Good evening,
Adding Dried Pear and / or Apple to a dried Sausage. Possible? Hurdles to overcome?
Thank you!
Nick

Won't hurt to try, but keep in mind that the fruit will dry at a different rate than the sausage. I would do a test batch in in narrower casings, like a 40mm hog, and see what they look like after a 30-35% weight drop.

I tried dried chopped dried apple rings in a fuet once. It was not a pretty sausage and had a strange taste. No one would eat it. Thank god I only made one as the rest of the non-apple fuet was excellent. However, I’ve added dried apple to fresh sausage and I really like that.

If the fruit is dried before mixed, would the fruit absorb enough water to have to be re-dried during the drying process?
