This step I will not be showing here right now. If you started with a whole shoulder, you will have to debone the shoulder. My inlet hole is around 1″ in diameter so I cut my chunks of pork to this size or smaller. If you do have a meat grinder, cut your chunks of pork into cubes that will easily fit in the inlet hole. PREPARE YOUR MEAT Pork chunks cut into 1″ or less cubes. This will give you good consistency and good flavor. When making sausage, look for ratio of around 80% meat to 20% fat. Grinding it is the second option to preparing this shoulder cut. Low heat and long cooking time is needed to make this cut tender. This portion of the pig has a lot of connective tissue. The upper shoulder is called the butt and it is where pulled pork among other cuts come from.
If you are starting from a primordial cut of meat, a traditional cut would be the upper shoulder. So, we will be using a meat grinder today. I was taught by an expert meat man that grinding your seasonings with your pork is the way to go. Mix it up at the same ratio and either cook it up right away or wrap it up and freeze it for later use. If you don’t have a meat grinder don’t worry you can still make sausage! Just purchase already ground pork and add seasoning to it. I will never again question Italian sausage and it is now in my top 3 list. Well, the first bite and every bite after was an explosion of flavor!
I said “Sure we can” and proceeded to fry some up. When I was finished making the sausage, my wife was hungry and said can we cook some of that up? But somebody that I knew wanted some so I had no choice but to come through for them. I was not sure what I would think about the Italian sausage before I made it.
