I'm a newcomer to home salami making and want to
try my hand at it. What is CALCIUM CHLORIDE?
Where can I get it?

Thanks, Vaughn

We love making sausages. It all started about 18 years ago when we wanted duplicate sausages from the various regions of Thailand.

We're over in Alamo about an hour plus from you!

Where do you buy the casings, especially the sheep/lamb casings?

This looks like a very good web site. I am getting really excited about making my own sausages. I have acquired several deer and I am interrested in making venison sausages. I will try the recipies as they are printed first, then if I like the finished product, I will substitute the venison. I have viewed several web sites over the last few days and this one is the best that I have found.

Love to make homemade sausages. Originally from PA, now AZ. Can't find good cold smoke meat anywhere in AZ, in process of building my own outdoor smokehouse. Can't wait to try some of your recipes.
22Wed Feb 4 2004 11:39Scott Guiher [email protected]
Great site. I have always wanted to make my own sausage. As a child all the families around Crossville, TN used to get together and slaughter hogs and make whole hog sausage. I have never been able to duplicate that wonderful taste. Maybe now...
23Thu Feb 12 2004 17:33Tom Harding [email protected]
G'day Len. great site, I am a retired butcher fed up with buying inedible sausage from stores so decided to produce my own, commercial sausage is totally different to home made, so I had to change my mindse t no problem.It would be helpfull to have a printer friendly option for your site, my only complaint. cheers Tom

I Love your web site. It is exactly what I was looking for. I remember my grandmother making sausage when I was little, and unfortunately the art was lost as neither of my parents were interested in learning from her. I am excited to find a site with as much science as yours. THANK YOU for doing this. Your efforts are appreciated.

The BEST sausage web site I've ever seen. Superbly organized and detailed information, complimented with excellent web organization and graphics. A real materpiece, keep up the excellent work.
PS, I noticed that you have a Bradley smoker, as I do. I cannot get mine to cold smoke. Even with the main heating element off, the temp dial reads near 150F. Any thoughts?

I love your site, the best by far on the net, it is like sausage U but is there any way that we can read the answers to the questions posted on the guestbook? Seems to me that this would make a great FAQ reference and avoid repetition, maintaining this "GREAT" site has to take a good chunk of time as it is.

I love fresh sausages and bratwurts, none of that hot dog stuff and came across your web site which I must say is very well made. I love biting into the sausage and feeling that little "pop" as the casing breaks :P.

Your Web site on this subject is excellent.
I found it very helpful.
I am a qualified Chef but have never made my own cured meat products.
As I always thought it was too dangerous, and in fact here in Melbourne,Australia there have been deaths from badly handled commercial sausage production that have caused new laws to be introduced, and now we have a system called HAACP.
Anyway if I can get a "Walk In" set up I would give it a go.
P.S. you look like someone who enjoys sausages!
Regards Jim.

Your site is simply super. All recipes are as close to real thing as possible. It is a professional site. Keep doing it. I've been making hungarian sausages for almost 30 years
so I know a little bit about sausage making.
88Tue Sep 7 2004 20:49Keith Jorgensen [email protected]
I really enjoy reading about your sausage making experiences. I have made several types of fresh sausages, and look forward to making some dried varieties. As I live in Portland, OR, we lack the humidity to dry sausages in my crawlspace. I'll have to invest in a refrigerator and some type of hydrating device.
Keep up the good work.

Dear Mr. Poli,

Excellent web-site and your recipes are gems. Thanks for providing know how that has been kept by others as trade secrets or within the family for generations. I am a Greek Cypriot and two cured type prepared meats we have on the island are the Cypriot pork Sausage called 'loukaniko' and pork loin cured called 'Lountza'. Both are marinated in wine, some leave them in wines for days other for more that a week, others pre-cure and then add to wine, others add to wine/brine mixture from day 1. Typical spices are salt, pepper, corriander and we never use preservatives such as nirates or nitrites etc. You will not find these receipes anywhere. Cypriots prepare most cured meats in the winter period when the low temparatures reduce spoliage. Both are typically smoked using shrubs and branches/leaves from the local mediterranean flora. But the wine is key.

Once again thanks and please continue with your invaluable info. like the latest humidity control article.

Your page was sent to me by a friend on mine, Rick Obermeyer of Rockford, MI. We have been making sausages together for several years and directed a sausage making club locally for the past several years. I have tried a couple of your recipes so far and really enjoy them. I, too, have developed a few of my own recipes and would be glad to share them if you are interested.

