Sausage Making

Sausage making can be a rewarding experience if you can only find the little techniques that enable you to make your own high caliber products. CTR is proud to be able to provide classes for those sausage artists that want to hone their processing skills. The informative session is taught by an engaging local Master Chef and Butcher. The CTR instructor brings experience and knowledge from traditional “Old World” methods of Germany to our young region. We’ll try, with his guidance and the students’ participation, to capture all aspects of sausage making. The new sausage makers learn to choose the best cuts of meat, to grind, mix and stuff and all the secrets of the pros. Many topics will be covered, including the use of appropriate techniques, combining the perfect ingredients, and the importance of maintaining a high level of cleanliness. It is a great way to exchange experiences with fellow sausage enthusiasts. And of course, the “best part” is enjoying the creations you have whole-heartily made!
