A Family Affair-making sausage

I wish I could manage to blog in REAL time instead of a week behind! Oh, well. It is what it is! LAST Saturday, I went out to my Dad and Stepmom's for some sausage-making! In the photo, my brother, his youngest son and my Dad are stuffing the first Summer Sausage we have ever made. It is wonderful! We will definitely be making it again!
Here the summer sausage is stuffed and waiting to be smoked, while we stuffed the regular sausage.
We hang the links in a pump house. We were lucky to have a cool, clear and dry day!
We hung the summer sausage last!
The last step is to get the hickory shavings lit, and the smoking begins. It smells wonderful! After several hours of smoking the sausage is ready to wrap, freeze and provide many delicious meals!
Y'all come back,
