Ingredients
2 lb ground pork
1 tbsp kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp dried sage
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 cup cold water
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp brown sugar
Natural hog casings, soaked and rinsed
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, kosher salt, black pepper, dried sage, dried thyme, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly with your hands until the spices are evenly distributed.
2. Gradually add the cold water to the meat mixture, mixing until the water is fully incorporated and the mixture is sticky.
3. Rinse the natural hog casings thoroughly under cold water and soak them for at least 30 minutes.
4. Attach a sausage stuffer to your meat grinder, lubricate the nozzle with a bit of oil, and slide the casing onto the nozzle, leaving a small overhang.
5. Carefully fill the casing with the seasoned meat mixture, being careful not to overstuff. Twist the sausage at regular intervals to form links.
6. Prick any air bubbles with a needle to remove excess air.
7. Refrigerate the sausages for at least 1 hour before cooking or store them as per the instructions.
Storage
Store the sausages in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months.
