Breakfast or Country Sausage
10 pounds pork shoulder
4 Tbl. salt
1 1/2 Tbl. white pepper
2 1/2 Tbl. sage
1 Tbl. nutmeg
1 Tbl. thyme
1 1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 Tb. cayenne pepper
2 Cups ice water
Trim the fat off the pork shoulder, if you like lean sausage, or leave it on if you like more flavor. Always make certain that your meat is free of bone and glands. To the ground meat, mix in the dry spices first. Then add the ice water.
Mix thoroughly. Bulk sausage is easily made into patties, or you can use 22-24 mm. lamb casings for the challenge of making link sausage.
