HOMEMADE PORK SAUSAGE RECIPEThis homemade pork sausage recipe produces delicious sausage. The ingredients are readily available and is easy to prepare. The good part is you can make it as spicy or as mild as you wish. I can smell it frying now...
HOW TO MAKE PORK SAUSAGE 4 lb lean pork 2 lb pork fat (from the butcher) 3-1/2 tsp salt 6 tsp sage 3 tsp freshly ground black pepper 1-1/2 tsp white sugar 1/4 tsp ground cloves 2/3 cup cold water 1/4 cup hot sauce (or to taste) Thoroughly chill meat and fat. Using a 1/2 inch cutting blade, run the pork and pork fat separately through the meat grinder and chill again. Combine all seasonings. Mix the seasonings into the chilled meat and then put through the grinder with a 1/8 inch cutting plate. Mix meat and fat in a bowl and add just enough water to make a soft "dough." Stuff into casings and take care to avoid air bubbles.
