5 pounds ground venison
2 tablespoons sugar-based curing mixture (such as Morton® Tender Quick®)
2 teaspoons mustard seed

SAUSAGE (MY GRANDPA'S HOMEMADE)



Sausage (My Grandpa's Homemade) image

My Grandpa used to make lots of goodies every year around Christmas. His sausage was probably one of my favorites. We would snack on it all day long with crackers and cheeses. Please keep in mind it's written on an old post card and it's not very descriptive, (he passed away in 2000 and I was never able to ask him about his recipes) so I did my best. If you ever try to make this and find a better way, please offer me suggestions. I have not made this yet, almost in fear of it not tasting as good as it did when I was little. I am thinking about making it this Christmas. If I do and I find the need to edit some things I'll do so as soon as possible.

GRAMPA'S CORIANDER TURKEY SAUSAGE



Grampa's Coriander Turkey Sausage image

My father-in-law is known for his Sunday breakfasts. Homemade sausage, fluffy eggs and tender fried potatoes and onions...yum. My kids loved spending time at Gramma's and Grampa's farm with the horses and other animals, and always came home talking about breakfast -- which was normally served well after 11 a.m.! (I have mixed all the ingredients together and fried right away -- tastes great, but don't tell Grampa!)

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pork: The quality of the pork you use will greatly impact the flavor of your sausage. Look for pork that is fresh, well-marbled, and free of any off-odors.
  • Grind the pork yourself: If you can, grind the pork yourself using a meat grinder. This will give you more control over the texture of the sausage and ensure that it is evenly ground.
  • Use a variety of spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to create your own unique sausage flavor. Some popular spices to use include garlic, onion, paprika, cumin, and fennel.
  • Cure the sausage properly: Curing the sausage is an important step that helps to preserve it and develop its flavor. Make sure to follow the curing instructions carefully.
  • Smoke the sausage slowly: If you are smoking the sausage, do it slowly over low heat. This will help to develop the flavor of the sausage and prevent it from becoming dry.

Conclusion:

Making homemade sausage is a rewarding experience that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little bit of time and effort, you can create delicious sausage that is perfect for any occasion. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try today!
