Question:

What is the % of salt you aim for on your fresh sausages?

— Jules Carney

Answer:

See this is different. It's usually I use about two tablespoons of kosher salt per four five pounds of meat is about what I used. I find that that is enough. There's so many other flavorings and also that it gets so integrated as opposed to a pork roast. I might put more than two tablespoons of salt on the outside of it because it's not going to integrate fully but when you season it mix it up completely the salt is completely integrated and then it's ground down. The smaller amount of salt goes a long way in this in this. Instance so I think about two tablespoons of salt for five pounds of meat is meat and fat is just about right cool.
