gonna grind some deer this next week , any one got any good ring sausage recipes they dare give out? I've used a good one of mine for years , but willing to try a new one.
the breakfast sausage was ok, the mild italian was a better breakfast sausage and the spicey sausage was top notch, they are just fresh bulk sauasge though. let me knowif you want em anyway.
basic sausage
2 1/2 lbs -meat 1/2 venison/lean pork (cubed small enough to grind)
1 1/2 tsp - salt
1 tsp -fine white or black pepper
1/2 tsp -dried thyme
1 1/2 tsp -dried sage
1/4 tsp -dried savory
3/4 tsp -sugar
1/2 tsp -crushed red pepper
Grind the meat together and mix with your hands until the two meats are thouroughly mixed. Add the seasonings and mix by hand again then regrind w/ a fine grinder plate. You can stuff this into caseings or just make patties ,which is what we do. also a little(or a lot) of garlic helps out.
2 1/2 -lbs meat 1/2game 1/2 lean pork
1 1/2 -tsp salt (or to taste)
2 tsp - coarse black pepper.
2 tsp - fine ground coriander
2 cloves garlic -finely minced(I use 6-10cloves depending on size)
1 tsp - crushed red pepper for hot style.(I use about 2 1/2tsp)
1tsp - sugar for sweet style
Prepare same as above recipe. You can use sugar and red pepper in the same batch of sausage.
Mike I notice you use lean pork. When I used lean pork it seemed kind of on the dry side. Now I use pork trimmings and it comes out juicier. Guess it's just a matter of preference. I know my cholesterol is high and the leaner is more healthy, but what the hey , you only live once. If you intend to freeze your breakfast sausage for an extended period, I recomend you omit the sage as it doesn't freeze well. And you'll never miss it. But since you are making small batches you shouldn't have that problem.

yeah, the lean pork does make for dryer sausage, and I dont trim fat if the pork is fairly lean. I just use the leaner pork for health reasons. this last batch I made the whole pork loins were mismarked and it was the cheapest pork in the store ($1.19lb)so I ground pork loins for sausage the whole time I kept thinking how good those would be as pork chops.
