Hi I want to steal all your best sausage making recipes, especially for apple and pork and pork and leek.  I promise to make very good use of them and to enjoy every mouthful. 

[Dan]

We've got a pig coming back from the butcher tomorrow, so we need recipes too! We're planning to make pork burgers this year rather than sausages in casings, but we still need some nice variations.

Last year I made white puddings and loved them, but Rosemary hated them, so they're off the menu for now.

Please post all your best secret recipes here so that I can unashamedly plageurise them.  I urgently need a decent recipe for leek and pork and for apple and pork sausages.

I found this interesting recipe for cumberland sauasages
Hi Angela,
How are the little ones.
Here is a recipe for Cumberland that works for me.
For each 1kg minced leanish pork (shoulder is good)
250g minced smoked bacon
250g minced back fat.
70g bread crumbs.
1/2 tsp. nutmeg.
1/4 tsp. mace.
1 good tsp. salt
2 tsp pepper.
2 tsp. cane sugar.
70ml water.
Mix all the ingredients together and remince.The second mincing is very important. Put through the sausage stuffer and Hay Presto, superb Cumberland Sausages

I only mince once, find the consistency becomes a bit too gooey otherwise, but thats just a matter of taste.  I only use 50 grammes breadcrumbs though so perhaps thats why.

Waiting, knife and fork at the ready!

Sausageking - just wondered if you had perfected your pork and apple sausages yet?

I am some what restricted here in France with my choice of apple and find that the crisper red gala does the job here. I am very interested to find out your ideal choice, since I am buying some apple trees to add to our cider orchard and would like to buy in cookers plus perhaps a better choice for the sausages.

Thanks

A little info on this subject if poss ladies and gents, I am looking for a reasonable grinder/sausage maker. £28 is my best as of now. Any sources/alternatives.

Cheers!

 I bought a betterware product that was supposed to be for everything chopping veg mincing and sausage making for about £30.. it managed - just; but boy it was hard work. I went the whole hog (sorry no pun intended- wife laughed and I realised what I had said) and splashed out on a mincer and a sausage press from weschenfelder, It looks the business. The meat comes back from the abbatior friday so I'll get to play with it then

Weshcenfelder! that is splashing out!

Having played around with recipies with my grandson, we came up with a couple of variations which he loves, maybe because he made them, but they didn't taste half bad. It proved to be a nice way to get him interested in the food he loves, made with our own pork and including things that he is familiar with from his lunch box.

Banana Sausages

Using  1k   x  pork
         50g x  breadcrumbs
         1/4 x  med sized onion
          3   x  ripe bananas

no water needed with this fruit because it made the mixture quite moist.

Seasoning and herbs of your choice.




Sultana Sausages

Same ratio of other ingredients plus half a cup of water - 'throw in'  sultanas until it looks right is what he did!


Possibly a personal choice, but they were ok.  I like bananna wrapped in bacon on the BBQ so that combination works for me luckily!



Let me know if any of you have a go with your children - 'out of the mouths of babes' you never know someone might come up with a real winner!
