Thanks Habs!  I will read those. 

I'm liking the sausage making.   After Christmas I want to experiment with some "healthy" sausage.  As much as I love regular sausage I should not eat it.  For awhile I was able to buy some chicken breakfast sausage that was really good - it was heavily spiced and the texture was good- and the family would eat it.   I would love to duplicate it.   I have also had my eye on the turkey/cherry sausage in Charcuterie although I think this one has pork fat in it.

I've kept well salted casings from one year to the next with no problems at all.

Man, I've really hijacked this thread.  I'm sorry Deb and I didn't even do a dang thing to help you with your question.  My gosh, I've really gotta find a job soon.  Even I'm finding myself unbearable.............

the hijacking was not a problem ;D I kind of took the hijacking further anyways.   And we (or at least I) don't find you unbearable!

Hi Deb

I traveled international for years and always carried salted casings with us.  As long as there is enough salt to partly cover they will last for years in the frig..  As a mater of fact i had some for 4 years and they were still good.   
If you want to have fun try going through foreign customs with a container full of white powder (Dextros) plus zip lock bags full of other sausage mixes.  Fun & Games.

Merry Christmas to all
