simmering and add the remaining ingredients. Turn off the heat and allow
the mixture to cool.

Cure the sausage in the refrigerator for twenty-four hours. Stuff the meat
into the casings and tie off into six-inch or eight-inch links.

Increase the smoke temperature to about 120 F and continue to smoke for