I love to hunt and shoot deer and I can cook deer meat in many many ways, but I've never figured out how to make sausage!
110Sun Dec 12 2004 12:21Karl Lauten [email protected]
Hi Len,
Thanks for the great information and backgrounds on sausage making. After decades of disappointment with retail sausage and the stuff local butchers returned to me I have started making my own sausage, beginning with my lifelong favorite: summer sausage. My first batch was good, second great, and third batch just completed is fantastic, schmecks gut! It really is a rewarding hobby, fun, and turns out a product that is far tastier and leaner than anything butchers have returned to me. I also know that my deer and elk meat is truly mine and is as clean and fresh as I want it to be. Thanks for the recipes and advice as it was very helpful in the technical aspects and it provided the encouragement and confidence to actually try it. Had I known it could be done I would have been making my own sausage for decades..............karl

Great website Len! My father-in-law introduced me to making homemade sausage with his buddies and I fell in love with it. I bought two old fashion meat grinders (each has different grinder blades...and they only cost $8/piece so what the hell) from an antique store and I am digging into some of your recipes this Saturday. Thanks for the info and I will let you know how it goes. Also hope to maybe post something unique to your website in the future.

"Freezing Pickle"
Does anyone know the active ingredients in this? It is listed as the curing agent in many old sausage recipes from central Wisconsin. I am not sure what it is.
email me if you are able to help me with this research.

I remember making sausage on butchering day very fondly as that was my job, but it has been nearly 30 years ago now! thank you for sharing your great recipes!

Thanks for your very informative site. You have given me the inspiration (and simple easy to understand recipes and processes) to have a go at making and enjoying my favorite things. Salami, bread and wine. Enjoy.
You would't have a simple plan for a smoke-chamber/incubator would you? Regards.

Your sight is awesome! While I don't agree with everything (this is quality Italian cooking, where's the fun in conformity?) I think your sight is vital to our ability as people to enjoy this wonderful tradition.

My family will be made aware of your sight, and may'be we'll be joining your webring.

Here's our handy work: Salame Calibrese and my Habanero Diavolo Mix!






Note: The plastic bags are because my mix will cause skin irritation.

I like the detail you've made available for all types of sausage making. I'm curently only working with fresh sausage recipes. Perhaps cured sausages are in my future. And when that happens, I intend to study your site carefully.

Hi Len,

Thank you very much for responding to my enquiry and request for your opinion on sausage grinders/stuffers. I believe that even my little KithenAid sausage grinder will grind meats satisfactorily if I keep the meat very cold (so I don't want to blame the grinder for operator ineffectiveness). I believe that I will be better off if I buy a decent sausage stuffer (keeping in mind your well-mentioned issues of flexibility). It seems that if I buy a well built stuffer with flexibility in tube size (say, up to one and one quarter inch) I'd be able to make pepperoni, summer and brats, filling natural and artificial casings. Any advice on stuffers (I see you use a horizontal one)?. You have a great website, and I thank you in advance for any advice and wisdom you may throw my way.

Thanks again,

Bob Parson

My family have been making Italian sausage and Kielbassa for the past 35 years in a small meat market. We no longer have the market. I started making sausages about 5 years ago as a hobby. I now make about 30 different types of sausages. Your web site is the best informative web site I have found on sausage making. It has helped me so much. Thank you for all your info. I like to try different recipes. Your information and knowledge has made it so much easier for me. Thank you again.

I tried making salami from a homemade family recipe and I had a major problem. My salami was hollow in the middle (or mostly hollow) and brown in color--only the outer edge of the salami was red. What am I doing wrong? Can you please e-mail me and tell me? I had to throw 6 salami in the garbage after all that work.
154Sat Mar 26 2005 14:49Kevin Stoffel [email protected]

I used to make fresh Italian Sausage with my father. Dad would give it away at Christmas time and everybody raved about it. I stumbled onto your website a few months ago and my interest was renewed. Yeaterday I cloned some Brats and Breakfast Sausage using you recipes. When I laid out samples for tasting, everybody was raving. The apple didn't fall far from the tree. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and helping me revive an old family tradition.

Dear Lenn

I wish to congratulate you on your website , it is truly a marvel that amateurs like me are able to find such an in-depth technical support as well as practical hints on the subject

I'm sending you my bests wishes from Argentina for your future endeavors ; last but not least be ready for tons of questions ( I?m sorry but I couldn't help being honest with you ) on the art of sausage making ,particularly on hot dogs which have fell into disrepute in Argentina , ( don't ask me why )

Hang in there with your website ��� and good luck

Len, Many thanks for providing such a wealth of information! Recently I have had the opportunity of purchasing the trimmings of commercial boiled ham from a local ham and longanisa factory. What are your thoughts on making some sausage with these? The ham by itself is delicious but the price is very low and I'm looking for a use for this product. It is of course completely cured and is just the offcuts from hams which are shaped to fit into Poly bags. Yours thoughts and/or is\deas would be much appreciated. My wife (a Filipina) and I retired way back in 2003 I'm now 67 and we keep goats and make our own cheese and have a couple of small farms. Regards, Bill.

