Breakfast Sausage

We butchered a hog yesterday, ending up with 22# of meat/fat for sausage.  Here's my recipe for breakfast sausage...

22# ground pork and fat (about 70/30)
7 T Sea salt
1 cup rubbed sage
1 teaspoon each:
  • Paprika
  • Cayenne
  • Ground cloves
  • Ground Ginger
  • Savory
  • Mace
  • Nutmeg
  • Black Pepper
  • Ground Thyme
Cut meat and fat into cubes, chill for at least an hour.  Sprinkle seasoning over meat cubes then grind with a coarse plate.  Make a patty and fry it up to check seasonings.  Make any adjustments in seasonings and run through the grinder a second time.
