Sweet Italian Sausage..
« Reply #-1 on: April 08, 2013, 06:42:54 AM »
May have posted this here once before. I forgot.

But we're out of sausage, and it's getting closer to grilled sausage and peppers season.  ;D
So I did a quick batch yesterday.

Picked up a 15lb package of Boston Butts at Sam's.
Cut up 10 lbs and ran them through the course plate.


I ran the remaining cut up pork through the fine plate. This was packaged and frozen for future sausage experiments.  ???


This is a recipe taken from a member at another site. His name is Martin and this is a really great recipe.
I made 10 lbs. Adjust accordingly.

Sweet Italian Sausage Americano

 2.2 lbs. well-fatted pork butt
 2 tsp. Kosher Salt (or to taste)
 2 tsp. Fresh Ground Black Pepper
 2 tsp. Crushed Fennel Seed
 2 tsp. Coarsely Ground Coriander
 2 tsp. Crushed Anise Seed (This is essential.)
 1 Tbsp. Dried Parsley Flakes
 1/2 tsp. Garlic powder
 1 tsp. Sugar
 1/4 cup Ice Water



NO CURE in the recipe. This is fresh. It will be made, frozen and then cooked on the grill or in sauces, etc.

I stuffed about 7 lbs into 29-32"mm Hog casings.


Closer look.


The remaining 3 lbs of Italian Sweet was packaged and frozen as "Bulk" sausage. My wife makes a killer Frittata.  ;D

Thanks for looking!

You have been busy!!  I need to restock my freezer with more sausages (of different flavors).  My elk SS is almost gone already.  My son took some to a shooting match last Saturday.  All his shooting buddies raved about it.  I think my son got a small taste, that's all.  But, he shot well.

Nice Art. I'm getting another cooler full of Elk meat this week.  ;D

I've been making it with the AC Legg mix lately. It's pretty good, a little salty but not bad.
