There is nothing quite like cutting a slice of sausage that you made yourself and putting it on a cracker along with your beer or wine. Oh, my God, does that put a smile on my face! There are hundreds of recipes out there to try. And there is a huge market for the suppliers of machines and stuffers to sell you. The easiest sausage is one that is made by hand in patties with no outer wrapping. The key to good sausage be it breakfast or otherwise is to add pork to your recipe that has a high fat content so that your sausage remains moist. If you haven’t made it before then follow recipes that others find satisfactory. All wild game including wild boar has so little fat that by itself will resemble neary 100% protein and will be a tough chew. It is the pork fat that carries flavor as well. Discard any fat from your wild game as it often carries a gamy taste. If there is lots of blood in the game meat then immerse/cover in ice and let it melt and carry blood away with it. Rough grind your wild meat then add the ground pork and then fine grind together so it is perfectly blended with pork fat.

The recipe below is so simple a child could do it!

If you want to have sausage to slice and freeze, you can roll a tube in wax paper and then slice and freeze it. If you want your slices for long term freezing, then put slices on a tray with wax paper, freeze then proceed to vacuum seal the slices and they won’t deform under the vacuum process. Or you can buy sausage tubing to stuff. There is a large market for gear, curing, smoking but by the time you are done you have spent lots of money so be advised to spend wisely. If you are big into game and have lots of meat then perhaps it is valuable to invest more.

I made the purchase of a larger LEM #8 meat grinder 1/3 hp from BassPro for Christmas $329. Thanks Santa! I also got some food grade silicone spray for the grinder part protection and easy clean-up.

and a few sausage making kits from my local BassPro Shop.

I own an older vacuum sealer and love it. Still works fine!
