[USA] Maple Breakfast Sausage

Post by sawhorseray » Fri Dec 20, 2013 22:41

This was inspired by last weeks Chicken-Apple sausage, something about chicken and eggs for breakfast just doesn't work for me. The base for this recipe was Col. Big Guy's maple sausage and then incorporating some apple stuff that I thought might work. Boy howdy did it ever work, this is some of the best stuff I've ever made, we love it!

Maple Breakfast Sausage


10 lbs. Pork butts
9 oz. dried apples
3 cups apple cider (reduced to 1/2 cup)


2&2/3 Tbs. Salt
1 Tbs. White Pepper
2 Tsp. Ground Sage
1 Tsp. Ginger
1 Tbs. Nutmeg
3/4 Tsp. Marjoram
6 oz. ice water
1/2 oz. Mapeline
1/2 cup milk powder
4 Tbs. maple sugar

Run porkbutt and dried apple thru medium grinder plate. Mix dry ingredients with reduced apple cider, Mapeline, and ice water to make 10oz, mix everything together until sticky. Form into patties, shrink-wrap, and freeze.

Everything assembled, grinder parts fresh from the freezer

Ground, mixed, and ready for fridge nap during tidy

No sheep casings, thought hog casing the sausage might not cook thru evenly, 6oz patties
Image
Patties in the freezer to firm up before shrink-wrapping, Time for brekky!
Image
Great breakfast, the clean-up crew was quite appreciative
Image
Time to close the dampers and raise the temp on the picnic hams, long time to go
Image
Get things wrapped up and time to relax

This recipe is a definite keeper, the maple and apple work great together. I'm going to gift some to a couple of friends who have small children, those kids will be doing backflips over this stuff. RAY

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill! :D
