Third of three FALL FAVORITES From 1927

Surpassing Home-Made Sausage

Have meat from young pork, as nearly half lean and half fat as possible; cut up fine in food cutter.

Seasoning: For every two pounds chopped meat take one level teaspoon salt, a heaping tablespoon sage, one and a half teaspoons pepper.

Mix together and work into the meat with your hands, sprinkling on a little at a time.

Pack into an earthen dish and keep in a cold place.

Slice it off for frying.
