I tried Walleye's recipe with come Kielbasa and it was fantastic. Californians don't know what pickled eggs or sausages are, so it was really fun to show them what they had been missing!

Thanks again for posting that. It really is good. You should try doing some with the jalapeños. The sausage itself just gains a very subtle heat, not hot at all. The jalapeños themselves still retain a little heat though. Yum! I just sliced the fresh jalapeños, seeds and all.

There is a good recipe in the book "Great Sausage and Meat Curing by Rytek Kutas"  If you don't have the book and you are interested let me know and I will send you the recipe.

If your talking about a pickling recipe help me out, what chapter and page? Or my book is too old. If it's the Kielbasa recipe your right it's one of the best that I've used.

Oops... I was thinking of the Pickled Polish Sausage Recipe on page 274, sorry about that.

Please let us know how it turns out, I will have to make a batch.

When I was a boy my mother every once in a while would bring home pickled sausages from the store. I think the brand was Pen-Rose or something.  Man... I love these and also the pickled eggs.  As we were pretty poor (and these sausages were pretty pricey) she would cut up hotdogs and stick holes in them with a fork and place in the jar with the pickle/water remaining from the sausages trying to save money(bless her heart).  Of course it didn't work very well.

I've been thinking..and with the vacuum thingy for using a mason jar as a container (or the plastic foodsaver container for this purpose) why not vacuum the sausage in a container to speed up the pickling process.  I tried one of the recipes and did this and after a couple of days the sausage was pretty good.  Just a thought.  Man I wish I could duplicate this store bought recipe!

For the life of me I couldn't find it. Da, I'm getting old. Your book must be newer I finally found it on page 267. Thanks anyway.

The Pen-Rose pickeled sausages are still sold.  They have small jars and very large jars.  The price isn't bad either.  I have seen them in many stores but most commonly at Wal-Mart by the jerky.  Hope you find some, I agree they are pretty good.

Never had pickled kielbasa before, but I'm definitely intrigued....

I will admit that some of the sausage I have pickled, I have overcooked due to not paying attention. The pickling just brings them back to life and turns them into little "flavor explosions" when you bite into one.
Adjust heat to your liking and you have a winner.

Well, wife is getting ready to go to Wal-mart (not for me though, puff). I asked her to look for the Pen-Rose PS. Hope she finds it.

I'm with you on Walmart.....I can't say that I hate the place, but it is not my favorite place.

Well, I had some creole style links frozen and couldn't resist trying the pickled recipe.  I thawed and cut the links into about 2 inch links and put them into a quart mason jar..covered with the pickle and vacuumed with my foodsaver.  Now for the wait. I peeled the casings off.. don't know if I needed to do that or not.
