Bratwurst...lots of Bratwurst....


So this weekend,  I joined my Laurel, Annectje and our friend Penni and produced 50 lbs of Bratwurst for an event in December.  Here's the recipe:

Many thanks to the people at Wegman's, who gave us a discount on the bone-in pork shoulders.  I picked them up on Saturday morning, drove them to Annectje's and we boned and portioned them, bagged them up and put them in the freezer overnight.

Today, I took the toys down to Annectje's and we ground the pork coarsely and seasoned it with marjoram, thyme, parsley, cumin, nutmeg and salt.  After we fried up a sample and confirmed it was seasoned correctly, we then ground it a second time through a finer plate.

After the meat was ground and seasoned, we used a stuffer to put it into casings.


Casings being washed before use.

The final product.


Now safely tucked away...
