This 100% beef pepperoni sausage is from 80% lean chuck beef which contains 20% fat and therefore does not dry out, and gets it pepperoni flavor and color from red paprika powder, fennel seeds, red cayenne and black pepper. It concentrates these flavors as it cures and dries to 70% of original weight. Never cooked or smoked, stays soft for a year.I add the optional truffle seasoning for a special touch.Pure beef pepperoni is juicier than pepperoni made from mixes of beef and pork, since pork hardens more when dried.

Easy Recipe, these sausages never burst because you warm the sausage in a 175F degree water bath in your oven, and precook 5 pounds pork shoulder and 1 pound of bacon fat and 1 pound of bacon rind to mix with fresh liver and then stuff into delicious spreadable liver sausages.Every family makes their own spice and herb mix, ours is pungent. I recommend to cut my herb and spice quantities in half, mix and then add more to your own taste. Liver sausage Spread is served cold with mustard and pickles on bread and crackers for sandwiches and appetizers.

I make Kielbasa sausage here with our own grass fed organic beef, use the fattest part of the beef, the 60% beef/ 40% fat round part of the brisket, with the hard tallow fat trimmed off to end up with 80%/20% lean meat and fat. Hand ground on coarse in the meat grinder, sliced, and handstuffed into half pound sausages. Cold smoked over oak wood on the barbecue.Once cold smoked, the sausages are laid in warm water to poach, this tightens the sausage casing over the sausage when hung to dry. You end up a very strong smoke flavored 100% beef sausage in a pork or lamb casing.

Boiled pork belly dices mixed with pureed browned pork liver and pureed boiled pork shoulder meat turn common liverwurst into famous Braunschweiger. ( pronounced like Brown Swagger).This family recipe is from my grandparents, it was made and used before refrigeration. By boiling the ingredients and then cold smoking, the sausage stays fresh, creamy, and does not spoil.My mother modified the family recipe when she got her first refrigerator, adding heavy cream to make them creamier, and kept the sausages refrigerated. I have listed her recipe here, it can be made in summer.I modified the recipe further when I got my air fryer, by cold smoking in the air fryer on the dehydration mode, see below.USDA rules say Braunschweiger must contain more than 30% liver by weight and less than 10% water. Our recipe complies.#GoldenApron

Pork sausages are usually 20% fat. Tea sausages are 33 % fat and are made from the most valuable parts of the porkmeat, the hams and the bacon. Served on toast and crackers and bread. An expensive delicacy, like french pâte.Here is how to make these at home in your food processor. Tea sausage stuffing is made with rum and blackberry syrup.

Braunschweiger (sounds like Brown Swagger) is a traditional, cold smoked german pork sausage that is spreadable on sandwiches. Made in winter when pigs were butchered and the meat could be kept cold and fresh. Here is my grandparents recipe from before there were refrigerators.The sausage is cured one day and then cold smoked and dried 12 hours on, 12 hours off, for 9 days. Stays fresh and spreadable till next winter. Worth making, a delicacy, far superior to factory made sausages with the same name.

Traditional precooked German sausage from meat or vegan mock meat, simmered in beer to be preserved, it does not need refrigeration or smoking after that.Cashew nuts have been identified as contaminated, do not use this recipe till cashews are secure.Any meat or mock beef ( seitan) works with this recipe, pork, lamb, chicken, turkey, veal are used most often. The lean meat is chunked, the fat, skin and leftover meat trimmings are finely ground and mixed with green peppercorns, seasalt and butchers salt, mustard seeds, mace, ginger, coriander and nuts.For the vegan version, I use seitan beef and cashew nuts. A great meal to have in your pocket if you go on a days hike, or bike ride, fishing, hunting, canoeing, camping. I make them in half pound portions. Fresh for two weeks.

The Dutch equivalent of US Walmart or Target stores is called Hema. They have become famous for their store brand smoked sausage, people even order Hema sausages in restaurants by name. They use rosemary ice water to make the stuffing, they smoke with oak and beechwood to get the nutty flavor.I dont have beechwood, I use oak and walnut and one drop of Wright’s Liquid Hickory Smoke per sausage. They use pink salt to preserve the sausages, it contains nitrite that dissipates. I do the same. Here is our recipe.

This is a very old family farm recipe to make a delicious meatmix called Spam that is used instead of meat. The special spice is medieval. It is called “nailgrit and rattlespice”. I replicated it in here from fresh ingredients.When a piece the size of a breadslice is fried in a pan, it develops a crispy crust with a soft meaty filling. Enough is made for the whole year when a hog is slaughtered in winter, packed in breadloaf pans till cooled, and cut to bread slice size. Individual slices wrapped and frozen, stays fresh till next winter.I ran out already this August, so I made 24 more pounds from an eight pound pork picnic shoulder. This recipe scales down well, so you can start with one pound of well marbled pork till your spam is perfect for you.
