Preparation

Step 1

Divide the ground pork into roughly four portions, adding each portion to a large bowl one at a time and creating layers by sprinkling 1/4 of the spice mix over each layer of meat. This helps to evenly distribute the seasoning through the sausage without over mixing it.

Mix together:
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup water

Pour over the layered pork and seasoning and mix well. Stuff into prepared sausage casings or portion into one pound packages and freeze for later use.
