Biershinken

Was talking with Up in Smoke and shared this recipe with him. Thought I would post it again with a small pictorial for those that have thought about making their own sausage. It is a good recipe to start out learning cures with.


BIERSHINKEN

Take 2 1/2 lbs lean pork butt ( I usually use tenderloin but not necessary) and cube it into 3/4 inch cubes. Toss with tender quick per tender quick directions and put in fridge a couple days.

Take 1 1/4 lb pork butt cubed and season it like bologna and emulsify with some ice water in a food processor til it is a paste. Add 2 tsp nonfat dry milk and blend in the processor--it will get stiff. Mix the emulsified meat with the cubed meat and stuff into 2 1/2 -3 inch fibrous casings (Summer Sausage size). I just spoon it in and keep packing it down in the casing.

Seasoning for emulsified meat:
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ginger
1 tsp mace
1/2 tsp coriander
1/4 tsp cure #1


Smoke at 170 til 152 internal.

Then give bath in Ice water to stop the cooking and cool down to 100. Then refrigerate.


The Boston Butt separated and ready for the fridge.







Everything all mixed together ready for Stuffing



Ready for the Smoker



After 8 1/2 hours at 170 degrees and 152 internal it was time for a bath (DO NOT place your probe in the water as I did it WILL KILL the probe)



A couple Hours in the fridge and I just had to see how it looked and tasted. The verdict is Awesome smoked ham flavor!!!  Yes I used a Venison Sausage casing for this one, it was the last one I had

It is to drive away unwanted nibblers.

I was just kidding. It is a spice ground from the layer between a nutmeg shell and its outer husk, resembling nutmeg in flavor.
