Ingredients
1 kg pork shoulder
18 gms Salt
6 gms Fennel
4 gms white pepper

Notes
Found this very simple for my first lot of snags. I did two batches so two kilograms of sausages all up.

The casings were size 28/30 which I think are a bit large for my liking so will drop down to 26/28 next time.

We taste tested the meat mixture before hand and they were very palatable with just the right amount of fennel. Salt was up there but not unbearable.

Yes, some are misshapen and they have more bubbles than they could have but for a first attempt, spot on.

That’s Boxing Day breakfast sorted.

Go for it Muzz. Was a bit daunting the first time. We found it was a two person job with the sausage machine as turning the handle and guiding the casings a bit difficult. In saying that the process is quite easy.

Even though I have been eating snags for 70 years it is now nice to know what is in them.

I think I am now going to need one of those vacuum sealers. The gadgets never end.

Son-in-law Mat here today so we made a batch of these sausages just to show him how easy it is. I think I have home hooked. He’s been online checking out equipment and recipes.

Made one and a half kilos of these yesterday. Think I may of overdone the salt a bit though so a salty batch of snags.

Also my first real effort at linking them.
