Remember killing the hogs, rolling them in a hot ash bath and scraping the hairs with the metal cup thingie. Then, butchering.

The sausage, we'd grind and fry out the patties and put them in a crock-jar with fat all around and over the top. The sausage was sealed so well, it would keep forever. So, so, so good.

Blessings,

Oh man, and our priest, Father Arthur would always be there and he'd always eat the pig ears out of the wash pot BEFORE they could be put into breakfast sausage BUT no one would stop him!!!

Serious memories, thanks.
