  • 4. The most helpful posted review follows: vinnie-bag-o-donuts Feb. 5, 2011 246 (likes) As an old school Italian, there isn't nearly enough spice for 20 lbs of pork. Surprised you can get any flavor at all. I've modified several times and I'm getting close to what I consider real Italian hot sausage from the neighborhood. Good spices, just needs a little help. Try this: * cut back to 3-4 lbs of pork (grind your own) * 1/2 tsp salt, * 1 tbs garlic salt, * 1/2 tsp pepper, * 1 tbs paprika, * 1/4 C olive oil, * 1/2 tbs anise , * 2 tbs fennel seed, (fennel is porks best friend) * 1 tbs red pepper Trick: after is sets overnight, fry up a meatball of it and check its flavor. Add what you think it needs and set it overnight again. If it's fresh you should be able to do this several times before you have to freeze it or cook it. Vinnie

I'm not sure why this recipe has so many good reviews. I made it exactly as directed and the sausage was dry and bland.

I love the flavor of this sausage, but it's a little too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less cayenne pepper.
