The Pig had shoulders on sale this week so I picked up a 12lbr hoping to end up with 10lbs of grind. I read up on what I could find online and ground it twice. I ended up with 9.5 lbs. Half went to a plain smoked sausage recipe and the other half I added jalapeno and sharp cheddar. The Kitchen Aid grinder/stuffer was horrible. If I try it again I'm going to have to buy some other grinder/stuffer.
I ground it all up yesterday and stuffed it, ending up with 4 plates of sausage(below). This morning, I now have it on racks drying for a few hours before smoking this afternoon. We'll see how it goes. Sure smells good so far.
