Homemade Sausage Making

So I have finally got around to wiring up the temp control and humidity control for my fridge.
What is something nice and simple for a first timer to test it out with?
I haven't got a decent mincer/sausage filler so maybe some kind of cured meat to begin with.

Cheers
Rob

Rob-
A Coppa or a Lonzino are a good way to start.

a bresoala is also very easy, same process as a coppa. A good bresoala is hard to beat, and is a nice accompaniment to all things pork!

Sliced ultra thin and put on top of a nice bed of fresh greens, with fresh squeezed lemon, olive oil, and a nice shaving of good parmesan...mmmm hard to beat!
