Cumberland by Oddley
Thread
http://forum.sausagemaking.org/viewtopic.php?t=3542johnfb was asking for a Cumberland recipe, although I have made a few, none stood out, so I determined to develop one myself, staying within the guidelines in the APPLICATION TO REGISTER: �TRADITIONAL CUMBERLAND SAUSAGE�
The guidelines state that the Cumberland sausage should
1: Be of a wider diameter than average.
2: Have a high meat content (of at least 80%).
3: The meat used must be pork.
4: Be rough-cut, giving a coarse texture.
5: must be encased in natural pig intestines.
6: Be more highly seasoned that other sausages.
7: must not contain any skin, gristle, rind, offal or any form of MRM.
The recipe below meets all these requirements. besides all that it tastes quite nice as well.
Please follow the recipe the first time you make them. If you do make them, some feedback would also be nice.
