Re: Legal Bacon and sausage?

,

I'm not sure whether you have Kroger where you live, but in our health food

section of Kroger there is bacon that is just pork and salt. No sweeteners, no

preservatives. It's in the frozen case with the " health food " pizzas, etc.

Since it

has no preservatives, it's kept in the freezer.

As for sausage, I just make my own with a recipe that someone posted to the

list. It's fabulous! I'll try to post it soon. You can use ground turkey,

chicken or

pork to make it. YUM!

Henry's and all of them have additives. Are there any brands of bacon and

items.

bacon wit less salt often has no sugar. In Canada it's maple Leaf 33% less salt.

I do not

know the U.S. brands.

A butcher can make a legal sausage for you or you ca make your own patties from

ground

meat by adding suitable spices.

http://www.sausagemania.com/tutorial.html

or without casing:

INGREDIENTS

3-1/2 pounds boneless pork butt (do not trim the fat)

1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

2-1/2 teaspoons salt, or to taste

4 teaspoons rubbed sage

1 tablespoon dried thyme

1-1/2 teaspoons ground savory

1/4 teaspoon ground mace

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Cut the pork into thin slices or as directed by the manufacturer of the food

grinder. Pass

through a coarse blade twice. Add the remaining ingredients and toss gently with

your

hands. Take about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and fry in a small skillet. Taste

for

seasoning. (If your are like me, you might have to do this several times before

you get it

right.) Add whatever you like. When you are happy, shape into thin 3-inch round

patties.

Refrigerate until use.

Heat a large skillet over high heat. Depending on the amount of fat in the

sausage, you

will not need to use oil to fry, especially in a nonstick pan. Fry the patties

until well

browned and thoroughly cooked, about 4 minutes per side depending on thickness.

Serve

immediately or keep in warm oven.
