Sausage spice help............

| Anyone have any idea what kind of spices I would use to make Italian sweet sausage? I called and ask Penzeys and all they could come up with is salt, pepper and fennel seed. Is that all there is to it or am I missing something?

From the jar of Penzey's Italian sausage seasoning:
salt, fennel seed, Tellicherry black pepper and sugar. Smells and tastes great. |

The sausage I buy is made near by...by a small Italian grocery store. It's wonderful and much sought after....and very red. For anyone in Iowa it's Graziano's
None better as far as I am concerned! |

| elery uses the recipe he learned from Mr. Castellici when he was a teenager. It starts with ground pork and then he adds grated asiago cheese, moscato wine, fennel, salt, pepper, sugar, tarragon, basil, garlic. No red pepper because I like it sweet, not spicy. I'm sorry I can give you amounts, we usually start with about 5 pounds of ground pork, add half a bottle of Moscato, a couple of cups of Asiago, maybe 4 tbls of fennel becasue I love it, a tablespoon each of oregano, tarragon. Probably half a cup of sugar, half a dozen minced cloves of garlic. Mix it and stuff it! Annie |

| Linda, next time you buy some ask they what’s in it that gives it such a nice red color? Maybe they will tell you or maybe they will say it’s an old family secret but it never hurts to ask. Claudia |

| Claudia I just realized you wanted sweet so you may want to omit the red pepper flakes. Hope it works out for you |

| It is probably paprika that makes the sausage red. |
