Expertly created for enthusiasts who take pleasure in crafting their own culinary delights, LEM Products Backwoods Cured Sausage Seasonings are precisely what you need to transform your favorite meats into flavorful sausages. Crafted with a fusion of top-grade spices, our Reduced Sodium Summer Sausage seasoning has all the same great flavor as our regular Summer Sausage seasoning, but with 25% less sodium. Grind a mixture containing at least 20% pork or pork fat, then dissolve the seasoning in water, mixing thoroughly with the meat. To make sausages, roll in logs, rolling back and forth to remove air, or stuff into fibrous or non-edible collagen casings after they have been soaked. Then, preheat your oven to 300°F and place the log in for approximately an hour. If using a casing, after stuffing, refrigerate the sausages overnight. The following day, preheat your oven to 180°F, cook in the oven, or smoke it in a smoker until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and cool. Each 4.1 oz. packet seasons up to five pounds of sausage and contains a pre-measured packet of cure. Contains no MSG. *Sodium content has been lowered from 680mg to 500mg per serving.
