Sausage Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sausage Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, minced garlic, fennel seeds, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Casings

    Rinse the natural hog casings under cold water and soak them in water for about 30 minutes to make them pliable.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Sausage

    Using a sausage stuffer attachment on a meat grinder or a dedicated sausage stuffer, carefully fill the casings with the sausage mixture, making sure to avoid air pockets. Tie off the ends of the casings securely.

  4. 4

    Cook the Sausage

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausages for about 10-15 minutes, turning regularly, until they are browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the sausages from the heat, let them rest for a few minutes, and then serve warm. Enjoy your homemade local sausage!
