Nels, next time you make sausage try mixing your spices with ice cold water
before applying to your meat mixture. You will get a much more even
distribution of spice this way. Also hot water is a bacteria delight when
making sausage. You need to keep your meat mixture as cold as possible at
all times. Enjoy, nothing beats homemade sausage.
