Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground pork (not lean, about 20% fat)
- 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 teaspoons sage minced, fresh
- 1 teaspoon thyme leaves minced, fresh
- 1/2 teaspoon rosemary minced fresh
- 2 Tablespoons bacon grease ghee, or fat of choice
Instructions
- Place the pork in a large bowl and pour the maple syrup on top. Sprinkle the the remaining ingredients on top, except the fat.
- Use your hands to gently mix everything together; be careful not to overwork the meat or it will be tough.
- For the pork into sixteen 2-inch patties, about 3/4-inch thick.
- Melt a tablespoon of the fat in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. In two batches, cook the sausage patties for about 4 minutes on each side. They will get dark brown and feel firm when cooked through. Serve hot with additional maple syrup.
