one-day course

sausage-making


location, nr Ripon, North Yorkshire

This one-day course will take you through the process of turning pork into juicy sausages. Using pork from the free-range, organically-fed pigs raised on the farm, bread (not rusk), herbs and seasoning, you will mix, mince, stuff, link and bag - and have some fun doing it! Samples of your endeavours will be served for lunch and you will go home with some sausages too.

The course is aimed at those wanting to make sausages for themselves at home or on a small scale. It will be of particular interest to smallholders who keep their own pigs and may have been disappointed by the sausages made by their butcher.

This is a hands-on, practical day with plenty of discussion and question time. Content will include:

  • cuts of meat used
  • equipment used
  • preparing the ingredients and quantities
  • making the sausages
  • dried and smoked sausages
