Making Your Own Sausage

My husband has wanted to make his own sausage for as long as he can remember. A neighbor recently gave him a meat grinder and he was set.

He ground pork shoulder.

Added spices and other ingredients

and fried up the patties. It actually wasn't too difficult.

Here are the additives for 3 lbs pork:

3 Tbs red wine vinegar

1 Tbs salt

1 Tbs black pepper

1 1/4 Tbs dried parsely

1 Tbs garlic powder

1 Tbs onion powder

1 Tbs dried basil

2 tsp paprika

2 tsp red pepper flake

3/4 tsp ground fennel seeds

1/4 tsp brown sugar

1/8 tsp dried oregano

1/8 tsp dried thyme

The sausage was very spicy and I think he used 2 tablespoon red pepper flake instead of 2 teaspoon.
