Schinkenwurst (Ham Sausage)

Schinkenwurst (Schinken = ham) is a German medium diameter ground sausage with inserts of solid chunks of meat. The meat must be cured so it has a solid red color and will contrast with white fat and other finely minced meat. The same manufacturing process is used for making other high quality sausages like German Krakauer or Polish Krakowska or Szynkowa Sausage (Szynka = ham).
