Cajun Smoked Duck Sausage
Last fall our boys bagged a huge amount of ducks. A good number of them ended up in our freezer and was taking up a lot of space. We finally decided to clear out the freezer by making this sausage to give to the boys for tailgating. They are happy. :-)

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Grind the duck, pork, pork fat, and bacon using the fine cutting blade of a meat grinder. Place in a bowl and set aside.
- 2
In a sauté pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion, celery, green onion, and garlic until wilted.
- 3
Remove from heat and add the port and cognac. Return to the stove burner and ignite the cognac with a kitchen match and allow it to burn off.
- 4
Reduce the liquid to about half the volume. Mix in the thyme and black pepper. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
- 5
Add the cooled veggies to the ground meat. Add the parsley, salt, and cayenne. Mix well by hand.
- 6
To check the seasoning, take a small ball of the sausage and form a patty. Fry until no longer pink. Allow to cool and taste. Adjust seasonings accordingly.
- 7
Stuff into sausage casings using the sausage attachment of a meat grinder. TIP: if you don't feel like stuffing your own sausage, you local butcher will probably do it for you for a nominal fee.
- 8
Smoke the sausages at a temperature of 175°F until the internal temperature is 160°F. You can serve right away or vacuum pack and freeze until later and just warm up on the grill.
- 9
TIP: a standard package of casings is usually enough for 50 feet of sausage. If you have leftover casings, do not freeze them. That well weaken them and make them prone to tearing. Drain them, and repack them with sea salt and store in the refrigerator. They will last forever. Natural casings aren't expensive but I just hate to waste anything.

Cajun-Inspired Shrimp & Sausage Cajun-Inspired Shrimp & Sausage
We love to eat this smoky, spicy shrimp and sausage with head-on, peel and eat shrimp because we're big on headfat and all the extra flavor you get from cooking the shrimp in its shell.But I get that not everyone is up to their food looking back at them, or having to work so hard to get to it, so if you end up going the peeled, beheaded and deveined route, you can reduce the amount of shrimp by half a pound or so.Or don't.Because this stuff is really tasty, and you'll probably end up eating it all at some point anyways. :)

California Farm Smoked Bacon Sausage California Farm Smoked Bacon Sausage
Old family recipe, sausage made from lean pork meat mixed with smoked bacon, boiled, cooled, then cold smoked. Made to be eaten in a breadroll. Ground Lean pork meat mixed with potato starch, shredded carrot, chopped smoked bacon fat pieces, spices, boiled, cold smoked and dried. The oak wood cold smoking method imparts the same flavor as smoking expensive fish like salmon or eel, so this one is called “smoked eel sausage”, a delicacy. Wrap in two halves of sour dough bread roll , eat like a hotdog.
