Homemade Frankfurters

Total Time: 2 hrs 45 mins Preparation Time: 45 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 24
• 3 lbs fine ground chuck
• 2 lbs fine ground lamb butt
• 2 teaspoons pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground mace
• 4 garlic cloves, pressed
• 1 1/2 tablespoons salt
• 1 1/2 cups water

Recipe

• 1 combine all ingredients, mix well and stuff into sheep casings (lamb casings will work too, but will end up a little fatter frank).
• 2 smoke for 2-3 hours at 115 deg or until a rich orange color is reached (you can freeze them at this point, until you want to boil them).
• 3 then cook in water heated to 160-170 until franks float.
• 4 cooking time depends on thickness of the hot dog.
• 5 you can simply just grill them as well.
• 6 again, the yield depends on how long and thick your links are.
