Stuff the Sausage
If making sausage links, rinse the hog casings under cold water and soak them in warm water for about 30 minutes. Fit a sausage stuffer with the casing, and carefully stuff the meat mixture into the casing, being sure not to overfill. Twist the sausages into links of your desired size.
