Title: Breadcrumbs, casings and eating apples for sausagemaking
Post by: caracroft on September 18, 2013, 11:14:33 pm
Hi all my first pig is off to slaughter on Monday.  I want to make my own sausages and use as many natural ingredients as poss.

My question is the proportion of breadcrumbs to kg of pork mince? - i am trying to dry out slices of homemade bread at the moment on trays and wonder if i will have enough?

Also I have received my order for 16M of natural hog casings and wondered if anyone had any experience of how much weight of sausages they managed?

I am beginning to think I may have underestimated how much I need of the both. ::)

Also anyone have a recipe for pork and apple sausages using Eating apples as I have hundreds of them and feel I should use them with my pork?

Thanks everyone cant wait to give it all a try  :excited:
