MAPLE SUMMER SAUSAGE



Maple Summer Sausage image

Come holiday time these were a staple at our house for pre dinner snacking. Goes well with cheese and crackers or by itself, with cheese and/or crackers. Serves ten but as a snack by itself serves 5. *NOTE* this is not a brand new pan kind of recipe - for your pans sake, please use the butter or a cooking spray before putting the syrup in and try and dump out remaining syrup into coffee can or another non plastic disposable container as soon as possible, rest will come off with hot water if not let sit for too long *another note* the Liquid in the pictures is not grease, its extra syrup i didnt shake off lol

Despite only taking a few days, this comes really close to everybody's favorite gift-basket sausage and makes a great centerpiece to any charcuterie board.

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Meat and Poultry     Beef

Time P2DT10h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup diced celery
2 pounds freshly ground beef (85% lean)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons whole mustard seeds
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 tablespoons kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal®)
3 pinches cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon pink curing salt (such as Instacure™ #1)
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring
1 tablespoon cold water
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Smash celery into juicy bits using a mortar and pestle. Combine with ground beef in a large bowl. Add garlic powder, paprika, mustard seeds, kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, curing salt, and sugar. Mix by hand until thoroughly combined.
  • Transfer meat onto a large piece of parchment paper. Use damp hands to shape into a 3- to 4-inch-thick log. Roll up in the parchment paper, compressing it as much as possible. Twist ends tightly to seal. Place on a paper towel-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 24 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
  • Cut ends off the parchment paper and unwrap meat. Mix liquid smoke with water and generously brush over the meat. Roll meat back up in the paper, then again in aluminum foil, sealing it tightly and twisting the ends in opposite directions.
  • Line a baking sheet with a wire rack and place the sealed meat on top. Poke 5 or 6 holes across the bottom for excess moisture to drip out.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees F (66 degrees C) and no higher, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Let sausage cool in the pan until room temperature, at least 30 minutes. Give ends a tighter twist, then refrigerate at least 8 hours, or overnight.
  • Unwrap sausage and slice in half. Coat outsides with freshly ground black pepper, place on a plate lined with crinkled foil, and let dry in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality meat: Use fresh, lean meat for the best flavor and texture.
  • Grind the meat correctly: The ideal grind size for summer sausage is a fine grind, similar to ground beef.
  • Season the meat thoroughly: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic, and other spices to flavor the sausage.
  • Mix the meat well: Be sure to mix the meat and seasonings evenly so that every bite is flavorful.
  • Stuff the sausage casings tightly: This will help to prevent air pockets and ensure that the sausage cooks evenly.
  • Smoke the sausage at a low temperature: This will help to develop the flavor and color of the sausage.
  • Cook the sausage to the proper internal temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the sausage has reached an internal temperature of 155°F (68°C).
  • Let the sausage rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the sausage, resulting in a more tender and flavorful product.
