Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork and pork fat. Ensure that the pork fat is finely minced or ground to evenly distribute the fat throughout the sausage.

Mixing

  1. 2

    Add Spices

    In a separate bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and sage. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the pork and fat mixture.

  2. 3

    Incorporate Ice Water

    Pour the ice water into the meat mixture. Using your hands or a spatula, thoroughly mix the ingredients until well combined and slightly sticky, which helps bind the sausage.

Stuffing

  1. 4

    Prepare Sausage Casings

    If using casings, rinse them thoroughly under cold water. Soak them in water for about 30 minutes prior to use to make them pliable.

  2. 5

    Stuff Sausage

    Using a sausage stuffer, fill the casings with the sausage mixture, being careful not to overstuff. Twist sausages into links of your desired size.

Cooking

  1. 6

    Cook the Sausage

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until nicely browned and cooked through. Alternatively, sausages can be grilled or baked.
