How to make your very own homemade spicy italian sausages!

Here’s a pretty abbreviated ten step process to making sausages. You’ll probably learn a lot of techniques the first time around to use in your future sausage-making endeavors. Check out thespicysausage.com for more recipes and tips!
Step 1: Cut the loose fat from the pork butt and cut the pork into 2-3″ cubes.
Step duo: Grind!
Step3: Add the seasoning to the ground pork and mix it (with your glove-covered hands).
Step 4: Take those salty hog casings and soak them in cool water for about an hour. Try to rinse the inside and outside of the casings as much as you can.
Step 5: After putting the stuffer attachment on the mixer, rub vegetable oil on it and slide the entire casing over it and knot the end. Keep applying the vegetable oil to make it easier. Also make a pinhole at the end of the casing to let the air out.
Step 6: Stuff the casing and knot off the end!
Step 7: Twist the one long sausage into smaller links. Twist each link in the opposite direction as the previous one so they don’t unravel.
Step 8: Cook ‘em and eat ‘em!
Step 9: Or wrap the coils in parchment paper and freeze them.
Step 10: Clean up the massive mess you made.
Enjoy!