178Sat May 28 2005 06:22Christa W Nowezki [email protected]
Finding your website was a god send, I just recently started to experience making my own Rauchfleisch, Schinkenspeck etc (cold smoked cured ham)for which I had a recipe my father used to make in the Alps and it turned out fabolous thanks to a website from Germany that explains in detail how to cold smoke. Now I wanted to know if I could find a recipe for Landjaeger another favorite for my husband and I and up came your site and I am so exited over all your recipies, Breasola, Coppa, Salamies and I find they are all able to be done even here in Florida with some improvisation for the air drying considering it can get very hot here in the sommer, but the best thing is I do not have to order or buy those very pricy items like the Breasola and Rauchfleisch run about $16. - $25. per pound and the Landjaeger for two links $4.50 and besides this is a very satisfying hobby to being able to do by myself.
Thank You very very much,
Ciao

Is it possible to download all the recipes in a batch format? let me know.

Hello from Malaysia! I am a semi-retired Austrian-Canadian who has at last found a place in the sun. In the absence of any good local sausages (and in the presence of over-priced, often spoilt imported stuff), I have started to make my own sausages, bacon, artisan breads, etc - with astonishing results. Your website is one of the best, down-to-earth resources I have found on this topic. You are doing a fantastic job! Keep up the good work! God bless!!!

Outstanding job Len! I've been making sausage at home for over 17 years when I could not find the artisan sausages I ate in Europe for sale in the US. Early on, Rytek Kutas helped me out and in the last few years your website has provided me the insight to take my sausage making to a higher level. Thank you for a wonderful public service and for raising the state of the art in home sausage making.

I've made Lonzino many times, religiously following Len's recipe and it has invariably turned out perfect.
Now it's the turn of Bresaola.
Thank God for Len.
P.S. Where can I find a recipe for Bundnerfleisch?

Mr. Poli,
Great website. I am a chef for a major foodservice company and a graduate of CIA. I loved all the research you have done and the exstensive knowledge.
I am planning to open a buisness in the next 8 months making and selling sausages and meats. I live in Charlotte, NC and the area is just become over grown with East and West Coast transplants. Any info you have on complying with law on accually producing and selling would be so helpful.

Cheers,

what an interesting site
I was checking into getting a Universal Meat Grinder, like we used to have when I was a wee thing. and that led me to checking on sausage making. What an informative site for education someone who is interested. I an excited to try one of the raw recipes and see how that works out for us. Thanks

I will be retiring in Nicaragua as my social security will allow me to keep my current great lifestyle in the good old US. I intend to make ham, bacon, and sausage as a little income. I have made patty sausage but never with casings. I am trying to learn as much as I can prior to retiring.

You've got a great website! I've been on The Internet since 1990 and in the past a search for "sausage and recipe" only yielded recipes with sausages in them. I moved from NYC to Alaska last year and could not get Italian sweet fennel sausage like I used to get at my favorite "pork store," Fiacos in NYC, here. So I decided to start making my own. Stumbled upon your site a couple of days ago while looking for a recipe for Filippino Longaniza. I'm going to give your mix a try later today.

What a great site. More usable information than any site I've been to. I've been making sausage, salami and cure meats since I was a boy. Raised on a farm nieghbors would get together every year to help each other with the slaughter and processing of each others pigs. What a great time. The practice of sausage making in my family has been passed down from father to son over the generations. I taught my son and now my 8 year old grandson already knows how to make the family sausage recipe.
294Thu Nov 24 2005 12:50David N. Raoch [email protected]
I just started making my own. Being of Texas german heritage I grewup eating sausage from home raised hogs. I'll keep the tradition going. thanks for the site.

