Not just sausages, but pork shoulder/butt is great for making pulled pork. I buy it this time of year put a southwest rub on it, vac pack it, leave it in the fridge or cold cellar for several days, then into the freezer it goes.
Also, smoked hocks are great for pea soup or homemade beans. I have a killer bean recipe.
The loins make great pork chops either smoked or plain.
Pork bellies = bacon

odd they usually have legs & shoulders at 99. Guess people have found out shoulders produce a better product. Going to have to check it out. Hopefully its not the bagged stuff full of water.
x2 The cryovaced or bagged stuff is awful no matter what it is.Quote:

I wish there was one close to me .I have a great sugar cure homemade bacon recipe. And the shoulders make great smoked pulled pork. Dutch

That looks good to me.
