Tennessee Pride Sausage

• 5 tablespoons salt
• 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons rubbed sage
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme

1. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Store in an air tight container.
2. Add 2 tsp of Spice Mix to 1 pound of fresh ground pork. (This whole spice mix is enough for 10 lbs of fresh ground pork).
3. NOTE: We wait until early fall when pork shoulders tend to go on sell for the best price and grind our own, then package up and freeze 1 pound packages for future use of a variety of different sausage recipes. I know our local grocery stores carry fresh ground pork just like hamburger. Ask your butcher if you don't see it :).
4. Add a couple tablespoons of oil to pan if your sausage is really lean.
5. Pat sausage out into 4-6 patties depending on desired size preference.
6. Fry on medium heat for about 4 minutes, flip and fry other side for another 3 minutes. Make sure sausage is fully cooked. Time may very depending on how thick you make your patties.