Sure appreciate the info. Sausage making is new for me. It took 2 years to develop a jerkey recipe. Daunting to consider how long it may take to develop a recipe or two for sausage. With health concerns in mind, am looking for low fat and other advantages by doing my own. Your expertise has already proven thought-provoking and helpful. Thanks>

317Wed Dec 14 2005 21:43Don Zickefoose [email protected]
Thank you for the wealth of information on your site. I have used your recipes to utilize the venison that I bag from bow hunting to make some really incredible summer sausage, peperoni, salami, bologna, Ring bologna(what we call Trail - it's an Ohio Amish Ring Bologna).
My kids and I really enjoy the end product, and I relied on your site for the formulations, I have enven experimented with some variations ie. adding Honey and Jalepeno peppers to the trail (Ring Bologna) mix, and using both the heart and liver in the Bologna recipe, it turned out fantastic, kind of like a cross between bologna and leberwurst.
Thanks again!

What an awesome resource! I spent over an hour looking over your site. Originally I came here looking for a good German summer sausage or salami for a story. I want to hint that the mother is German, so as a snack she'll now be serving thin slices of plockwurst with crackers and cheese.

But this sausage making looks too much like fun. I'll have to try it someday.

Len,
Great making sausage with you yesterday! (1 16 06)Please excuse the apparent disorganization of our host, we had no electricity on this mountain till 11:30 last night. Frank is really a National Barbeque champion and is working on the finesse of sausage. (not everything needs to be immediately smoked and bagged) I like the fact that Glen's stuffer holds a goodly amount of casings for a good 15 lb load. When we do big 300lb batches at my house we have a spare horn that we load while stuiffing with the first. I'm here to get the recipe for your Coppa and will start it today. Thanks again foor driving down and sharing your expertise.

Been eating italian homemade sausages for over forty years now. They were all homemade by recipes of italian immigrants in our community along with the good old pressed wine. As children of these immigrants we don't seem to follow their traditions and resort to buying them, and they are quite expensive.I am glad I found a site which is very extensive and complete. Think I will give a crack at making some dry cured.

more suited to that. Your recipes have been most informative. Thanks.

I found your site through makincasing.com. I am British living in the USA and have been for the past 5 years. I have been suffering sausage withdrawal with increasing severity until I decided that I would just have to make my own. Thank you so much for the Banger recipe on your site, I was transported back to mothers kitchen within seconds of trying it. Thanks so much, I love you!!!!!

I've recently lucked upon a #22 Hobart commercial grade grinder and in keeping with trying to eat whole foods I'm glad to work towards processing my own ground meat.

Len
I just want to say that I've been making Sopressata for the passed 14 years since my parents passed away and although I never wanted to learn in my 20's and early 30's I alway's enjoyed eating it. When my last parent passed away I felt pressure to carry on the tradition. I read books and talked to anyone that even resembled an Italian. I made my mistakes along the way and finally said that if this batch does not turn out I quite. Luck would have it it turned out perfect. Since then each batch was better then the previous year and now I feel that I can make Sopressata taste like dandelions if I had to although I wouldn't want to. My point is if I would of discovered your web-site sooner I could of saved myself boat loads of money and much time. I hate to waste and I really hate to spend money and waste at the same time. Your web-site is perfect and I truly enjoy clicking through your information. To add anyone that asks me how to make Sopressata I give them my recipes and procedures along with your web-site address.
Bene Grazie

Why the sudden change with the site? I was looking for the formulations page from A to Z and could not find it....I always used to refer back to that for percentages and such....and now its gone. Are you going to start charging people to view certain recipes??? Thanks.

We are making salami,the salami milano-style and the salamini cacciatore.We have followed the recipe to specs.We used Meat Starter Culture LHP in the meat past fallowing directions, we also used the M-EK-4 Bactoferm to dip the cased salamis in.We cased the salami milano in 2 1/2 inch fiberous casings, an dthe salamini in 38 to 42 hog casings.We are now in the dring process right now.We are dring in a walk in cold box, tempature has remained in the 55-68 degree range and the humitity is in the 70% range.

Question: Is an ammonia smell normal?

Also we have no air circulation in the walkin, is this nesisary?

Have used your sausage resipies and techniques with great succses.Enjoy your web sight emencilly.Any help would be greatly appreashiated.

Yours truly,

I am about to enter the world of sausage making. I have ground my meat and found out that you must remove all of the fat and gristle before I grind the meat. Or buy very lean meat. I am now about to fill the casings. I will look on your web site to get any tips which are forthcoming. Wish mr look.
400Tue Mar 7 2006 14:13Paul Fec [email protected]
Hi again Len! I have a question for you. I order all of my ground pork butts from a local market and I always have the butcher NOT trim the fat from the meat for my soppressatas. It always seems to come out pretty much the same....Do you feel I'm taking a chance by doing so or is there an average percentage of fat on most butts??? I notice that your recipes have the percentage of fat to meat....should I be calculating the percentage of fat to meat for my recipe?? Thanks Len....Oh by the way, I figured out how to view the formulations. I was just confused since I was used to the old page. Thanks again.

