Apple Brats For Aaron

[NePaSmoKer]

Here ya go Amigo

2.5 lbs lean meat (lean poke will do)
2.5 lb fatty poke butt
16 oz diced granny smith apples, peeled
1.5 T non iodized salt
1.5 T black pepper
1.5 T ground coriander
2 T garlic granules
2 T Paprika
2 T dextrose powder
3 T chopped parsley
1 T cinnamon
1/2 cup cold water
1 cup NFPDM
Hog casings

Adjust the recipe to your taste.


Grind all meat thru med plate 1 time. Mix the NFPDM with the water, set aside. Mix the remaining ingredients into the ground meat. Now mix in the milk. Mix well and stuff into casings. Make your desired length links. Freeze the links with a double wrap of freezer paper OR Place parchment on a cookie sheet, place links on the sheet and freeze the links before vac sealing. Vac sealing soft fresh sausage will make them smoosh.

One more thing, Garlic granules, is that the prepared stuff in liquid in a small jar? Kinda like fresh?

Think it means "granulated" garlic.

Thanks Sandy, I always get confused with Garlic powder, Garlic salt and granulatated ;)

[NePaSmoKer]

Larger grind than the powder.

Aaron just as a side note. 1 can of beer per 5 pounds of meat. Along with 3 pounds of shredded mozzarella per 25 pound batch. When I be making brats those are the rates I follow you can adjust to make it fit your needs
