Tennessee Pride Sausage

"My husband is from Tennessee, and now being in California there are things that he really misses. I was going to see if there was a way to get some Tennessee Pride Sausage shipped to us and keep a supply in the freezer but my father-in-law said its just not like it used to be. I came across this recipe with no intension of coming up with a copy to theirs, but just to explore the world of sausage making in general...."

directions

  • Combine all ingredients and mix well. Store in an air tight container.
  • Add 2 tsp of Spice Mix to 1 pound of fresh ground pork. (This whole spice mix is enough for 10 lbs of fresh ground pork).
  • NOTE: We wait until early fall when pork shoulders tend to go on sell for the best price and grind our own, then package up and freeze 1 pound packages for future use of a variety of different sausage recipes. I know our local grocery stores carry fresh ground pork just like hamburger. Ask your butcher if you don't see it :).
  • Add a couple tablespoons of oil to pan if your sausage is really lean.
  • Pat sausage out into 4-6 patties depending on desired size preference.
  • Fry on medium heat for about 4 minutes, flip and fry other side for another 3 minutes. Make sure sausage is fully cooked. Time may very depending on how thick you make your patties.

  1. This is a delicious recipe. I made it, adding red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper to make it hot. Based on experience with other recipes, I used 1 Tbsp per pound; I like it slightly stronger and I think this amount better resembles the taste of commercial products. However, this did not taste like Odem's Tennessee Pride. Again, it's delicious, but missing something. Maybe more nutmeg?

<p>I am very fortunate to have an amazing cook for a mother.&nbsp; I learned much from her in my early years.&nbsp; I also had grandparents that loved to have the kids in the kitchen with them every year as then canned and put up all of the wonderful bounty summer brought us.&nbsp; Canning is one of my most favorite hobbies and I'm so thankful to them for teaching me the craft.&nbsp; I have an Native American Indian heritage that came from Oklahoma that offered such a wonderful southern influence to our cooking style.&nbsp; My husband, being a Tennessee native, lived in an area that had a large Amish community.&nbsp; Thankfully the family recipes of the deep south (with an Amish influence) have been shared with me.&nbsp; His family as well were a long line of canners so he actually gets into the kitchen with me when its jam and jelly season taking up his official taste testing duties with a serious diligence.</p>
