Making Breakfast Sausage
« Reply #-1 on: August 31, 2013, 10:10:56 PM »
First baby step into sausage.....no casings yet!

Used 4 pounds of pork trimmings from other cooks. I love that I now keep these and vac seal them for later use.

Recipe:

Ingredients:
3 pound ground pork
3/4 pound of Salt Pork
1/4 cup real Maple Syrup
3 tsp kosher salt (1/2 to 3/4 tsp of table salt), or to taste
2 tsp dried Italian herbs blend (mine has thyme, rosemary, sage, and oregano)
4 tsp Fennel seeds, lightly crushed
1 tsp Granulated Garlic
1 tsp Granulated Onion
2 tsp of Brown Sugar
3 tsp freshly grated orange zest
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
pinch of fresh nutmeg


Sitting in the fridge overnight getting happy for tomorrow.






More to come......

I'll bring a couple dozen eggs, some bagels with cream cheese, and I'll make some nice hash brown potatoes with onions and jalapeno peppers mixed in for a little taste. I'll even bring some green chili sauce to put on the eggs.

What time should I be there?

Pappy,

I've ground my own beef before but I never got into sausage making and that looks killer.  Does the grade of maple syrup matter in your opinion?

Looks good Pappy. I usually don't stuff mine, just leave it as bulk.
Now you need the LEM stuffer to match the grinder and slicer.  ;D

For cooking I use Grade B syrup (it has a deeper flavor I think)... For serving Grade A

Cooked up a little sample to check the taste. Great texture and taste. Maple syrup didn't come through. Gonna add some more.  Great tip on using B grade. will have to look for that.

Will package in one pound vac bags.
