Sweet Italian Sausage

This is the recipe I used for my first attempt at home-made sausage.

Ingredients

  • 5 pounds pork shoulder boneless
  • 5 teaspoons fennel seed cracked
  • 5 teaspoons black pepper
  • 5 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 cup ice water

Instructions

  • Grind pork. Place in freezer to keep cool while you clean up grinder.
  • Mix spices and water.
  • Remove pork from freezer (before it freezes). Mix spiced water in either by hand or with stand mixer – mix well.
  • Divide into usable portions (I like 1-pound bags) and chill immediately.
