Homesick Yankee's seem to love em. A little bland for me.
Bigwheel's Lonesome Yankee Brats(Revised 6/16/2014)
5-7 lb Boston Butt
1 cup water or *beer
1 1/2 teaspoons salt per pound of meat.
1 T. sugar
1 t. coriander
1 t. sage
1 t. paprika
1 t. teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 t. rosemary
1 T. dry mustard
1 T. black pepper (fine grind)
1 big pinch ground nutmeg
1 small pinch ground cloves
hog guts
Mix all spices into the liquid and place in the freezer while you debone the butt and cut the meat to fit the grinder. Pour spiced liquid over the cut meat and mix well. Run through med or fine plate and mix well again. Stuff into the guts and twist into links about 5" long.
Refrigerate immediately and freeze any not used within a couple of days.*Beer seems to intensify the flavor of the spices. So if you like a little more pronounced spice flavor use beer.(Budweiser works well). If you like a little blander use water.
