How To Make hot italian sausage

  • Step 1
    hand trim fat from outside meat to your specs. Grind the meat- semi coarsely
  • Step 2
    After grinding, add all the seasonings & wine. I like to pour the wine into the spices, mix well & pour all over the meat, mix very well untill all meat has developed that orange color! May want to use hands, pull of wedding ring(s). make sure hands clean! please, I stress keep cool!
  • Step 3
    Either stuff into hog casings 33-35mm.. or freeze in 1/2# chubs. I form mine into small squares,wrap w/plastic wrap, then vacuum pack, most do not have this oppertunity so butcher paper is next alt. Enjoy the awesome smell as you are working!
