DANISH SMOKED SAUSAGE
The following recipes have been obtained from the largest and best sausage
factory of Copenhagen.
Use 25 pounds each of lean beef and pork, 12 lbs. of fat cut fine, and 8
lbs. of fat cut into small dice, 2 1/2 lbs. salt, 30 grams powdered saltpeter,
70 grams powdered sugar, 85 grams ground white pepper. Remove all sinews, then
chop the beef and pork together; when about half chopped, add the 12 lbs. of fat
and finish by chopping all fine, adding the seasonings toward the finish; then
work in thoroughly the 8 pounds of fat cut in small dice. When well mixed the
whole mass should be packed tightly in a wooden trough for 24 hours so as to
allow the saltpeter to effect its color and also render the mass more firm. The
meat is then placed into the sausage filler, and filled into beef casings AS
TIGHTLY AS POSSIBLE. The tighter the skin is filled, the better the sausage will
be for cutting when dried. When the casings are filled, they should be laid
in a pickling tub and lightly covered with coarse salt, place a board on top and
let them remain till the salt has turned into pickle, then lift them out and
hang in the air until ALL moisture has run off the. When dry, they should be
smoked in cold smoke until they are a rich dark brown in color. The sausage is
then ready for eating, and will keep for several months. Length, about 18 inches.

adding the seasonings towards the finish, then add the diced fat and thoroughly
mix. When mixed place in the filler and fill TIGHTLY into beef casings,
tying into 18 inch lengths; hang in the air for 24 hours, then smoke in very

the skins.
