Ingredients
- 2 pounds of sausage preferably from pastured pork
- 1 Tablespoon ground sage
- 1 Tablespoon plus 1 t. salt
- 2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 Tablespoon turbinado sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground marjoram
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- Put all of the ingredients in a large bowl.
- Mix together thoroughly.
- You can then use the sausage any way you'd use ground sausage purchased from the store - cook it now or freeze it for later use. You can make sausage patties, ground sausage, or use it in your favorite recipes. (Make some sausage patties the easy way and keep them in the refrigerator for breakfasts).
Notes
*Turbinado sugar is an unrefined form of sugar. I can find this in our small town, so I imagine you should be able to find it or another type of unrefined sugar at your local grocery store as well. Look for one of the following unrefined types of sugar: turbinado, coconut sugar, muscavado, or sucanant. Xylitol may also work, but I have not tried it in this recipe.
