Spicy Skinless Sausages
Are you scared of what is in those sausages you bought from the store? Dread no more! Homemade sausages are easy to make and taste so much better!
I love knowing what is in my sausages, and if I'm going to go to all that trouble (well, not really trouble, but you know what I mean), I may as well enjoy them, too. So this is my sausage of choice. Add one of the varied mashes from my website or books, salad, chips, gravy, roast veggies, a fresh bun...whatever you like really. They're all yours!
(OH, and don’t scrimp on the fat...you really need it in sausages...it’s a non negotiable. K?)

If you are not big on pork, substitute chicken and duck fat for the pork and lard, respectively.