Hi there Len. On Friday I purchased two fresh hams and I'm going to try to make some of my own prosciutto. I have a few questions....As the salted hams are curing in my plastic container, should I drain the moisture that is coming out of the meat? I was planning to leave it for a week then remove it and re-rub my salt mixture and do that for 3 consecutive weeks before smoking and hang drying. Also, should I be pressing the meat at this stage to remove more moisture from the meat? The hams are huge and the bone is still remaining. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Can you give me advice about long term storage of hog natural casings. Store in the fridge in a brine or what is the best way to hold them for a couple of months or so?

Hi!
Thanks for a good site about sausagemakin.
I live just outside Gothenbourg,Sweden and sausagemaking here used to be big about 25 years ago and further back. Now it�s completely lost.
Your hompage is a goldmine for me.

You are my hero? I harvest a lot of exotic game (venison, wild boar, deer, wild turkey) from our ranch in central Texas, and now I have a ton of recipes. I will make bresaola from Axis venison loin soon. I hope I can hang it at 60 F since it has been cured with cure #2?

After three years in Bocas Del Toro, Panama I'm back to Oregon for a year or two and have just started playing around with sauage making. We had a great little Tex-Mex Bar-B-Q joint in Bocas and will be headed back to Panama to open a Bed and Breakfast Horse ranch near Boquete Panama. Hope to have my sausage skills in place upon my return.

I'm from Bolivia and I was looking for a detailed explanation for salami and prosciutto, your site is the most complete I could find on Internet, also help me with a lot of problems related to temeperature an humidity control, because here the temperatures changes from 65 F to 32 F within the same day, and it's also very dry like 20 to 25%.

Thank you very much I've add your page to my favorites to see it regularly
448Fri Jul 14 2006 04:00Peter Achleitner [email protected]
I have ordered some sauage making supplied from Sausagemaking.org, the "great" British web site mentioned on your "Resources" link. I asked them to ship everything by courier (I live in Malaysia), for which I paid an additional 60 british Pounds. When the package arrived two months (!!!) later, I found that one of the ordered items was not sent at all, and 11 out of 12 other items were spoilt and cannot be used. These fellas threw all the small plastic wrapped spice mixes into a single plastic bag supplied by the courier company (Parcelforce.com) - needless to say, the small plastic bags got crushed, spillt, got caked from water damage, and everything was a mess. I sent a letter of complaint to the company - together with photographs of proof, and even offered to send them back the mess. I asked for at least a partial refund. So far, I have not heard from the company again, nor did I receive a refund. Buyer beware!!!

Hou could it take me so long to fine this magnificent site. I came to Arkansas from Pennsylvania via Virginia. Haven't been able to buy any good salami, sausage, prosciutto, capagola, mortadella ... sincs 1984.

Have been making my own sausage for years but untill now have not been able to branch out. Had a couple of failed attempts at prosciutto and capagola, but now - now..
Well we'll see.

I am an old retired Navy Chief who has been making sausage for years, your site is the best I have ever seen. I retired in the philippines and have some trouble getting some of the supplies and equipment I need but hope to be able to try and make some types of dry sausage in the future your tips on building a humidifed dryer will be a great help.If you ever come out his way please let me know and I will show you life in the Philippines. Again best site by far I have ever found, not like so many that have no idea about safety involved in food production, good for both newcomers and old hands Thank you Jim D

Great Site. I seem to be trying to learn everything at once. There is so much good information. In reading ingredients I know what some are, like sucrose, phosphate, citric acid, etc., but can they be purchased under another name? Live in a small town in Michigan and we have only one store to purchase such things. Hoping I do not have to order them.
540Wed Jan 10 2007 12:05Rich Littooy [email protected]
I am thrilled to relocate your site. I have made your Prosciutto - American Style numerous times and my German born wife loves it. Made with pork tenderloin, heavily smoked during the 60 hrs in a smoker cabinet and thin sliced, it tastes very similar,if not an exact match to Westphalian Ham(schinken).

