Butcher a Hog/Pig: Making breakfast sausage and cuts for freezing (homesteading)
What happens here
Lay out a layer of wax paper and clear plastic wrap on a clean countertop to create a sanitary workspace and prevent mess. Tape the edges of the plastic wrap to the countertop to secure it. First, sprinkle about three-quarters of a bag of 'Legg's Old Plantation Seasonings Pork Sausage Seasoning Blend 10' onto the prepared surface. Next, carefully pour the cubed pork meat, along with its fat and trimmings, onto the seasoning. Spread the meat evenly. Then, sprinkle the remaining sausage seasoning over the meat, along with an additional amount of 'It's Delish Sage' to taste. Thoroughly mix the seasoning into the meat by hand, ensuring even distribution throughout the entire batch. The goal is to achieve a consistent flavor profile for the sausage.
Goal: Evenly season the cubed pork meat for country breakfast sausage.
