County of Hyde issued the following announcement on Sept. 26.
Join Hyde County’s FCS Agent to learn how to operate a meat grinder (including the proper way to clean and sanitize it afterward), prepare venison for sausage, and spice blend options! We will be making ground breakfast sausage from venison.
This is the loose-ground sausage that you can form into patties, add into soups and spaghetti, or use any other way you might cook ground sausage. We will review the proper sanitation methods and knife skills before getting started.
During class, we will make a batch of breakfast sausage with ingredients you can find in stores (not a pre-packaged mix) and using pork fat from our local meat processing facility. You will leave with recipes and pork fat to use in your own next batch!
If you have not already received a digital food thermometer, you will also receive one to help you cook food safely while at home. You do not need to live in Hyde County to participate, though the class will be held at the Hyde County Government Center. Registration is FREE thanks to a wonderful grant from ECU Health. >>Completion of the Wild Game Food Safety pre-recorded class is REQUIRED before participating in our hands-on classes.
Register Online << Class will be held on Tuesday, October 11, 2022, in the Teaching Kitchen within the government center building, 10 a.m.–1:00p.m. Class size is limited to 12 participants. Register: Breakfast Sausage Class, October 11 at 10 a.m.
