INSTRUCTIONS
Here's one of my very favorite sausages:
"This is from Catalonia, in Spain. It's believed that the North
African/Moorish influence is what inspired the use of sweet spices (nutmeg,
cloves, etc) in Spanish cooking. While meat and spices can sound weird,
when done well it's really good."
Mix together [a]. Knead together [b]. Knead [a] into [b]. Stuff into the
casings. Tie off to make two 30"-long sausages. Prick any air pockets with
a pin. Dry the sausages in the refrigerator, uncovered, hung from the
shelves or on a wire shelf (you want as much surface as possible exposed to
air, so coiling it on a solid shelf won't work), for 2-3 days before
cooking. Then poach and/or fry or cut up and use in recipes. The dried
sausage can be frozen for 3-4 months.

A Message from our Provider:
“Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts. #Andrew Murray”
