For a more intense flavor, try adding a splash of red wine to the mixture. If you prefer a spicier sausage, increase the amount of cayenne pepper to 1/2 teaspoon. Use high-quality pork for the best flavor and texture. When grilling, be sure to cook the sausages thoroughly to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

01 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Prepare the Spice Blend (5 minutes): Using a spice grinder or food processor, pulverize the salt, black pepper, and sugar until finely ground. This ensures even distribution of flavor throughout the sausage.
02 Step
Recipe View 15 mins Combine and Mix (15 minutes): In a large bowl, combine the coarse ground pork shoulder, back fat, garlic powder, mace, coriander, cayenne pepper, and ice water. The ice water is crucial for keeping the mixture cold, which helps bind the ingredients and prevents the fat from rendering during mixing.
03 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Incorporate the Spices (5 minutes): Add the prepared spice blend to the pork mixture. Using latex gloves (or similar food-safe gloves) to avoid contamination and maintain a cold temperature, thoroughly mix all ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a tough sausage.
04 Step
Recipe View 40 mins Stuff the Sausages (30-45 minutes): Carefully stuff the sausage mixture into the casings using a sausage stuffer. Twist off the filled casings every 3 inches to create individual sausages. If you don't have a stuffer, you can form the mixture into patties or roll them into logs.
05 Step
Recipe View 15 mins Refrigerate or Freeze (15 minutes): Refrigerate the sausages for at least 2 hours (or preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld. Use within one week. For longer storage, freeze for up to 6 weeks. Be sure to wrap them tightly to prevent freezer burn.
