THANKS
Got a sewing machine? Go to a fabric store and but a yard of 100% cotton fabric that feels as heavy as you want and cut a 14 inch square. Fold it in half and stitch across the bottom and up the side then stitch all the way back around and turn the bag inside out.. Make your stitching a half inch from the edge. Wash the bag before you fill it, dry it on a clothes line.

Maybe folded cheesecloth fabric would be o.k. too. More than 1 layer.

The seasoning is just salt and pepper, it's the cold smoke that gives it it's unique flavor, be sure to use cure!
Here's where I get my cloth bags:

I'd like to find out how this "Mennonite" sausage is made myself. I have seen and tasted many "Mennonite" sausages over the years, especially from Manitoba. Most of them were not unique or traditional to the Mennonite culture, they were just made by a member of that hard working and illustrious group. And Toolhawk be careful. US Customs and Border Protection issues hefty fines to people who enter the US with meat. We Canadians, on the other hand, can bring meat across our border from the US. So much for free trade.
