Swedish Potato Sausage Making

Foods

Craig and Dianne Peterson

If you enjoy sausage, you have to try Swedish potato sausage, with a homemade taste you can't find in the store! Learn the entire process of sausage making including preparing, deboning, grinding, mixing, stuffing and tasting Swedish potato sausage. Also called "potatis korv," this sausage is traditionally served with lutefisk, lefse and creamed peas on Christmas Eve, but also makes a great breakfast or BBQ sausage any time of the year. This course is "hands-on"- learn tasting, mixing, stuffing, and packaging methods. Plan to take home of 7-8 lbs of sausage to share with family and friends. This is a great opportunity for families to create a new holiday tradition together. Children ages 10 and up with an adult are welcome to participate at an intergenerational tuition rate.

The October 2011 session of this course is part of the Family & Intergenerational Learning Weekend, which will feature a variety of courses and events designed for families to experience together.

Making it happen:

When should I enroll?
We can't hold classes without students! Decisions regarding course cancellations (as related to minimum enrollment) are made three weeks before the class starts--so if you've got a course in mind, plan ahead and sign up at least three weeks in advance! That way we'll know you're coming, courses are more likely to meet minimum enrollment numbers, and then they'll actually take place.
Also watch for the words "nearly full" next to course dates. When that notation appears it means there are only one or two spots left--so sign up soon!
Do you take last minute registrations?
Of course! Although it's important that courses meet minimum enrollment three weeks before their scheduled start dates, we know that life doesn't always allow for prior planning. As long as there are still spots left in a course we're happy to accept your registration last minute.
When will new course dates be posted?
New course dates are posted both in the spring and fall to coordinate with our course catalog release dates. All the new dates are opened for enrollment on the same day and at the same time, so that everyone gets a fair crack at a spot in the courses they're interested in. As that time rolls around we announce when the new dates will "go live" in our e-newsletter. (sign up here!)
