Packing-houses
50 pounds fresh lean specially trimmed pork shoulder,
trimming free from sinews,
60 pounds fresh Boston butt trimmings,
20 pounds extra lean beef chucks, trimmed absolutely
free from sinews,
20 pounds shoulder fat,
5 pounds salt,
2¹⁄₂ ounces white pepper,
1¹⁄₂ ounces saltpetre,
1 ounce whole pepper.
Chop at least six blocks (900 pounds) of this sausage and mix at one
time by hand in a large truck constructed for the purpose, in order to
add the following additional seasoning. For the six blocks use:
3¹⁄₂ quarts strong imported French red wine,
¹⁄₄-pound package pure white gelatine,
4 nutmegs,
¹⁄₂ ounce whole cloves,
1 ounce stick cinnamon.
Prepare same as similar formula for D’Arles sausage and mix with the
meat after it has been rocked by hand thoroughly. The beef is ground
through an Enterprise ⁷⁄₆₄th-inch plate. Shoulder fat is cut into
small thin pieces but not in the shape of dice. Rock the beef and
the shoulder fat together with the dry seasoning for seven to ten
minutes, then add the pork trimmings, the whole being chopped twenty
to twenty-five minutes. This sausage is not as coarse as D’Arles or
Italian salami.
After the meat and wet seasoning have been mixed thoroughly put in
cooler twelve to twenty-four hours. Then stuff by hand into hog middle
guts, as large as can be obtained. The way to stuff them successfully
is to arrange a board to hold the casings after they are stuffed so
that it will be just high enough from the filler to permit the casings
to be filled and not handled other than to hold them with sufficient
pressure to stuff as tightly as possible without breakage.
If the middles break, which they do in many cases, patch them with a
piece of hog middle when they are being wound with string. They should
be lifted with care from the stuffing board, placed upon a truck and
wrapped immediately with No. 4 flax twine, the same as D’Arles sausage,
the string running equidistant around the sausage from either end and
being wound around it so as to form squares.
As the casings are so very tender, it requires great care in wrapping
and the sausage is usually not of uniform appearance. Greater care must
be used in tying this sausage than D’Arles, salami or any other sausage
known. The casings are so thin that the meat will become dry and hard
on the outside or near the casings while the inside will remain moist,
therefore too much exposure is not desirable. They should be watched
closely after stringing, because, not being allowed to dry before they
are strung, the handling which they get will naturally make them slime
very easily. It takes at least sixty days to dry this sausage properly
with the best conditions. Not smoked.
