- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon mace ground
- 1 teaspoon cloves, ground
- 3 lemon extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup cream heavy
- 1 x sausage casing
- Use veal shoulder or trimmings.
- Work veal twice through fine blade of grinder and add to large bowl.
- Sprinkle chives, salt, sage, pepper, sugar, mace, cloves and lemon extract over meat.
- Add eggs and cream and beat 5 minutes, until mixture comes away from sides of bowl.
- Fill casings with mixture and tie or twist into 5-6" lengths.
- Bring kettle of heavily salted water to boil.
- Lower in sausages, preferably in wire basket, and simmer very gently 2 to 3 minutes.
- Let cool in water, then drain.
- Store in refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- To serve: simmer in water for 10 to 15 minutes, drain and serve with bread and butter with sweet mustard as a seasoning.
- Several types of sausages are easy to make at home.
- Casings can be found in specialty meat markets and are traditionally made of animal intestines.
- Saltpeter (remember that from your military mess days?)
- is used as a preservative in some sausages and is available in drugstores.
- Fresh sausages do not keep well and should be used in a few days.
- The more spice, salt and saltpeter they contain means a longer storage time for the sausage.
