Provided by L. Duch

Categories     Pork

Time 2h45m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lbs fine ground chuck
2 lbs fine ground pork butt
2 teaspoons white pepper
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground mace
4 garlic cloves, pressed
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 1/2 cups water

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients, mix well and stuff into sheep casings (pork casings will work too, but will end up a little fatter frank).
  • Smoke for 2-3 hours at 115 deg or until a rich orange color is reached (you can freeze them at this point, until you want to boil them).
  • Then cook in water heated to 160-170 until franks float.
  • Cooking time depends on thickness of the hot dog.
  • You can simply just grill them as well.
  • Again, the yield depends on how long and thick your links are.
