Sausage Making-Moose/pork BC Canada (Picture heavy)

[dboles]

Freind Jeff and I and my son Matt got together lately to make some homemade dinner sausage.We have been doing this together for years.It is a rewarding activity that usuaully yeilds great results,is a fun a endearvour that has a tasty ending!
What we do is mix pork and moose together around 2/3 moose to a 1/3 pork.We have a little electric sausage making machine ,but back in the day handcranked those links.
Grinding and mixing the meat

After grinding we season using the recipe we have decided on

Casings are readied.They are usually salted so we rinse and soak in lukewarm water

After the spices have set for a bit we fry some sample to see how the batch tastes( Love that cast iron).Usually try to err on not enough spice.After tasting the meat usually needs a small tuning up with whatever spice is lacking

Casing threaded on the machine

Links!! a batch is usually around 30 lbs.

Later we will smoke some for curing so they can travel with us out hunting trapping or fishing,hiking.The rest is froze for later fine eating.
Will answer questions and thanks for looking
