Traditional Cumberland Sausage Ring

This page on the traditional Cumberland sausage ring isn't really a recipe it's simply a style of presentation that for the common or garden sausage. Sausages are an absolute BBQ staple that trying a different way to cook and present a sausage is the order of the day.

The Cumberland sausage is classically British made with roughly chopped meat and lots of pepper. It is traditionally coiled (not linked), sold by length and because it's not linked you can cook it as a ring.

The best way to present it and cook it is as a ring and to do that you need a couple of pre-soaked bamboo skewers. Coil the sausage up and then truss it as you can see below.

Trussing the sausage makes it easy to flip but be careful not to have your coals too hot because you can only cook the sausage on two sides out of four (if you know what I mean) and to be fair, sausage is best cooked slowly anyway.

I gave mine 20 minutes gently on each side.
