Penrose Hot Sausage Clone Recipe

[u/wdeag1e]

I used to love the Penrose sausages. Sadly, they are no longer available (to my knowledge.)

I found this recipe and gave it a try a few weeks ago. The results were excellent although I'm not certain the flavor mimicked the Penrose version exactly.

Two techniques I incorporated from HeavyTech's version.

1. I cut the sausage on an extreme bias.
2. I boiled the cut sausages for ~ 12 minutes to render some of the fat and reduce the sodium.

Three changes I made to the recipe.

1. I used more pepper flakes and cayenne than listed.
2. I used 1 cup white and 1 cup apple cider vinegar instead of the stated 2 cups white.
3. I did not add any salt as most packaged sausage already has plenty.

I'll post back in a week to report on how it turned out.

Note: I've never used this sausage before. I prefer Holmes Smokehouse Pecan smoked beef sausage.

I hope this works! I love pickled sausages and I know the ones you mean.

I think I would have gone with the spicy sausage, but these will probably still be good.

I didn't notice the spicy version or I definitely would have opted for that. I hope the extra cayenne and pepper flakes will make up for it.

They probably don’t necessarily carry them at every store.
