You could cheat like I do when I make pickled Okra.

Buy a jar of Claussen's pickles.

Eat the pickles, keep the brine/juice.

Take the smallest fresh okra out of the packages, rinse them off and
place them into the reserved brine. Refrigerate for 2 weeks.

Should work with sausage and if you want it hotter, add a few slices of
Japapeno.

Cheers!
