    Joe Hell What is your opinion on the Nitrite? That recipe is way older than even me

    Chef unless you are smoking the sausage I don’t see the need. I don’t use it in my fresh brats anyway.

        Oh baby, is there a way I can pin this recipe somewhere so I can come back to it later?

          Ridley Acres Just click on the three dots right of the vote up or down. Then just click on bookmark.

          I find this to be a great feature.

              Per a request, Here’s my recipe for about the last 45 years.

              60 lbs ground pork, Butt
              2 cups Sambuca
              1 cup anise seed, ground
              1 cup fennel seed, ground
              1 cup granulated garlic
              1 1/2 cups Kosher salt
              1/8 tsp Sodium Nitrite, I dissolve in the water for better mixing
              1/2 cup ground black pepper
              6 cups ice water
              1/4 cup oregano
              1 Tbs allspice
              1 Cup ground coriander
              For sweet (mild) sausage: I do grind the seeds and add everything to water prior to mixing with the meat.

              For Hot/Spicy Italian sausage, I add about 1/4 cup of crushed red pepper flakes and about 1/4 cup of Smoked Pimenton Picante Hot Paprika by El Angel. It seems to be a consistent heat level.

              Not sure if the Nitrite is really necessary, but in much earlier days, small Italian markets went to the safe side.

                      Chef sounds good. I’ll give your recipe a try this hunting season. I usually add some light beer when I’m making things but not to the recipes. My old buddy has a very good recipe but he hasn’t given it up just yet. He’s in his eighties so if I don’t get it off of him soon I may never get it! Lol

                        yobutt182 It’s a shame that so many recipes have gone needlessly to their grave because of a attitude that I just don’t understand.

                        Try the one I posted and let me know what you think.

                          Chef I agree Chef. He will leave his book to his kids but I don’t think that they’ll use it much. I’d like to have the mix but that’s his choice. He did give me his stick mix so all’s good and maybe he’ll give it up. I’m probably going to have some meat soon as our season start this Saturday. I’m going t make a half batch with my first deer.

                                Chef My wife tells everyone that she had to marry me in order to get my grandmother’s sugar cookie recipe for Christmas cookies. It is not quite that much of a secret and it is in our family cook book so it will be passed along.
