4 cups water
2 tablespoons salt
4 cups distilled white vinegar
10 drops red food coloring (optional)
10 links smoked beef sausage
In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the water, salt, vinegar, and red food coloring. Bring to a boil. Cut the sausage links into halves or thirds, depending on size, and place into a large sterile jar. Pour the hot vinegar mixture in with the sausage, secure the lid, and let stand for 2 days before serving.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
In a cooking rut? Try one of these taste-tested, family-approved recipes using ground beef.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

Taste great it was the recipe that I was looking for. Thanks
If you use the "Earl Campbell" hot links, they are already red and quite spicy. Next use 5% vinegar straight, bring to boil add 2-3' pieces od sausage and turn off heat. Let sit until cool and refrigerate for a couple days. These are spicy sour,red and fantastic!

If you cut the water in half and add your own spice i.e. jalapenos, hot sauce or I use dried serrano chiles and rehydrate when I boil the brine you get a hotter sausage
Since there are many different sized "links" on the market, it would be helpful to know what size you are talking about. Either that or how much total weight is involved.
