Toms Peppered Holiday Summer Sausage Recipes

HOLIDAY SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Cut sausage links into quarters (1 1/2-inch pieces) and brown lightly in a skillet.
• Mix brown sugar, salt and cornstarch in a chafing dish.

• Boil for five minutes.
• Add remaining ingredients.
• Serve hot from chafing dish.

HOMEMADE SUMMER SAUSAGE AKA SALAMI

Steps:

• Mix together all ingredients in a nonmetal bowl. It is easier to mix the seasoning with the water, then incorporate the meat, using your hands to distribute all spices evenly (like making a meatloaf). A note, based on a review, do not over mix the meat or it will be tough. This is true about any kind of meat, work it just enough to get every thing incorporated.
• I use an ice cream bucket and place a lid on top.
• Refrigerate for 24 hours.
• Remove from bowl and roll into 4 rolls, about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick.
• Wrap in aluminum foil with shiny side towards meat.
• Punch tiny holes along one side and place in a broiler pan with holes down to drain out liquid.
• Bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove foil and rewrap in plastic wrap.
• Ready to use or freeze.

• Place rounds into pan and let cook 3-4 minutes until bubbled up (like bologna) and a rich red color on bottom, turn and cook other side, they may not bubble back the other way but 3-4 minutes should be good.
