So I could make homemade sausage with a large package of pork ribs I had in the freezer.
Just look at this price...$5.04 for just over 5-pounds; what a deal!
My spices consisted of salt, sage and black pepper; all mixed together and set to the side.
Next I rinsed the ribs and placed them in a pan to drain while I began cutting off the bones.
Once the bones are cut off I rinsed the meat a second time; I do not like having small slivers of bone in my sausage. Next I layered the meat slices in a pan and sprinkle the seasoning on each piece.
I like to add the seasoning before grinding so the flavor is well mixed.
As I began cooking a few patties I realized my sausage didn't have enough fat mixed in the meat; so I ended up lean sausage.
However, the sausage tasted great and not dry like I had expected. In fact, the sausage had a very nice "meaty" taste to it.
Plain Pork Sausage10 pounds fresh pork
5 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons sage
2 tablespoons black pepper
I cut this recipe in half and it made a very nice amount of sausage.
Thanks for the recipe. We have some wild hog that a friend is giving to us soon and I thought I might try some pan sausage with it. My hubby has made venison sausage and he had to add fat to it, but since these hogs have been fed some corn I hoping the meat will have a little fat on it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe. Our locally owned grocery store makes their own breakfast sausage, but the flavor isn't consistent from one purchase to the next. Sooo, I just might have to try this. :)
ReplyDeleteyeah!! You finally got around to making some.. now I feel lazy since I've had two pork butts in the freezer for 3 months waiting for me to grind them up :)
