Homemade Sausages Recipe
Everybody loves homemade sausages. Though it requires a lot fuss in the kitchen, you can be sure there won’t be any chemical additives in your sausage. Homemade sausages are 100% natural and you can eat them even without removing the skin. Preferably, you will need fresh and cooled meat with streaks of fat in it. Buy ready-made hog casings, otherwise you’ll have to scrape them with a knife several times, then rinse in running water thoroughly, turn them inside out and repeat the process. Finally, you have to soak them in water mixed with vinegar overnight to remove any possible smell.
