homemade sweet italian sausage ingredients
Here's a great basic sweet Italian sausage recipe that I use all the time in pasta sauces and on pizza. 1  5 lbs boned pork butt. 2  5 teaspoons cracked fennel seed. 3  5 teaspoons fine ground black pepper.  3 1/2 teaspoons pickling salt (or 5 teaspoons kosher 1  salt) 1 cup ice water.  32-35mm natural or collagen casing.
