Aunt Mims Pickled Polish Sausage Recipes

AUNT MIM'S PICKLED POLISH SAUSAGE

Steps:

• 1. Cut the kielbasa into chuncks (appetizer sized) and add to a clean mason jar (use a big one)
• 2. Add in whole garlic cloves. (we love garlic so we use a lot of them and they can be eaten as well later) Use how ever many you would like to suit your taste.
• 3. Add in 4 or 5 bay leaves and a few pinches of crushed red pepper flakes (again, to suit your taste)
• 4. Fill the mason jar abour 3/4 full with the vinegar. Then fill the remaining 1/4 of the jar with water.
• 5. Put the lid on and shake to blend. Keep refrigerated (they don't seem to last too long in our fridge but they are good for a couple weeks at least)

PICKLED SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the water, salt, vinegar, and red food coloring. Bring to a boil. Cut the sausage links into halves or thirds, depending on size, and place into a large sterile jar. Pour the hot vinegar mixture in with the sausage, secure the lid, and let stand for 2 days before serving.

DUGAN! GET YOUR GRIMY HANDS OFF THOSE PICKLED SAUSAGES!

Steps:

• Cut up precooked sausage (do not reheat them)into 3 inch links and put into jars with a few slices of onion.
• Bring to a boil the rest of the ingredients and simmer five minutes.
• Pour hot mixture into jars (prefer mason or canning jars other types may explode)over onions and sausages.
• Put lid on jars and carefully hide in the refrigerator at least a day- two days is better- or until they are discovered by a man.
• NOTE: These are a wonderful bribe to get Dugan to do something unpleasant around the house or to make up with him when I have been terribly naughty.

ROBBY'S PICKLED BAR SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Make brine by combining first four ingredients and bringing to a boil in a saucepan.
• Cut sausage into equal sized links, approximately 3" each.
• Place sausage and bay leaves into a sterilized gallon size glass jar.
• Pour brine over sausage and seal jug.
• Store in refrigerator for 2-3 days. The longer it sits, the better it gets.
• Note: Your ability to fit all of the sausage into the jar will depend on what brand you buy.