I made italian sausagesome 20 years ago with my EX father in-law. Just made my first 15 pounds after all that time....I ust got bit by the bug! All I do is think about sausage making from the minute I get up to whenn I fall asleep. My new wife things I crazy...because I have been building a huge outdoor smoker all out of brick that takes up apox a6ft x 20ft area....If you want to see pic email me, because it all salvage material, I spent about $30 dollar total. Man I love this. I no pro but if you got a question let see if we can figure it out...Mike

Hi,
I saw your recipe for English breakfast sausages on anoother site (fooddownunder.com) and I was wondering, Chicken stock, is that right? I want to try them. Thanks, Will purdy
545Mon Jan 22 2007 12:17John Lamkin [email protected]
This site is fantastic. I've been making sausage
for 25 years and have every book I can find on the subject including foreign language books and none compare to your site for depth, breadth, and clarity. I have a restaurant in San Francisco and daily feature housemade charcuterie. I haven't done any dry curing in years (I lost my hanging space) but your site has reinspired me. I'll be going to Ames this spring for their three day short course on dry and semi-dry sausage and I have you to thank.

I've been using the grinding head on 20 qt Hobart
mixer with less than desirable results. I'd like to upgrade to a dedicated #32 grinder and start grinding my hamburger in house to excuse purchasing the grinder. I'm looking at a Leonardi
Model 540 from Pleasant Hill Grain. Any thoughts?

Hi Len
I am fairly new to sausage making.Your website in my estimation is likely one of the best I have seen yet.
I do have a question. Where can I obtain, Corn Syrup Solids. Is it something a grocery store would carry under a specific brand name.
Thank You
547Wed Jan 24 2007 17:46Brent Johnson [email protected]
I tell you that I have searched the internet far and wide to find a website like yours! I have been looking for the CORRECT way to dry venison sausage and I have found a home. Please keep the great info coming. I am an avid hunter and make my own fresh and cured sausages by trial and error, but I really want to make dried sausage at home because it is worth its weight in gold at the processor (and usually not very good!)

554Tue Jan 30 2007 11:29John Mills [email protected]
In reviewing the steps in the Buckboard Bacon recipe, what temperature should be maintained during the curing process and approx. how long will it take to smoke given the size/weight suggested and a constant 200 degree temp?

If you could let me know that would be great.

Thank you.

Dear Mr. Len Poli:

Thanks for sharing the recipes for the cured meat. I found this place via river cottage forum based on the UK. Currently I am trying some salami following your recipe :)

And at the same time. I am preparing the casing myself too. Yes, from pig intestine. But I feel a bit worry of the bad bacteria in them, as I only use load of salt to cure them. Do you have any idea about commerical producing of casing? what they would add to kill the bacteria and safe as well?

Many Thanks

I modified the Prosciutto Crudo recipe with the following:
Decrease Juniper berry to 1 tsp or less
add 2-4 tsp granulated or powdered garlic
add 1-2 tsp coriander
add 1-2 tsp black pepper
Smoke using kiln dried but not treated pine or fir from a lumber yard. Just saw cut it into small enough pieces to fit into a smoker pan.
Follow the recipe for the rest of the process.
I know the woods I used are very resinous but that creates the special flavor of a Schwarzw�lder Schinken (Black Forest Ham). I tried it with american hardwoods and actually created what is known in Germany as Westphalian Schinken. I am married to a German for 25 years and she is thrilled with both end products. At about $2 a lb as compared to German Deli's price of $10 to $15 a lb you can afford to enjoy the end product anytime you wish.

Hey Guys,
I just wanted to congratulate you an a very well resourced and informative web site. My name is Tyler and I am an Australian butcher, I live and work in Brisbane and I have been specialising in continental smallgoods for just over 3 years and a butcher for 9 I have recommended you to a few of my friends who have been hassling me to teach them how to make sausages and they are very pleased because you can do it better than I ever could. Good luck and I hope you have fun expanding your site, if you would like to swap some recipies some time give me a buzz, I have amassed somewhat of an extensive "recipie book" over the years.

I've gotten into making my own stuff- Ricotta cheese, bread, etc. In suburbia working full time and taking care of the house it's proving difficult to have any time left over, but I wanted to make my own Kransky as we enjoy it so much. This website is FANTASTIC!! I'm so impressed with the info, I'm dying to try the recipes out! Thanks so much for a brilliant webpage - it's so great to find such good information from such a knowledgeable person!

I love your website and recipes.I also make my own wine and cheese.We are in Texas and kill wild hogs year round and deer in season, so I have no shortage of meat.I have not bought any store meat in years and sure don't go to McDonalds or similar killer food places.I make better food here than you are able to buy. I am interested in some of your recipes, but I have a problem with the download with acrobat reader- it tells me external handler is not available.If you are knowledgeable on this issue- please let me know. I would like to print some of your info for my own use.Also I am able to share some of my own recipes with ya-all. Thanks much, Jim Sloan

Can you shed any light on this?

