My question is how long will, Cured, Cooked, And Smoked Sausage last in the fridge. Freeze and thaw does change the texture and some taste. I would like to keep the original as long as I can. Or what is the best way.

WOW CW That is a great tasting hip shot burger. Had to use 2% milk,that is all I had. I think I am being a little stingy on the fat. First time I didn't use salt or pepper. My patties are less then 1/2 lb. http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg561/grasshopper4552/100_1641_zps571597f3.jpg http://i124...

Finished the chubs today and it went well. Going to let the hip shot hamburgers meld over night in the fridge. Probably doesn't make a difference. http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg561/grasshopper4552/100_1638_zps7528523a.jpg White fat to the out side http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg561/gr...

The patties are a little big, formed in a lem buger press. The press is adjustable. I have never seen a smaller one. I use the lem plastic freezer sheets.

Keeping it simple, I made the breakfast paddy's. I did use rubbed sage instead of ground. They are in the freezer now. I also made 5 lb of garlic pepper chubs. I grind my meat put the cure in the water stir and add the spices to the water and make a slurry. Then make actomyosin. In my opinion it mix...

That is oooh so good. CW gave us no choice on #27. The jury is still out on the subject, I think.

On the breakfast sausage. The sage should be rubbed sage, almost positive. I used ground once and it was to strong. I also use this stainless gizmo to flush the casings. Used three stainless rods, weld the ends spread apart and buff. http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg561/grasshopper4552/casingfl...

CW Maybe I am calling it wrong. It was done at the U of M in MN. Consisted of chemo and a lot of other drugs for eight weeks. We did have Andy for an extra seven months. I really don't know if I would do it that way again. Took Andy in for twitching and found he had cancer. Never the same meaning, w...

I am in also. In my humble opinion, Project B2 got taken over by dry cured sausage subjects way to fast. I think we lost beginners interest because of it. Dry cured is the top of the line in sausage making. There is a lot that can be learned on the way up. For example not to many people will stick t...
