Making your own sausages is a great way to control the ingredients and ensure that you're getting a high-quality product. It can also be a fun and rewarding experience.

In this blog post, I will show you how to make bratwurst using only a hand grinder, filler, and a few simple ingredients. This recipe is perfect for making small portions of sausage for daily use.

Instructions:

1. Grind the pork shoulder and pork belly through the fine grinding plate of your hand grinder.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, salt, pepper, caraway seeds, nutmeg, and egg. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Using the sausage stuffer attachment on your hand grinder, fill the sausage casings with the pork mixture. Be sure to pack the casings tightly so that there are no air pockets.
4. Twist the filled casings into links and prick them with a needle to release any air bubbles.
5. Refrigerate the bratwurst for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

Cooking Instructions:

There are a few different ways to cook bratwurst. Here are two of the most popular methods:

* Grilling Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the bratwurst for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through.
* Pan-frying: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bratwurst and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through.

Tips:

* If you don't have a sausage stuffer attachment, you can use a spoon or your hands to fill the casings.
* If you don't have sausage casings, you can use plastic wrap to make your own.
* You can also add other spices to your bratwurst, such as paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder.
* Bratwurst can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Conclusion:

Making your own bratwurst is a simple and rewarding experience. With just a few ingredients and a hand grinder, you can create delicious sausages that are perfect for grilling, pan-frying, or enjoying in a variety of other dishes.

Back to the Roots of modern Sausage making

Pork belly in a jar

 

use pork belly,

bottom part where there are almost no ribs.

I got here about 750 g

Cut the meat and strips, leave the skin on 

spread some mustard over the strips

take a little piece and roll the Strip so it fits in the jar.

add 1/2 ts 😁pepper and the salt on top then add a Cluver garlic 

of course the spices depending on the size of the jars 

the best thing is to weigh to meat for exact measurement.

and that would be 21 gram of salt per kilo meat,

this is the basic amount of salt per kilo 

for about 90% of all sausages 

if you use regular salt than the meat will be sort of gray

if you use curing salt the meat will be reddish 

and look more fresh, 

The taste is the same so  it’s up to you!

So use 15.75 g salt for the 750 g of pork belly. 

That will be exactly the same amount of the German curing salt. 

And here the problems start,  

American curing salt has about 13 times

 more nitrate then German curing salt.

If you would use the 15.75 g of #1 curing salt , 

you overdose rough, 13 times the nitrate.

So you will need to divide 

15.75 g : 13 = 1,21 g       so that’s 1.21 g for the #1 cure

And then you need 12 x 1,21 g = 14,53 g  regular salt

1.21 g + 14.53 g = 15.75 g !

so now you know how to calculate, curing salt

you can make a bigger batch 

store in A jar or container with a lid.