Hi Len,

You have done a great job in composing and publishing your work on sausage making, i have tried most of them and they are simply great, if there are anymore specials lemme know.

Thanks once again,

Hi, Len. You may or may not remember me, I have used your recipes for years. I once asked you to give me the ingredients to make the brine for Capocollo Cotto, which you did. Now I want to make Cappocollo Crudo, if possible Calabrese style, but I could not find a recipe on the Internet. Would you happen to have one? I'd be most grateful if you did. Kindest regards

Great site. I have been making sausage for 10 years.. but have only used 3 or 4 recipes. One was a recipe that my Uncle made in his slaughter house back in the 50's & 60's.. Everyone thought it was so good. As a teenager I worked in a small country grocery that had a butcher section in the back. I helped make various German style sausages, liverwurst, head cheese, souse, but never paid much attention to ingredients. The butcher guarded his recipes and kept them in a safe till the day he died. Recently I contacted his daughter and she shared most of them with me. The recipes are for 50# so I've had to half and quarter them.

Len,

I am so happy to find this site. My Mother, who was born in a small town in Calabria, and I make Salsicia Calabrese and Sopprasata every year. This year, though, I want to dive into Prosciuto making. I am very good friends with Armandino Batali and his daughter Gina so I've got a great resource here in Seattle, but your site is FANTASTIC and will be a great reference tool.

I do have a question. My Dad is getting a beef tongue and we wanted to cure it. Gina Batali is going to give me a few tips because they offer cured tongue at Salumi, but I was currious if you had some advice?

Grazie mille!!!

Your site is wonderfull and very inspiring.
Not for the person wanting to loose weight, but for people who love food and its creative ways to prepare. We live in Brazil, were food is cheap and very good quality.
I personally love to prepare exotic dishes and just love the preparation of dried meats, such as the South African "Biltong and dry "Wors" sausage.
Salami making is my next big project and I am happy to have your information.
Thank Y'all

Just wanted to say thanks. It's obvious that you put a lot of work into making great sausage, and more importantly for us sharing it with the world and taking the mystery out of sausage making. It's rare indeed to have so much useful content in a site these days, you have my highest praise.

I've been doing it for 7 years and have learned a lot.
Unlike many bogus sausage sites on the web, LP clearly understands the processes and has some great new recipes.

Hi,

What a nice website and it has full of information on the sausages. Thanks for sharing them.

Btw, I love cured meats eventhough some are quite full of fat. I'd like to make homemade fresh sausages but at the moment, I can't get any sausage casing from any butchers that I went to. Hopefully, I can buy some casings directly from the manufacturer.

Regards,
Regina

i just started making sausage last year. So far I have stuck to doing Breakfast an Italian in bulk. Day before yesterday I prepared a 10 lb. batch of Bratwurst. Yesterday I attempted to stuff it into the soaked and rinsed casings with the sausage stuffer attachment to my KitchenAid. I stuffed enough to make 4 eight inch links before I gave up. I put the sausage mixture in the freezer and went on-line and bought a 5lb sausage stuffer. The KitchenAid was just not the right tool for the job! I guess I'm getting serious now. Thank you for your site.

This site is incredible! Thank you Len for providing such wonderful resources in such an accessible site. My friends and I are homebrewers who are also going to make sausage for our first 'Ocktoberfest'. Based upon the incredible recipes and how-to advice, I think my family and friends will be eating a lot more sausage in the future. I search the web and find the best resource is right in my back yard!

I first visited this web site about two years ago. I have subsequently retired from the fire service after 30 years work. Since visiting my cousins in the north of Italy, I have wanted to make my own salumi. With the help of this web site, I'll begin the adventure! I live on the central coast near Watsonville; the natural humiidty and temperature should be helpful during the drying process. Thanks again!
659Sun Nov 11 2007 11:51Debra Jacobs [email protected]
I've learned alot about making sausages from your site. Ive made sausages since I was a kid with my mother but never knew why I was doing certain things. After my mother pasted on I stopped making sausages for about 15 years and got back into it about a year ago. Boy did I forget alot!

Thanks for the refresher course and alot of recipes I either lost or were incomplete. Between what I have and your recipes I've managed to closely reproduce alot of what my mother and grandmother made sucessfully.

I'm still trying to replicate Mamas hard salami and peperoni. I think it was proably dry aged as it hung in the bathroom in the winter then in the kitchen until used. I think it may be similar to your Salame-finocchiona based on color and texture. I've purchased bactoferm 52 and the Bactoferm LHP. My grandmother was Calabrese. Which starter would you recommend?

Again thank you!

