My father and I make sausage (sticks, brats, italian) during the late winter and early spring. My 4 and 5 year old daughters have been helping for the past two years. My V8 juice is really close to being a copy cat recipe. My father and my italian sausage recipe is awsome! I make a pastry from dark rye and fill it with sour kraut, swiss cheese, corned beef, and seasonings and top it with a horseradish dip which has become a big hit. Too many to list.
