I got this old family recipe from D’Hanis hog farmer, deer hunter and sausage-maker Dennis Herrmann. Use this recipe as a guide, but if you’re serious about making sausage, try to get invited to a few sausage-making parties, where you can learn from the pros. I consider sausage-making a culinary art that takes time, persistence and a good smokehouse. It’s also a great reason to get together with friends and family to celebrate a Texas food tradition. (Equipment note: The equipment for sausage-making is a big investment. At the very least, you will need a meat grinder with a sausage-stuffer attachment.).—Amy Crowell
(“Don’t use the synthetic casings! They’re just not as good,” says Dennis.)
