Korv Recipe

It is Christmas Time and for our family- That means it is time for a Smorgasbord! We invite all of my grandmothers family over and have a traditional Swedish Christmas! Sonja and My part of this huge feast is making the Korv, or Swedish Sausages. This year, Sonja was still in school so she sadly could not participate in the whole making ordeal, but I was able to and while doing so- I took pictures!

Here is the Recipe we follow:

1 lb Pork
1 lb Beef
4 Medium Potatoes
1 Medium Onion
1/4 tsp Ginger
1/2 tsp Allspice
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/4 tsp Cloves
1 tsp Sugar
1 tsp Salt

This is one (if not the only time) we use the KitchenAid. We use the the Food Grinder Accessory and the Sausage Stuffer.

First, mix the two different meats the potatoes, and the onion together by grinding them together in the large blade.

Next Stir in the remain ingredients and put through the large blade once again.

Then put them through the small blade for the final grinding.

Change the KitchenAid's Attachment to the Sausage Stuffer and slide your casing on. You will need about 6 feet of casing for all your sausages- however it will not fit on all at once. We found it easier to 3-4 sections. It is also important to cut string about 4 inches long to help your sausages hold there shape. We have been doing this for 4-5 years and we still need the string.

**You may find it helpful to have 2 people doing the next few steps- we use three people but you could probably manage with 2.**

Stuff the Sausages about 1 inch thick- or so and about 2-3 inches long.

At the end- send a piece of bread through the stuffer to get the remainder of the meat out.

To Cook- Simmer GENTLY for 45 minutes.

Enjoy!
