Simmer in water until plump (about 40 minutes), carefully pierce each sausage with a fork to release fat. Remove from water, pat or air dry for a few minutes. Brown in skillet (I like to use a little olive oil as the browning medium). This sausage goes great with sauerkraut. I am currently rounding up the spices to be divisible by ten and using about two pounds of pork at a time then cooking the sausage in a crumbled fashion (stir-fried). It makes a great stuffing base for tomatoes. If your are going to use casing, two pounds of sausage is hardly worth the effort. Origins of the Recipe: In the early 1970s I had the opportunity to attend a Polish wedding in Michigan. The food was prepared by the family (the Nawrocki family). Never having tried Kielbasa before, I was entranced by the taste and begged for the recipe. Since that time, a lot of eating habits have changed. The problem is that fat is what carries the seasoning and we try not to eat too much saturated fat. I usually try to buy pork tri-tip (cushion) for about $1.39 per pound and have the butcher trim the fat from the outside, then grind it. This gives you ground pork with about 15 percent fat content. Then I start with the basic seasoning recipe. Usually I have to nearly double the spice mix. The best way to test your seasonings is to make a small patty and either fry or microwave it. Adjust the seasoning to your taste rather than mine. The basic spice proportions will also mix well with ground chicken or turkey. They used to be inexpensive, but with anything that is claimed to be lean, are now higher priced than pork by Bill Larsen
