    Homemade Sausage

    I was told on another forum to use a cure and it would help with the color as well as the texture of the meat. The first sausage I did a week before when smoked on the grill turned gray and this batch turned red... or rather stayed red :smile:. I did like this batch better than the week before...

    Hot Smoked Duck

    I brine my turkey every year for thanksgiving. I only buy natural turkey so that I can brine. If I remember correctly, the others already have brine in them. All I use is kosher salt and water. I might throw in some rosemary, thyme, basil, and oregano but normally I cant tell a difference with...

    Homemade Sausage

    My actual first attempt was before I recieved the grinder and stuffer. I tried stuffing with a disposable pastry bag :wacko: I kept popping the metal tip off and having to fish it out of the casing :lol: This sausage stuffer makes it simple. I found some videos on youtube and got tips off...

    Homemade Sausage

    Venison sausage is one of my favorites, but I don't get to hunt as I don't have proof of Hunters Education. I would like to learn to make that, but will have to wait awhile. Also, talking my wife into letting me do that would be a huge ordeal...:ohmy: This is a fresh sausage ready to put on...

    Need uses for this sauce

    Not sure what kind of sauce it is, but Casa Ole has spinich enchiladas with a white sauce that is really good. Not sure if their sauce and yours are comparable, but you might try it. Michael

    Homemade Sausage

    I am currently at a standstill, my cubed meat is still at 40°. While I was waiting for it to drop, noticed my fridge is 49°. I keep it set at 33°, so I have been trying to figure out what is wrong. The freezer side is fine. I pulled the bottom grill off and there wasn't too much fuzz. Decided to...

    Homemade Sausage

    I'm trying my second attempt at sausage today. Last week it was really good, but there are things I want to try different. All I did last week was meat, salt, pepper, and cayanne. I also was on a strict time constraint as I also had briskets and ribs and ABTs and everything else to get ready...
