Homemade Sausage Making

Hi Im new here, I been away from the website and was wondering why the recipies on the site changed?
I used to use the Polish hot smoked sausage that cures the meat in cubes for 3 days before adding spices and grinding, just wondering why this one just grinds and stuffs without the 3 day cure.
Thanks

Is this what you are looking for?

polska wedzona

Thats it , couldn't find it on Len's site either. Oops, not I was looking for Hot smoked simalar to that one but smoked at 140 deg
Thanks alot

Good question. Is it tradition, or is there a good reason? Maybe we hurry things too much, here in the good old' speedy ol' US-of-A.

The Marianski book of traditional sausage recipes uses that method with nitrates. I think that with the use of nitrites we don't need the longer cure.

So, it's to get the nitrate-to-nitrite reaction going? ...makes sense.
...that, plus a healthy dose of tradition, I'll bet.
Thanks, Ross. Now, hand over a plateful of those fresh-baked rolls and nobody gets hurt!

Hi thanks all, I seem to get a better texture of the sausage with that method, or maybe its just me.
Thanks again

I think The Duck asked a good question as there are also different versions of the Kabanosy recipe by Stan Mariansky... some with the 3 day cure and 1 without. All use Cure #1

In the Book The Art of Making Fermented Sausages...3 day cure

On the website here http://www.meatsandsausages.com/sausage ... s/kabanosy no 3 day cure

On this website in the members recipe section.....3 day cure http://wedlinydomowe.pl

I am currently trying the 3 day cure method for Kabanosy

I too have a batch of Polska Wedzona on track for the 3 day cure. Hot smoked however. Together with 2 slabs of Butt bacon this weekend will be a happy time
