ok you can cook these sausages with the cure, but you need to cook slowly. In your oven you can set lowest oven setting 175 degrees. Simply set sausage out to come to room temp then put in pre-heated oven with the door open for 40 minutes then close the door and cook until the internal temp of the sausage is 152 degrees. Remove from oven and cool with cold water. let sausages sit on a rack at room temp on the counter for 2 hours then refrigerate overnight. Slice thin on crackers mmmmmmmm (Dont cook past 152)One question for you on what you have cooked so far... Is the meat red or a grey color after you cook it?
