Testing some that wasn't so good looking

In Sweden Prinskorv is a traditionell dish at Christmas smorgasbord

The water is added during the emulsifying step?

[Stickan]

Yes, the water is added when you emersify, I forgot to write that, an when you put them in hot water you have to get a big pot and a lot of water so it doesn't cool down to quick
Good luck if you try

Hi Stickan,

I like the way you tie your sausage links, that method always looks very neat.

I have never tried sausage with Cream and / or Yogurt. I can imagine the recipe combination with smoke applied would be very tasty.

[Stickan]

That's right Bubba, it becomes a mild sour taste that comes from lactic acid fermentation, I guess. Its a great little sausage

Stican, your Swedish Prinskorv (Prince sausage) looks magnificent. Thanks for sharing.

Best Wishes,

So many kinds of sausage, so little time.

I came across this post yesterday and want to try making it. Question though on the liquid measurements. Is it really 200 centiliter of yoghurt and cream? That translates to roughly a half gallon of each for 9.9lbs of meat. Plus 2.6 gallons of water. Should this be milliliters?

Thank you!

[jens49]

You are correct. For 4.5 kilo meat it can only be milliliters for the liquids.

[redzed]

Even in milliliters, it's still alot of liquid. We usually max out at 20% when making emulsified products.

[jens49]

Redzed you are right. A producer might add 25 % liquid. A seller would mark it as 20 % liquid.
A well known Swedish artisanal producer adds 25 % water to his Prinskurv.
He grinds twice through 2 mm. No dairy.

Interesting. I like the use of yogurt as the starter culture. There were a few threads about using yogurt as starter, several years ago, that were interesting.

I was in Stockholm 2 weeks ago and ate princekorv every morning for breakfast at my hotel. They didn’t have a sour taste, mostly they taste smoky. That said I would be careful adding more than 20% liquid to this recipe.

Thanks for the input everyone. I've converted the measurements to grams and am experimenting with the recipe. It is a very tasty sausage. I wanted a little more tang so I added .2% dextrose to todays batch.

[Mac89]

Well I'm not sure what happened but the texture went out the door on the last batch. Only thing I changed was adding the dextrose but the texture got dry and the bind broke like a mealy texture. I made another batch the same way yesterday with the dextrose to see if it was a fluke and will let you know the verdict tomorrow.
