Re: Going to try making sausage
I find 20% pork a little too much, but it's all about your preference.
Mix your meat WELL, and when your tired and hands sore, mix some more!
Mix the seasoning in the meat before you grind, if you want a really fine textured sausage grind it again.
Are you going to cure or make frying sausage? I tend to leave out the cure and cook the sausage's from frozen when I want them.
I like to make one long tube and twist to the desired length dictated by tares in the skins and such.
Take a kid hunting its more rewarding than shooting an animal yourself!!
