TO YOUR GROUND PORK, ADD:
► 4.5 gms (0.159 oz) of salt/lb of meat
► 1.5 gms (0.529 oz) of black pepper/lb of meat (optional)
► 0.85 gms (0.03 oz) of hot chili flakes/lb (for medium-hot sausage) (optional)
► 2.5 gms (0.0882 oz) of paprika/lb of meat
► 0.5 to 1 gm (0.0176 oz to 0.0353 oz) of fennel seeds/lb of meat (optional)
► 25 gms (0.882 oz) of pepper paste/sauce per lb of meat (i.e. a 1-liter Jar does 35 - 40 lbs)
► 1 cup of dry red wine/10 lbs of meat (optional)
NOTES:
► 20 YDS of sausage casings, will be enough to do 25 - 30 lbs of ground meat
► The best cut of pork to use, are pork shoulder butts
► The second best cut of pork to use are whole pork shoulder (i.e. NY Shoulder)
► The third best cut of pork to use would be Picnic Pork Shoulder
► Remove any “blubbery” fat, keep “firm” fat (do not make your meat too lean - sausage needs fat)
► Use a meat grinder plate with ½ inch holes
► Mix all ingredients very well
► Fill casings so that they are firm to touch
Thank you!
