Course Overview

Make your own sausage, flavored the way you like it, using your favorite meats. As a class, students will make and take home four to five kinds of sausage of their choosing from a list of about ten varieties. These will be fresh, non-smoked, non-cured sausages like bratwurst, breakfast sausage, Moroccan, Polish, Italian, Chorizo, and more. Sausage meats include pork, chicken, beef, and if students choose, wild game brought from home (e.g. venison). Learn how to grind, season (using no MSG or preservatives), stuff, cook, eat, and serve the best sausages in the world–taking home about 25 lb of fresh sausage! Homemade, handmade, fresh from the kitchen—it doesn't get any better than this. Youth ages 10+ may register if accompanied by an adult. A 25% tuition discount applies to the youth registrant when registering with a full paying adult; call to register. Materials fee of $100-$125 payable to the instructor during class. Please bring cash or check.
