A.C. Legg Summer Sausage Seasoning with Cure Packet – 18 oz, Up to 25 lbs, For Pork, Beef & Wild Game

Overview

Discover a versatile sausage seasoning from A.C. Legg, designed for home meat processing and smoking sessions. The 18 oz bottle includes a cure packet and seasoning that conveniently covers up to 25 pounds of meat, making it easy to plan a batch for gatherings or weekend cookouts. Its balanced blend aims to deliver a savory profile with a traditional, tangy note when prepared with the recommended steps.

How it works

In practice, you start by grinding your meat through a 1/2" plate, then transfer to a mixer. Optional: add up to 12 oz of water and the seasoning in combination with the nitrite cure. Mix until the meat block is tacky, which typically takes about 6–8 minutes. Regrind through a 3/16" plate, then stuff into casings. Smoke in a smokehouse until the internal temperature reaches 155°F. For a tangier flavor and a reduced pH profile, you may incorporate a starter culture or encapsulated acid after the grinds but before stuffing. This approach can help you achieve a distinctive finish that complements pork, beef, or wild game blends.
