Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground pepper
4 ½ teaspoons fine salt
½ teaspoon curing salt (Prague powder #1)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 pounds ground pork
1 pound coarse ground pork back fat
¼ cup distilled white vinegar
Hog casing, rinsed well

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together sugar, oregano, ginger, pepper, salt, and curing salt until evenly combined; set aside. Mix together garlic, ground pork, and ground pork fat in a large bowl until combined. Sprinkle with spice mixture, pour in white vinegar, and mix thoroughly.
  • Rinse the sausage casings very well until all of the salt or brine is gone; tie a knot at one end of the casing, then thread the other end onto a sausage stuffing tube. Stuff the casing with the sausage mixture, twisting the filled casing every 2 1/2 to 4 inches to form links. Once all of the sausage mixture has been used, tie the end of the last link.
  • Using fine cotton kitchen twine, tie the ends of each sausage link tightly, then cut between each link to separate. Place into a glass or plastic container, cover, and allow to mature in the refrigerator for 4 days, after which point they may be frozen.
  • To cook the longanisa, fill a skillet with 1/2 to 3/4 inches of water and add thawed sausages. Simmer over medium-high heat until the water evaporates, about 20 minutes. Uncover, and allow the sausages to fry in their own oil until golden brown, about 8 minutes more.
