Jimmy's Farm - Beef, Pork & Plum

Just off of the A14 junction 56, then only a few hundred metres on towards Wherstead / Manningtree, you see the signs for Jimmy's Farm.  Good place to have some lunch and perhaps buy some sausages then?

We bought quite an amount of sausages in two big taster packs.  The taster pack labelling unfortunately was a bit sparse and didn't have much detail on individual makings which was a shame, however please be assured the quality of the sausages was not in question.

Beef, pork and plum sounded pretty interesting.  Beef sausages can sometimes cook up a bit dry and solid, and pork sausages can cook up a bit rubbery if minced too fine, but mix beef and pork together and you can get a really interesting texture.  We've tried this combination before from another supplier/producer which went down really well.  However we're not sure as to what the percentage of beef or pork that was used in this particular mix and we will ask the question when next over to the farm.  The raw sausage doesn't appear too dark so we would say that these sausages may be rather more pork than beef.

Cooked up these sausages did firm well and retained a good amount of succulence.  Good skins noted, with no splits or bursts. We were expecting the typical "burger in a sausage skin" flavour, but this wasn't the case which would point towards what we believe them to be more pork than beef...

Taste-wise not bad at all but we all agreed they could do with a little more seasoning.  The plum flavour was also very minimal, yes it was there but a little more could make a real winner out of these.

Eaten later when cold, the sausages had firmed further and to be honest made for a good bite and chew. 

As with many the other Jimmy's Farm sausages, these are a very good, well made sausage, we all agreed. 

Would we buy again?  Well with a bit more seasoning, yes we would...
