Instructions

  1. Soak crushed garlic in wine overnight and casings in lukewarm water for 6 hours.

  2. Combine ground pork, pepper, paprika, salt, optional saltpeter, garlic-wine mixture, onion, bread, and water in a large bowl; mix thoroughly. Refrigerate the covered mixture for several hours, then re-mix and fry a small patty to test seasoning.

  3. Rinse soaked casings and fill them with the meat mixture, avoiding air pockets, then twist into uniform lengths.

  4. Smoke the sausages for 2-3 days, or pan-fry/roast fresh sausage.

  5. To prepare smoked sausage, place it in cold water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes before draining and serving.
