I was watching a re-run of River Cottage when he took his two pigs to slaughter and they did all sorts with them including sausages.
That got me thinking as years ago I used to make sausages and really enjoyed them but then the butcher I got me skins stopped selling them and I struggled so over time the sausage gun got relegated to the back off the cupboard!
Several years on and this tinterweb thing has made shopping so much easier so I googs sausage skins and wayhay loads of them so I bought some and they arrived.
So last Saturday night as the wifey and eldest were out, little legs and I set about making some sausages (first time for Livi)
We made a load of mexican chorizio and a load of pork n apple....


Left in the fridge over night then linked them and had the pork n apple for Sunday brecky, forgotten just how tasty they are

Impressive!!!!

I have just bought Paul Peacocks sausage making book but so far have been too busy to make any, apart from a batch of chicken beyti and souvlakia.

Wow! They look good. Are the sausage skins natural?

Nope, a friend recommended a brand of the collagen ones and I have to say they were very good, no bursts during filling or cooking and you really didn't know you were biting into it.
80ft for a fiver and with a average shelf life of 2 years

They look lovely Aidy.  I used to make all mine, but can't be bothered now.  Burgers and sausage patties are so much easier!

Can you let me know if this would be suitable for our allergen list. If so I'll buy.

The majority of the recipes have rusk or breadcrumbs in them, so I don't think it would be of any use to you. X

In both these sausages no rusk or breadcrumb was used, just meat, herbs, onions, apple, garlic etc.

The casings are made by a company called Nitta Casings, there should be some info on there that may help you

There were a few doing the rounds which used par boiled rice as filler I think you'd be ok with BQ. Looking at those Im tempted to order some more skins myself
