Hi all, I recently bought a whole pig to can and make sausages, Inspired by Laura,s youtube video on sausage making that I watched last year, at the time I attempted to make them but they didn't turn out very well, so decided to have another go as I love sausages and cant get decent ones.
Second attempt didn't go to well either, were not to my liking, sausages shrank when cooked, lost a lot
of juices, so were very dry to eat.
third attempt turned out much better, used fresh herbs from my balcony, sage, thyme and chives mixed with, by weight 50% pork fat 50% meat put into natural casings that I bought online, the butchers here charge way to much for them,
They turned out very well, didn't shrink much when cooked and tasted delicious. Takes a while to make but it is worth it in the end. :)
Anyone else making making sausages or have any tips?
