Hi there!! forgot to tell that due to vinegar acid,natural casings turn somewhat whitish, but that's normal.They freeze well for three months or more. Being a large family as we are, when we make sausages they don't last very long,thouhg. :lol:

federico,

Do you strain the garlic before adding it to the mix or does all the wine and vinegar get included?
