Pork Sausage Seasoning

[Parson Snows]

This was kindly given to me some time ago by British butcher Phil Groth of Phil's Sausages, High Street, Hampshire. He has kindly given me permission to share it with the other members of the forum

Original Text follows ****

There aren't any books that I know of on British Bangers and most butchers keep their recipes to themselves. But to make them yourself is pretty simple so long as you have some equipment. A mincer with a sausage stuffing attachement is handy, if not a food blender can be used to make the meat and getting it into the skins can be done with an icing bag.

Anyway here is a recipe that might help.

Make the seasoning first.
1 lb salt
2oz ground white pepper
2oz ground black pepper
2oz ground nutmeg
1oz ground mace
1oz ground ginger
1/2 oz ground allspice(pimento)
Mix all the ingredients together well and keep in a sealed jar.

This is a basic pork sausage spice mix that can be used in many recipes.
I'll send the recipe in another e mail

Phil suggests using this spice mixture at 20 to 25 grams per kilo.

Thanks Parson also thanks Phil Groth. I love to see spice mixes as it promotes ideas. One has to be circumspect using spices in English bangers or they become overpowering.

I will pass on your thanks to Phil in our Christmas email.

I would have posted it earlier but as it isn't my spice mix I was waiting for approval from Phil. His comment unlike a lot of butchers was "spread the word"
