Fixed my Sausage!

[ThunderLund78]

Finally thawed my bulk venison breakfast sausage that I'd been second guessing and fixed it with success! The grind was just to course and I wanted to try and add some maple as well.

Before it even thawed all the way, I cut it into chunks for the grinder:

 

Put it once through the medium plate, quickly measured out a pound and mixed in 1 TB of Pure Maple Syrup:

 

Fried-up a test patty and the family all gave the thumbs up!  MUCH better texture and the maple was spot-on just right.

 

So I quickly added the maple syrup to the rest of the mix and put the stuffer through its inaugural run!  Shot-out a big tube of meat that I cut into uncased links.  My 5 year old ran the crank and laughed the whole time.  He's becoming quite the helper when I play butcher.  Put the links on a cookie sheet in layers separated by wax paper an outside on the porch they went to quickly re-freeze:

 

Tonight I vac sealed them and they're back in the deep freeze - MUCH happier with the product and glad I fixed it:

Nice job Thunder!!!

Could have a future sausage maker there Thunder!  The links look good.  I've done case-less links myself for the grandkids.  good luck.

The Curly's Southern Style Sausage is good, but the Maple takes it to the next level.

I will volunteer to strictly monitor the losers terminology throughout the week, on every posted thread. In the event of a miscue or addressing the person without the proper title, I will sound the warning alert horn, which Smurf already is familiar with, from attempting to hijack/mislead threads. Warning alert sound:

 

*WHOOP*WHOOP*

Yup, used the stuffer - Didn't have to, but I'm a newbie to homemade sausage.  I will be stuffing sticks this weekend and I'd never used my vertical stuffer (just got it for x-mas).  I figured it would be a great trial run before I actually try to use it with casings.  Plus links are handier than patties, I think.  I should've shot a video of my kids laughing as it was coming out.  I was laughing, too.  you're never too old for poo humor!

[smurfy]

OK my bad!

[Boar]

big walleye then?? or biggest nord??

[smurfy]

Why not both!!!

I ain't afraid of you!
