Overview

Learn how to use quality ingredients to make great tasting sausages without wasting your time and money.

Class Format and Content

Classes meet in two sessions, allowing more time to cover critical aspects of food handling, food safety, and sausage making. This year we are offering two options: One class will be held on two consecutive weekdays (Tuesday and Wednesday) and the other on two consecutive Tuesdays. When making your reservation, please note which class you'd prefer.

We teach you safe and efficient processing techniques along with tricks of the trade in these two-evening classes. Each class will be held from 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM. Pre-registration is required, and class sizes are limited to 20 students.

Topics Include:

  • Fresh sausage, smoked sausage, bologna, and meat snacks
  • Types of meats, grinding techniques, appropriate ingredients, casing types, smoking and cooking times, and safe cooling procedures
  • Packaging and shelf-life
  • Stuffing and twist-linking fresh or smoked sausage
  • How to build your own smokehouse

Students will receive a course outline, a Con Yeager formulations book, and a Seasoning Sample Pack, containing: Country Sausage, Hot Italian Sausage, Italian Sweet Sausage, Hillbilly Jerky kit, and a Bologna kit. The student will also take home a sample sausage made during the class.
