on the funnel or machine and stuff. We usually freeze most the links and you can use this making many other Italian recipes)

      Claudia, you inspire me! I worked in a pork processing plant for years where my job was to cut and package sausage; hot Italian, mild Italian, beef (bleh), breakfast links, pork links,etc. I would always try to hang around the guy who was making the sausage blends, but he would never reveal the secret recipes (jerk).
      Thank you so much for sharing this. My next purchase is going to be the sausage stuffing attachments for my KitchenAid. Woot!! A new project (toy).

        Claudia:
        This sounds very good. Several years ago when I started smoking foods I went on sausage making binge. This recipe is a bit different than most. An interesting touch in adding orange juice to the casings. I have never seen this before. Is there any particular reason for it? Like Emeril says--Pork fat rules. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

          Italians make interesting herbed stuffed sausages, lots of flavor, I still remember them tasting it raw, which is a no no just to see how much salt it needed, that just scares me to death thinkiing about it, so unhealthy to eat raw pork, dangerous1!
          The recipe should never be tasted raw... but who knows back then they didnt know better I guess and therefore the perfect seasonings were born! .... thanks for your comments.
