The frankfurter is a cured, smoked and cooked sausage. It is ready to eat sausage or it may be boiled, fried or grilled for serving. The frankfurter originated some 350 years ago in Frankfurt, Germany and German immigrants brought this technology to the USA. The terms frankfurter, wiener or hot dog are practically interchangeable today. When the term "beef frankfurter" is used, the sausage is made of pure beef only. |

Curing. Cut meats into 1" (25 mm) pieces, mix with cure #1 and salt, pack tightly in a suitable container, cover with parchment or clean cloth and leave in a refrigerator for 48 hours. Cure different kinds of meat in separate containers. If meats are ground, this time may be shortened to 24 hours as smaller particles cure faster. 1. Grind meats 3/16" plate (5 mm). Keep lean meats separately from fat trimmings. Refreeze and grind again. Refreeze again and grind through 1/8" (3 mm) plate. 2. Mix lean beef with all ingredients adding 250 ml (1 cup) of cold water. Add lean pork and 1 cup of cold water and mix well. Add fat trimmings and the last cup of water and mix everything well together. 3. Stuff firmly into 24-26 mm sheep casings.
