Making Homemade Sausage

By

Here is a good basic recipe that I have used

Country Sausage
Ingredients:
2 pounds pork steaks, cut into 1" squares
1 pound pork fat, cut into 1" squares
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
2 tablespoons dried sage, crumbled or 2 tsp. rubbed sage
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
Use medium blade on meat grinder or steel blade with food processor
and grind pork coarsely. Add rest of ingredients and grind or blend again.
Do not process too fine. Shape into patties and sauté over low heat
until browned on both sides and cooked through.
If you don't have a grinder, you can just buy ground pork at the grocery store, and if you like you can use any pork cuts....or even a pork shoulder or butt roast.
Grind it up and proceed with the recipe. This freezes well either in a roll or in patties.
