There’s nothing better than maple sausages for breakfast.  Why suffer the convenience of buying them from the grocery store for a reasonable price when you can make them yourself?

Start with a lot of pork.

Next, chop it into small cubes (ignore the suggestions to cut it into long thin strips and remove the fat at your own peril, as discussed later)

Now that your meat is chopped, it’s time to do some grinding. Start feeding the cubes into your meat grinder, preparing for it to become clogged with fat if you neglected to trim it.

Once the meat is ground, dump the spices and onion in there, as well as half a cup of maple syrup, and mix it well with your hands.  It may look like this afterwards.

Now for the final step.  Cut off a few feet of sausage casing (you can get the casing at a butcher shop) and slide it onto your sausage stuffer, then tie off the end.  Start feeding the seasoned ground meat into the stuffer until you have one giant sausage and tie off the other end.  Twist the sausage at various points to make smaller links.  Repeat until you’re out of ground meat.

When you’re ready to eat, cook all the way through and then pour some more maple syrup over top for the best results.
