We get our meat in bulk packages from an
old-fashioned meat market that raises, butchers, and sells fresh butchered
meats. We make the 5 hour long drive twice a year, but we are thinking of
cutting our meat consumption in half this year, so we’ll only be making the
drive every Spring from now on.
Due to the meat packages we purchased in May
this year, we have an over-abundance of pork sausage. So while looking over the
freezer fare the other day and seeing the stacks of pork sausage, I thought of
this recipe and decided to make it this morning. I like sausage when the
weather turns chilly – I like it fresh fried with eggs and toast/pancakes or
waffles … or fried ahead and packed into an impromptu lunch with hard-boiled
eggs and challah bread either at home or quickly packed up for a spur of the
moment daytrip.
These patties are heady with fall/winter
spices and they smell heavenly while being put together and fried. And the
taste is, of course, wonderful!
If there are any leftover patties … they can be wrapped tightly
and frozen for up to 3 months.
Homemade Pork Sausage Patties – 24 patties
¼ cup dry Red Wine * 2 teaspoons Pickling Spices *
5 pounds ground Pork Sausage * 2
TBSP Salt * 1½ TBSP ground Black
Pepper * 1½ teaspoons ground
Cinnamon * ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
In a 1-2 quart pan over high heat, bring wine
and pickling spices to a boil; remove from heat and let cool to room
temperature – about 45 minutes. Pour through a strainer into a large bowl;
discard solids.
Add ground pork, salt, pepper, cinnamon, and
nutmeg to bowl. Mix very thoroughly with your hands to distribute spices evenly.
Shape about 1/3 cup (about 3 oz) pork mixture
into an oval patty about ½-inch thick. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheet.
Repeat to shape remaining mixture into patties, stacking them in layers
separated by sheets of waxed paper.
Fry patties in a 10 to 12-inch frying pan
over medium heat, turning as needed, until browned on both sides and no longer
pink in the center – about 10 to 15 minutes total. Serve and enjoy!
