Have you looked at Franco's recipe on Len Poli's site?

http://lpoli.50webs.com/index_files/English%20Cumberland.pdf

I reckon you could omit the dextrose without compromise to the sausage if you wished.


Cumberland Sausage
60% Pork Shoulder = 600 grams
15% Pork Belly =150 grams
7.5%Rusk = 75 grams
15% Water = 150 grams
2.5%Spice Mix = 25 grams

I take it you don't want a kilo of cumberland mix, so just treat the % as grams.

SPICE MIX
72% Salt = 72 grams
13.5% Ground Black Pepper = 13.5 grams
4.5% Ground Nutmeg = 4.5 grams
4.5% Ground Mace = 4.5 grams
4.5% Ground Coriander = 4.5 grams

Cumberland Sausage
60lbs Pork Shoulder
15lbs Pork Belly
7.5lbsRusk
15lbs Water ( a pint is a pound the year around)
2.5lbsSpice Mix



SPICE MIX
1.8 lbs Salt
.33 lbs Ground Black Pepper
.12 Ground Nutmeg
.12 Ground Mace
.12 Ground Coriander
=2.49 lbs the extra .01 you can add some canadian wiskey for good measure

Exchange piunds for metric at same ratio. You can even 1/2 the recipe except the Canadian wiskey....

(if I wasn't Canadian I'd be 1/2 Irish or 1/2 Scottish, where did my parents get off with that mix)

Hi once again (on this link)
I have just finished my "bought" blend of Cumberland and want to make the recipe you all listed here.
However, I looked at len Poli's site as suggested by PK and found that he does not use Corriander in his recipe.

Which recipe will give me the excellent flovour I am after...

I really like this blend, possibly my favourite, and want to reproduce it as near to the original as possible.

Thanks in advance...help needed....

FWIW - The application for PDO status for Cumberland Sausage giving the 'standards' for it are here (pdf file). Makes interesting reading.

John which blend is it you like, is it Franco's?

[johnfb]

Hi Wallie
No, I get my mixes from Weschenfelder, it's their cumberland and herb mix...really nice, not like anything I have tasted here.
I really want to make it like that one but the 2 different recipes are throwing me off.

Could you shed any light on this fdor me?

thanks

John,
Try making up a very small amount of the two spice mixes, make a couple of patties and see which one is closest to the bought in mix, then start messing about with the blend, again making small amounts and testing it in patties.
