Notes
- You can use any fresh sausage you like. Italian sweet sausage, mild or hot, can be found at any grocery store works very well. If you are up for it, you can make your own sausage. For this recipe ideally you want to you pork, or pork/beef combination with fat content of no less than 25%. For lean meats add fat trimmings to bring the fat content up. I like to use pork butt which comes with about 25-30% fat content. It's perfect for smoked sausage.
- Here is my basic recipe for fresh sausage:
- 2 lbs pork butt
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 tsp (heaping) marjoram
- 3 garlic cloves, pressed
- 1/2 cup ice water
