Sausage Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sausage Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped cherries, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and diced pork fatback. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Casings

    Rinse the natural hog casings under cold water, then soak them in warm water for about 30 minutes to soften. Rinse again before using.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Sausage

    Using a sausage stuffer, carefully fill the prepared casings with the sausage mixture, being careful not to overfill. Twist sausages into links of desired length and tie off the ends securely.

  4. 4

    Cook the Sausage

    In a skillet or grill, cook the sausages over medium heat, turning occasionally until they are browned and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Let the sausages rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy!
