Well, we had no takers for the Sausage category for this years American Royal BBQ Competition in Kansas City this year, so the job falls to me!
Started practicing for the Sausage Category for the AR. Decided I would try an Onion, Jalapeno & Garlic, a Sweet Italian and a Polish/German Hybrid. Just cooked up some of the OJG, added way to much of the liquid back, I used it to incorporate the Sodium Phosphate, Sodium Erythorbate, Cure and spices into the mix and it was way to much, tried to firm it up with some powdered milk, then some crackers and completely lost the mouth feel, but I was happy with the flavor. Will start again with that one! Will mix the other 2 tomorrow.
Our neighbor own and run Old House Vineyard's, they have agreed to allow us to bring the sausage and 3 of Kristin's dessert pratice entries over on Sunday after the close and will have them and a few of their employees taste and see which of the 3 they like the best! Will then just go with it for AR! My personal best finish is 67th in 2010, the teams best is 38th out or 310 in 2011...I am hoping to crack the top 50 this year!
Will try and update and add more pictures and up dates as they get done!
