Cumberland Sausage

List of Ingredients




6 oz Pork back fat - minced
1 lb Shoulder of pork - minced
1 oz Stale breadcrumbs
½ slice Smoked bacon - minced
Salt
Pepper
Nutmeg
Mace





Recipe



The pork should be boned and skinned. Mix the shoulder and the fat. Add 8 tbsp hot water to the crumbs. Mix everything together using your hands, seasoning well with pepper, and adding a generous pinch of both the spices. Fry a spoonful of the sausage to test the seasoning. Fill the sausage casings as usual. Prick in a few places and allow to sit overnight before cooking. These are very good baked in a buttered baking dish at 350°F until browned. Turn after 20 minutes, and raise the heat if the sausages are cooking too slowly.

Makes 4 servings.
