Preparation

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork shoulder and pork fat. Finely chop the garlic and add it to the mixture. Then, add paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and red wine. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

Prepare the Sausage Casings
Rinse the sausage casings under cold water to remove any salt. Soak them in water for about 30 minutes to make them pliable.

Stuff the Sausage
Using a sausage stuffer, carefully fill the sausage casings with the meat mixture. Be sure to leave some space at the ends to tie off the sausages. Twist sausages into desired lengths and tie off the ends securely.

Cure the Sausage
Hang the sausages in a cool, dry place for a few hours to allow them to dry slightly. If you prefer, you can smoke the sausages at this stage for added flavor.
