Sausage Maker needed for recipe

Hello,
As a part time home sausage maker, I'm looking for a recipe for Krakowska. I know it's stuffed in a 4 inch casing, making it great for sliced lunch meat, it's made with fresh lean ham, and has a good amount of garlic. I also believe it is then smoked. If by chance we have a butcher/sausage maker in the audience who'd be willing to part with a recipe, I'd be very appreciative!

Thank you.

You should use good wood (pear or plum tree are very good I think) to smoke the meat. Don't use any cheap wood - the natural is best.

I'm looking for a good recipe for homemade kiebasa.smoked

First of all you should have good pig (100 kg middle fatty is the best)

A sharp knife and................................

Can be be made from other types of meat in place pork?

and a banjo? :D

I can't smoke kielbasa-it gets my bong too greasy.

hahahahahah.. rofl, noooo kidding.

Polish sausages often seem to be named after their place of origin. If you're making Polish-style sausages outside of Poland, you may have to Polonicise your local place-name.


What about applewood? There are plenty of apple trees in Poland. The country seems to be full of them.
Then what about Alder (olsza)? Is this ever used?

Only juniper :-) The best myśliwska kiełbasa (hunter's sausage) is only smoked using juniper.

Wild juniper. Juniperus communis. Jałowiec pospolity. Just a little bit of juniper berry works very well with venison. The berries are also used in gin, but I think we should swiftly move on from the old "mother's ruin" and turn to sausages! As a wood for smoking, it's not one I've seen mention of before, but now looking at it, it's obviously a prime candidate.
