Basic, Home Made, Irish Sausages

A classic, traditional, Irish recipe, for a sausage mix. Made from pork meat, pork fat, spices, breadcrumbs, and sage.

Ingredients:

1-1/2 lbs. lean pork

½ lb. pork fat, without gristle

1/2 tsp. ground allspice

1 tsp. salt freshly-ground black pepper

Ground ginger, mace, nutmeg, cloves and/or cayenne pepper, to taste Pinch of dried sage (or marjoram)

¼ cup white breadcrumbs (optional)

Preparation:

Combine the meat, and fat; then pass through a grinder- twice. Turn into a bowl and mix thoroughly; with the seasoning.  (The easiest way to do this is to fry and taste about 1 tsp. of the mix, each time you adjust the seasoning; until you get it the way you like it.) Add the herbs and breadcrumbs then use to fill sausage skins, as usual.
