Traditions Sausage

A good class for those who want to start making their own sausages. Cost of the class is very, very reasonable not to mention that we were also served with a great simple lunch with wine. This is not the Culinary Institute of America so expect that you’ll be working in a decent home kitchen. Frank and Marilyn are such awesome hosts !!!

Frank and Marilyn are very nice people, and Frank knows a lot about sausage. Marilyn puts on a very nice meal, featuring Frank’s sausages. The meal was the best part about this experience.
However, as someone who should know the rules of a kitchen, Frank breaks pretty much all the hygiene rules I grew up with. Like, don’t use the dish towel to wipe your bloody hands on and then use that bloody towel to wipe down the wooden cutting board that you will then later cut the finished product on. He brought out the ground pork in tubs in which he later put the stuffed sausage. I was about ready to leave at that point.
I left with five pounds of sausage I actually wanted to wash when I got home.
So how to fix this is to clean the kitchen. Use sanitary practices when making meat products. Wash your cutting boards and counters properly, and you won’t scare off the true foodies.

Woohoo! is right!
Sign up now for your class at Traditions Sausage. Frank and Marilyn are the best and most gracious hosts!
Sign up for their sausage making class — make it a gift to your closest friends so that you can do the private class of 6 together. We did, for a Christmas present to our friends this past year.
Frank is extremely knowledgable and fun as the sausage making instructor. Marilyn, his wife, cooks a yummy meal for you and your guests after the 1−½ hours of learning about sausage and how it’s made, the ingredients, hands-​on mixing, cranking the sausage machine and stuffing the casings. It was sooooooooooooooooo much FUN! We laughed and had a great great time with each other.
Frank and Marilyn are so nice and relaxed about having a bunch of strangers in their home. It was awesome to make the sausage and then get to eat in their dining room. It’s as if you’re visiting your uncle and aunt and simply just hanging out.
We each came home with 10 lbs of sausage. That’s right TEN POUNDS. We’ve made delicious sausage soup and have shared with friends and they’ve raved about the flavor.
Don’t even hesitate to sign up. Just sign up already! Be prepared to have a fun and educational afternoon with Frank and Marilyn.

If you or someone you know claims to be a foodie, or, if there is someone in your community who proudly touts their claims to know one or more things about pork, well, then, THIS is the class for you!
Traditions Sausage has been up and running for years, but my mom and I just discovered their services for the first time this weekend. This opportunity to bond with mom was more like a belated Christmas gift, but, let me tell you, it was worth waiting for. (also worth it’s weight in sausage-​making jokes… but I digress!)
So, the class was more like a sausage appreciation course than anything else. We were walked through the recipes, the grinding process, the curing process, how to mix spices and make spice rubs, and, of course, HOW TO EAT (this was my favorite part!!!). We all left full of good wine and good food, and with the yummy flavor of good conversation still fresh in our mouths (…not to mention the 5 lbs of sausage in tote)! Needless to say, I have the menu for my next party planned and it’s all thanks to Traditions Sausage. They’ve got a great thing going on here and if you’re into eating locally or just making your own food, this class is a must-​have!