Len,
Thankyou for freely sharing your expertise and hardwork. After visiting your site I am ready to venture into the world of sausage making. I am pretty excited about that.

I built a monster smoker two years ago and have been working on perfecting some brining and smoking recipes. I had hoped that eventually I would get to sausage making. Well I have finally got all the pieces needed and your site helped me resolve some question I still had regarding curing and the science of sausage making.

I will send you a few of my recipes when I get them completed.

Thanks

Sincerely
John Heinen

What a great job you did on this! I was facinated with it. My Italian buddy,Angelo, makes me suppressa and sausage.That is what got me interested.

He makes his suppressa like the old-time Italians did by hanging them in his well hole with an earthern floor. The old-times used their earthen floored cellars. Angelo said if one goes into the cellars in Loretto, He will see nails all over where they hung their suppressa.

My buddy said one can make them using a non-auto defrost refrigerator. I got one and make suppressa once in it. I did not get the "muffa"-mold on it,however,it tasted good. MY greatgrand children loved it.

I am now hanging about 30 pounds that Angelo made and again, no "muffa".

After reading your excellent article, I found out my frig is an automatic defrost type.Today, I followed your advice and disconnectedthe "button" thermostat in the freezer compartment. I am worried about frost biuld up and causing a problem. If it happens, I think I will install a switch so I can manually turn on the defrost. What do you think?

Well, thank you for putting such a great article on the web for people like me! I also like your recipes on the site.

You must be a handy guy,also, a chemist besides?

I have been getting ready and gearing up for sausage making. I am really excited about this. I have been reading on it for awhile, just to try and make sure I do it right before doing it. I'm a bit cautious I suppose. I just want to make sure I have everything ready and prepaired as I take this seriously. I came across your site and was amazed. Your site stays on the top of my bookmarks now.

Do you by chance have a book out? As I have seen and purchased some from amazon.com on sausage making. If you don't, you should. It would be a best seller.

Thanks for all your time with this great site =)

Thank you Mr. Poli for your great web site. I grew up in the 1950's in a great Italian neighborhood in San Rafael.

Thank you again. Gary Keys

Felicitaciones tienes la mejor pagina de elaboracion de embutidos (sausages).

Te quiero hacer una consulta relacionado con el sabor y olor de las salchichas (flavor). Hago salchichas (frankfurters) con una condimentacion igual siempre, pero hay ocasiones que resulta con mejor sabor que otras, uso un cutter y luego paso por un emulsificador coloidal, crees tu que la temperatura de la que sale del emulsificador tenga alguna influencia en la calidad, crees que los sabores se conserven mejor si se obtiene la emulsion a mas baja temperatura, mejor dicho se deteriora el flavor si la temperatura se eleva??? Que me recomiendas hacer para obtener un mejor flavor un mejor producto.. Gracias espero que me puedas ayudar.

excellent web site. Thank you so much for this wealth of information.
LOL! Just wondering. Please for the life of me, as controversial and harmful as MSG has turned, why do you even suggest it in your Italian sausage recipe?
I am endevouring into homemade sausage with a Kitchenaid stand mixer and its attachments. It makes me wonder that only two plates are available with their food grinder. Any ideas for the Kitchenaid and sausage making?
Again, thank you for all your excellent information in this site.

Your site is fantastic. I run the charcuterie dept. at King Estate winery in Eugene, Oregon. I frequent your site daily for ideas, tips, and answers to my many questions concerning dry curing. I say thanks and keep up the great work. My personal favorite so far is the Lonzino, but i must say the buckboard bacon that will be ready soon has me intrigued. Thanks again

I want to make them myself. Your site is the closest I've found to a recipe for chicken sausage. I'd love to see more. Thank you, Janet.

I am just starting making my own salamis and sausages, following a hobby of a friend of mine.
Discovering your website was a godsent. It has more information than I could dream was ever available, in simple language and so well laid out. I am really looking forward to experimenting; and my friend is over the moon too.

Thank you.

Hi Len,

You are a superstar!

Awesome job at organizing and sharing all of your fantastic information. Best sausage site in the whole internet! I've made two types so far, tasted one (which was a mix of a bunch of the hot italian sausages) and can't wait to taste the other (greek loukaniko). Eventually i'm sure i'll get around to trying some of the other ones :)

Wow! What a site. Was just turned on to it by a new butcher friend from Tennessee. I've done a lot of basic salami making over the years but was too intimidated(or under educated)to try fermentation in the salami or to make Copa which I love to eat. I have a couple of questions on copa curing and aging. I'll be e-mailing you soon if you don't mind. Thank-you
