I'm in need of some good sausage recipes. My brother and I are trying to make sausage for the first time this year. How do we go about doing this? I've heard of letting it hang and cure to bakeing it in the oven to smokeing it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Get a good book and read it Great sausage recipes by Rytek Kutas is the bible! It will tell you how to do things, what equiptment you need,and has a lot of great recipes.
