Saucisse d'Ajoie

Saucisse d'Ajoie is a traditional sausage originating from Porrentruy. The sausage is made with a combination of two thirds of pork, one third of bacon, and (optionally) a maximum 10% of minced beef. The combination is seasoned with cumin grains, pepper, and garlic, then stuffed into a pig intestine which is knotted, not tied up with strings or metal clips.

Later on, saucisse d'Ajoie is smoked over conifer wood. Nowadays, there are many old smokehouses that date back to the 17th century and can be visited at a few farms. Before serving, the sausages are either boiled or grilled. All that's needed is some bread and a glass of wine, and they're ready to be enjoyed.
