Prepare sausage casings by rinsing and soaking them in water.

Mix ground pork and beef in a large bowl until well combined.

Finely chop onion and garlic, then add to the meat mixture.

Cook barley in boiling water until tender, then drain and add to the meat mixture.

Season the mixture with salt, pepper, thyme, sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon, mixing thoroughly.

Stuff the sausage casings with the meat mixture, being careful not to overfill.

Twist sausages into links and tie off the ends securely.

Boil sausages in a pot of water for about 30-40 minutes until cooked through.

Remove sausages from water and allow to cool slightly.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Transfer sausages to a baking dish and roast for 20-30 minutes until browned.

Let sausages rest before slicing and serving.
