Question:
How do you store the sausage? Can they be frozen?
— Catherine McIver
Answer:
Absolutely, they can be frozen. In fact,
my freezer is completely full of Frozen sausage
right now. Why because we made 85 pounds last week.
Certainly, if you're making a batch of sausage, it's
it's enough of a process that trying
to make for trying to make one pound of
sausage is a little bit ridiculous to be
perfectly honest.
Because it's just a lot of process and quite often quite
honestly, there's enough waste of little bits of product. They'll
get left inside this casing inside the canister Etc
that it's worth it to make a big batch to
make it your own batch to flavor it really well.
And then freeze what you don't need to know that you've got some great quality product in
there so they can certainly store and
be frozen fresh sausage. It doesn't
last very long in the fridge fresh. The reason
why is that you've taken perfectly good fresh pork?
Let's just say and you've created so much surface
area by grinding it that you've created
so much opportunity for bacteria to thrive.
You know, if you have a full piece of
pork, there's no bacteria on the inside. It's on the outside. But if you take
that piece of pork and grind it up, you have exponentially increased
the surface area the oxygen available Etc.
It's going to go bad pretty quickly. Also, you've
got the fat in there that can go rancid. So yeah, make your
sausage fresh use it up quickly two to
three days. I'd say Max or freeze it up and one
thing that I forgot to mention in the process of the sausage
making is after you've ground your sausage. But before you go
to stuff it if you are stuffing it make a
little test Patty and just saute it up.
Does it taste good to you? Does it have enough
salt? Does it have enough of the things you want it to have in it, right?
Taste it before you stuff it because if you
end up going through all the effort to stuff the sausage and then you taste it
and you don't like it when you got to go back a whole step. It's easy
enough just to make it two-ounce patio of it. Taste it
cool. I mean, it'll keep you motivated in the
whole process anyway, so there you go.
All right.
