New Guy...Polish Sausage in Progress...Question...

[coldmark]

Nice site! Glad I found it. I'm in the middle of my first attempt at sausage Here's what I've done so far:

Day 1: brought home a 9 lb pork butt
Day 2: Cubed it and added salt and seasoning and a cup of ice water, covered and put in the fridge
Day 3: Nothing
Day 4: Ran out of time so I froze it in 2 ziploc bags and went to deer hunting camp
Day 8: Put it in the garage to thaw (approximately 40 degrees F in there)
Day 9: Put on the counter for 2 hours until fully thawed, grinded it, put back in the fridge
Day 10: Today is day 10, I'm about to put it in the casings after I read the instructions

Question: After I put it in the casings, can I freeze the sausage after already feezing the cubed pork? Also, I'm going to serve it at camp on Saturday, assuming it turns out ok. Will it keep for 3 days? Or should I freeze it? Or partially cook it? Thanks!

personally, I think pork is forgiving, and can be frozen; thawed; frozen; thawed. it may dry out somewhat as it does lose some liquid. I have done this without apparent problem. as for the 3 days after stuffing, and before serving, I assume it will be properly refrigerated for those 3 days. if so, what is the problem? it is salted and cold, both of which retard spoilage. after 3 days, if it smells sour, chuck it. if not, cook it fully and enjoy. that's my opinion.
