Sausage My Grandpas Homemade Recipes

My Grandpa used to make lots of goodies every year around Christmas. His sausage was probably one of my favorites. We would snack on it all day long with crackers and cheeses. Please keep in mind it's written on an old post card and it's not very descriptive, (he passed away in 2000 and I was never able to ask him about his recipes) so I did my best. If you ever try to make this and find a better way, please offer me suggestions. I have not made this yet, almost in fear of it not tasting as good as it did when I was little. I am thinking about making it this Christmas. If I do and I find the need to edit some things I'll do so as soon as possible.

This recipe was given to us by my husband's Dad. It is very good and you can adjust the spices as you wish. We always enjoy the sausage with pancake breakfast or we also use it when we make our stuffing at Thanksgiving which has sausage in it.

This is the recipe we got from my uncle when we wanted to make our own sausage. We discovered that making sausage was a bit more work than we were interested in -- especially since we had to rent shop space and use equipment we weren't really familiar with -- so we decided to leave it up to our butcher. Since he's also started using this recipe, we still get the same great sausage -- at a slightly higher price, yes, but with a lot less work! (I haven't included the time it takes to stuff casings because that will be different for everyone.) **Edited Sep07/06: I forgot to indicate in the intial post that this sausage gets smoked for 3-4 hours after it's in the casings. Without the smoking, it won't be farmer sausage, so it's a pretty key step!!!
