How to Make Apple Maple Breakfast Sausage Homemade
- Cut 1 lb pork shoulder into 2-inch pieces and 4 oz pork fat into 1-inch cubes.
- Grind the pork and fat through a 1/4-inch grinding plate using a meat grinder. Alternatively, pulse in small batches in a food processor.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup apple cider or dry white wine, 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Add 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional).
- In a large bowl, gently combine the ground meat and the wine/spice mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours. (The longer it marinates, the better the flavor!)
- Divide the sausage mixture into 1-pound portions. Package and freeze for future use.
- To cook, form the sausage into patties or desired shapes. Cook in a skillet over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until browned and cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
