Bologna Sausages Recipe
Have the fillets of young, tender porkers, and out of the weight of
twenty-five pounds three parts are to be lean and one fat; season them
well in the small shredding with salt and pepper, a little grated
nutmeg, and a pint of white wine, mixed with a pint of hog's blood;
stirring and beating it well together, with a little of the sweet-herbs
finely chopped; with a funnel open the mouths of the guts, and thrust
the meat gently into it with a clean napkin, as by forcing it with your
hands you may break the gut. Divide them into what lengths you please;
tie them with fine thread, and let them dry in the air for two or three
days, if the weather be clear and a brisk wind, hanging them in rows at
a little distance from each other in the smoke-loft. When well dried,
rub off the dust they contract with a clean cloth; pour over them sweet
olive-oil, and cover them with a dry earthen vessel.
