Hi Ellen - when I first made homemade sausage, I
used an old Julia Child recipe in "From Julia Child's
Recipe." It wasn't specific, but I managed to make
some very tasty sausage with it.

Her basic recipe called for 1-1/2 lbs. lean pork and 3/4
lb. fat, with 3/4 TBL salt, 1/4 tsp. freshly ground
pepper, and 3/4 tsp mixed ground dry herbs and
spices (such as allspice, bay leaf, paprika, sage, and
thyme).

The flavor can be easily changed to an Italian flavor by
using garlic, red pepper, and fennel seeds with the bay
leaf, black pepper and sage.

There are so many variations for sausage these days.
You will probably be able to find more specific and
different suggestions by doing a search!

Hope this helps!

for PORK SAUSAGE, SAGE SEEMS TO BE THE
MAJOR SPICE. ALOT OF IT IS A PERSONS OWN
TASTE. AM SENDING A RECIPE I LIKE VERY
MUCH. YOU CAN START SPARING AND ADD UNTIL
YOU HAVE THE FLAVOR YOU WANT.

5# GR. TURKEY OR CHICKEN
6-7# BACON, FROZEN THEN GROUND( I
GENERALLY USE THE PKGS OF "ENDS & PCS")
(FOLLOWING TO TASTE)
SMOKE FLAVOR (IS VERY STRONG!)
CEYENNE (OPTIONAL)
BLACK PEPPER
GARLIC PWDR OR MINCED
HAM SOUP BASE (SALTY)
SAGE

MIX TOGETHER IN A LG BOWL, CAN BE DIVIDED
AND FROZEN.
GOOD FOR ANY MEAL.
FOR AN EVENING MEAL, MAKE PATTIES, SERVE
WITH RICE AND CHOICE OF VEGETABLES.
BEST RICE IS JASMINE RICE FROM ASIAN MKT.
MAKE A CHIMI-CHURI TO PUT ON THE RICE. MADE
WITH,
CUBED TOMATOES
DICED ONION
DICED BELL PEPPER
SOY SAUCE TO COVER.(BEST IS "SILVER SWAN"
IN THE ASIAN SECTION OR MARKET)
STIR TOGETHER, REFRIG. UNTIL READY TO USE.
SPOON OVER AND EAT WITH THE RICE...
