Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Casings

    Rinse the natural sausage casings under cold water. Soak them in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes prior to using.

  2. 2

    Mix the Meats

    In a large bowl, combine the ground pork and pork fatback. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Seasoning

  1. 3

    Add Spices

    Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, sage, and thyme over the meat mixture. Use your hands to mix the spices into the meat until evenly distributed.

  2. 4

    Incorporate Ice Water

    Gradually add the ice water to the meat mixture, mixing it in until the mixture is sticky and well combined.

Stuffing

  1. 5

    Stuff the Sausages

    Using a sausage stuffer, fill the prepared casings with the meat mixture, being careful not to overstuff. Tie off the ends of the sausages with kitchen twine.

  2. 6

    Prick Air Bubbles

    Use a pin to prick any air bubbles that may have formed in the sausages.

Cooking

  1. 7

    Cook the Sausages

    You can grill, fry, or bake the sausages. For frying, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sausages for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Once cooked, serve the sausages hot with your favorite sides or condiments.
