pearl river pastures / bratwurst ~1lb

The Pastured Pork Bratwurst from Pearl River Pastures—based in Poplarville, Mississippi—is made from heritage breed pigs raised naturally on pasture and woodland without antibiotics, hormones, or GMOs, yielding rich, well-marbled pork. Stuffed into natural hog casings for a crisp snap, the sausage is seasoned simply with salt, dextrose, spices, and onion. Each grill-ready package contains roughly four fresh, juicy brats averaging about one pound total for $13.00.

To prepare them, move the package to the refrigerator a day ahead or use a cold-water bath for same-day thawing. They can be grilled over medium heat to an internal temperature of 160°F, simmered in beer and onions before finishing on the grate, or pan-fried in a skillet with peppers and onions.
