Fill the skins with a sugar-water solution, tie both ends up and drop the filled skin into a bowl of water.
The sausage skin will slowly inflate.
This is a practical demonstration of the effects of osmosis as the sugar molecules won't pass through the skins, but the water will.
Ollie please explain if the water is drawn out but not the sugar why don't the skins deflat. ?
It's really nice, works well with all types of sausages not just the italian ones he recommends. Great with a salad of winter type leaves. We've omitted the garlic cloves, and substituted the ciabatta with chunks of garlic bread too, and that works as long as you put it in about halfway through the cooking time.
Thanks for this sarzwix, my oh tried this last night. It was simple and delicious, really lovely. Thanks alot. Think it will become his saturday night supper of choice as he cooks that night!
