A Porkinson clone

Postby sevorg » Sun Mar 11, 2018 11:03 am

Following on from my recent post Not a BLT - viewtopic.php?f=1&t=13197 here is the recipe for what I think is a reasonable approximation to the good old Porkinson sausage that ceased to be made a few years back and was my all time favourite commercial sausage. Ingredients all as a % of the meat weight.

Please note, as this is a combination of three recipes, some of the ingredients are in a very small proportion if they only appear in one of the three recipes as there will only be a third of the original quantity in here. For my next batch I will drop the last four ingredients as I doubt it they can be detected in these quantities.

Pork 80% lean 20% fat

Iced water 15%
Rusk 11.5%
seasoning 2.45%

Seasoning
Salt 1.44%
Black pepper 0.16%
White pepper 0.20%
Sage 0.24%
Nutmeg 0.13%
Mace 0.06%
Thyme 0.02%
Ground coriander 0.06%
Ginger 0.06%
Parsley 0.03%
Cayenne 0.01%
Dextrose 0.06%
Allspice 0.01%

For anyone who gives these a try, and can remember the Porkinson, I'd be interested in your feedback and any suggestions to make them more like the originals.

I'm trying to remember whether the original ones were better. The ones made by Kerry foods that were basically a Richmond sausage but with more meat weren't to my liking.

However, I think they were claimed to be 80% pork.

I must admit, i did enjoy the odd Porkinson sausage from Morrisons, who used to stock them. The spice/seasonings were just right for a 'breakfast' type sausage. There was a fashion programme on TV this week that featured Norman Parkinson - the creator of this sausage, which led me back here to look for a recipe.
