Recipe - John Mitchells Ukrainian Kielbasa

1 Three fourths pound Sirloin tips; (well marbled)
1 pound Boston but
One half pound Country smoked bacon
1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon Butcher grind black pepper
2 tablespoon Cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon Dried marjoram
One half teaspoon Ground coriander
2 tablespoon Minced garlic
2 teaspoon Sugar
2 teaspoon Kosher salt
One half teaspoon Morton's Quick Cure
1 tablespoon Mustard seeds
One fourth cup Water
One fourth cup Slivovitz or other fruit
brandy

Just finished making our traditional sausage for Easter and thought I might
share the recipe with you all as it is a terrific sausage recipe handed
down by my grandfather. I remember making sausage and smoking them in the
fireplace when I was very young. I guess that's when I started my love for
smoke cooked barbecue. Gosh, been at it a long time!!!! Anyway, here is the
recipe for real Ukrainian Kielbasa.

Cut meat into one inch cubes and place in plastic bag and into freezer.
Mince garlic to total 2 tablespoons. Dump the kosher salt on top of the
garlic and with the side of the knife blade, using a rocking motion, make a
salt/garlic paste. Place the paste in a bowl and add the remaining
seasonings. Add the ater and slivovitz (plum brandy) and stir to blend all
seasonings. Grind the Boston butt and the bacon with your fine grinder
plate and the sirloin tips with your coarse grinder plate. Toss together in
a bowl to mix the meats. Pour the seasonings mixture into the bowl with the
meat and blend well. Stuff into 35mm pig casings making 24 inch lengths
into rings by tying the ends of the lengths together. Place the sausage
rings on a smoke stick and bring to a cool place, under 70 degrees, to air
dry hanging in front of a fan overnight. Cold smoke the next morning for 12
hours. wrap in plastic wrap then foil and refrigerate overnight. Place in
skillet and add water to cover half the height of the sausage. Boil away
the water. Reduce heat and continue to cook till browned on both sides.
Enjoy! "Schmekouya Ho Boy!!!"
