Sausage acquisition

[skyarrow]

Haha nice pic   .  So what seasoning do you use for your pan,breakfast,And link sausage I now have some meat from 3 hogs and a deer and I like to see what others use I'm still new to making sausage

I took the easy way out and used LEM seasoning packets.  My wife really likes it when I mix their mild and spicy seasoning packets.  The hard part is getting the spices mixed in well.    I let the spices sit overnight and then fried up some sausage this morning....too mild.  That means I didn't get the spices mixed well enough and other parts will be too spicy.  I need to buy one of those big stainless steel meat mixers.  This is the first hog I've ground up that had enough fat to make sausage that, when fried, actually left some grease in the pan.  She was a fatty.

Good luck, I hope that works out well for you.  I've gotten so I really prefer the sweet italian sausage.  I'm to the point that I only make breakfast and sweet italian sausage.   I shoot just enough hogs to keep us in sausage.  If I get more proficient or take up trapping I'll have to start giving them away.  The local food pantry will take them if I butcher them.  I donated 2 deer this year but no hogs yet.

Sweet that's a great idea donating food to a pantry I mite do that once my freezer is full

I was a little surprised the pantry would take meat I butchered.  They're anxious to get it.  Most of the time they have to buy hot dogs just so people in need have some meat protein.  I also funnel meat to them from some other hunters I know.  One lady has dropped off 2 huge pigs which I butchered and delivered to them.  This spring I've volunteered to build a longbow for their annual auction to raise money.  I hope it brings a good price for them.  Good people down there and tough times.

Here in South Dakota we have a state chapter of Sportsmen Against Hunger where people can donate deer and other game to help feed the hungry.  It has been an incredible success. 

Donating a bow to help raise funding isn't bad either, George.  I wish I was floating in money so I could outbid everyone to get that bow!

That's a great idea!!  When you say "state chapter..."  is it a national organisation, or just in some states?

I've seen the same logo and name with different states attached, so I figure it's bigger than just our state.
