    peppreoni

    I believe that you may want to add to your spicing... fine grind anise seed and fine grind fennel seeds .these are the seasonings that will give it the pepperoni flavor...red chili (fine grind the flakes and seeds) cayenne and chili powder for heat.

    72% pork trim for sausage?

    I have found that these trim boxes contain a lot of belly/ picnic/trim..works for commercial sausage because they usually put a crumb style of binder in their sausages.For home the butt =QUALITY.
