Title: Smoked Pickled Sauage
Post by: gregbooras on December 31, 2017, 04:17:35 PM

This will be my first shot at the smoked pickled sausage. After reading 30+ recipes, I put together a recipe that looked like it would be good. If this works well I may also pickle some eggs and next time smoke the sausage in my 3d!
Now I just have to wait 5 days to see what the result is.

Smoked Pickled Sausage

Ingredients:
13 oz. Roasted Garlic Smoked Sausage (Kiolbassa Smoked Meat - Texas) sliced 1” chunks
½ sliced sweet onion (then cut in half again)
1 ½ cups apple cider vinegar
½ cup water
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 t. pickling spice
1 t crushed red peppers
1 t minced garlic
1 t sea salt

Directions:
Clean a 32-oz. jar and lid and set aside. Slice the sausage into 1” chunks and then slice the sweet onion. Add some onion to the jar then sausage and the repeat.

Next add the remaining ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat stir and then simmer for 10 mins. Remove from burner and allow to cool for 20 minutes. Pour the liquid over the sausage and onions. If there is still room in the jar top off with additional apple cider vinegar.

Place in the refrigerator and leave alone for at least 5 days, this will keep in the refrigerator for about 2 months.

It has been a week, so I decided to try the sausages again. The taste pretty good, but I think they need more time in the solution. I am thinking that they need a bit more sugar so topped off the jar with some pickle juice. I may also add a bit more crushed red peppers, but I will give it another week.

I did a test batch of eggs today.  Waiting sucks with this stuff, doesn't it?

Greg, that brand also makes a Jalapeno flavor sausage.  Have you tried that one?

Dave,
I have not, but I have tried the others and really like them. Next time a bogo happens I plan to pick up a pack!
