Sausage help!

[jhatt87]

I am a total newbie when it comes to making sausage. I am making Italian sausage as we speak and I just stuffed and made the links, but when can I cut the links into individual links? Won't it just come apart and the sausage spill out? Please anyone, let me know if I can cut the links or if I have to freeze it as it is! Thanks!

Look up the mesquite country sausage thread. Very informative. Mine turned out great

Just pinch/twist the casing at the end....or just cut it....the meat will stay in the casing

The meat probably won't stay in if the link is not smoked. The Italian sausage is probably frozen fresh. I always tie off fresh sausages.

Pinch the link at about 5 inches and twist clockwise. Move up about 5inches and pinch, then twist counter clockwise, move up 8 inches pinch and twist counter clockwise . Repeat untill you get to the end of the gut.
