I have a recipe for chorizo which we have been making for several years. 

Chorizo

This makes only 3/4 pound but can easily be increased.

1/2 pound ground pork

1/4 pound ground beef

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon pepper

pinch of ground cloves

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

3 tablespoons tequila (with some for the cook!)

Mix seasonings, vinegar and tequila.

Add to the ground meats and mix well.

Cover and refrigerate 24 hours to blend flavors.

This can be kept refrigerated up to 4 days or frozen.

We grind our own pork and beef in order to control the fat content.

OMGosh… I LOVE chorizo…..

definately keeping this one so I can make it when I need/want it…

Thanks! – maybe will try making this tomorrow

I think you will find this chorizo superior to most of what is available in the markets Lavenderblue.  We like to make stuffed jalapeno peppers with it.  Cut the stem end off the pepper, scoop out the seeds and membranes (wear gloves!!) and stuff with the meat.  Wrap with bacon and grill over indirect heat 15 minutes then over direct heat to crisp the bacon.  Yum.

Pete or Cindy will you please move this to the proper place?  I'm still learning the ins and outs of the forum. Thanks bunches.
