Cumberland sausage is a probably one of the most famous of the British regional sausages. It is a spicy peppery sausage with herbs and pepper. The sausage hails from a county named Cumberland at the top of the English lake district.
I normally run through a recipe first before filming just to reacquaint myself with it, but this time, I wanted to just film the process and highlight the problems that you may come across if you have never made sausage before. I'm not a butcher, and the mistakes are genuine, thankfully the sausage ended up tasting amazing! :)
Cumberland Sausage Recipe
5lbs Pork shoulder
2 tablespoons kosher (or sea) salt
1 tablespoon white pepper. (You can also use black)
1 cup rusk / breadcrumbs / crackers
1 tablespoon sage (fresh or dried)
1 tsp mace
1 pinch of cayenne pepper
Hog casings
If you have never made your own sausage, I urge you to give it a go. And good luck! :)
