Home ground pork sausage

[PZ]

I love good sausage, and find the pre-made product at the grocery store not up to my standards these days.  Too many preservatives, stabilizers, and other chemicals I cannot even pronounce.  So I decided to make my own, and it is really good.  It is a Jimmy Dean copycat recipe.

I purchase whole pork loin at less than $2/pound and vacuum seal into approximate 1.5 pound packages. The ingredients are simple - grind the pork and add thyme, sage, red pepper flakes, and coriander.

I fried a test patty, and it was the best sausage I have eaten in a long while. The best part is that I know that there are no added chemicals or other ingredients that might kick start my allergic response.

Next experiment: home made linguica, one of my favorite ingredients[/spoiler]

It looks like Fragger inspired you taking pictures of the process

Nice pics! I'm not a sausage guy, but I admire that kitchen tablet
