4 lb Lean fresh pork
2 lb Pork fat
2 ts Finely minced garlic
1 tb Cayenne pepper
1 tb Freshly ground black pepper
2 tb Salt
1/2 ts Ground bay leaf
4 ts Paprika
1/2 ts Sugar
3    Yards sausage casing (opt.)

Grind the pork and fatback to a medium to coarse grind, and mix well with
the other ingredients. Stuff into sausage casings, and tie them off so
that each sausage is about six inches long. You can omit this step and
make sausage patties if you like.

Fresh sausage should be used quickly, and will keep in the refrigerator for
three days. You can also freeze it for up to three months.
