Mix all ingredients together and cure mixture for 5-6 days in the
refrigerator and stuff into casings. This kind of sausage should be
stored in a cooler, ready for use. To cook: Place a small amount of
water in a skillet. Place sausages and let boil in water for about 10
minutes. With a fork, pierce casings. The Longganisa will be ready when
juices flow out and turn a dark caramel color. The sausages should also
turn the same color and some oil should leak out. Suggestions: You can
eat the Longganisa and tapa with pieces of lightly salted tomatoes.
