Of all the things I've made in my kitchen, making my own sausage is one of the most fun. It's just so cool to have control over what goes in it, to watch how it comes together and to end up with a whole bunch of sausage that's all your own.

Love making sausage in my kitchen! So easy just like you said, you can control how much fat, flavor and spice go in there and now I can't even eat mass produced sausage. Got some in my freezer right now from last week's sausage making session :)
ReplyDeleteI’ve been trying to make sausages for a month now, but I still can’t perfect it. I’m going near the goal, though. :D By the way, in a month of practicing, I’ve learned that the liquid matters, as when you use red wine instead of white wine, the taste will be notably different.
