Did make the sausages. They are pepperoni and cheese snack sticks smoked in pecan.
Chippie, I did neither. Canning, especially pressure canning would heat the sausages too much and render the fat making it a greasy paste in the casing. Instead, I used a combination of barriers including chemical to pickle them.
Had to test one this morning and they are pretty nice so I doubt they will stay in the cooler long.
