You can freeze it and cook it any time you want.

I add cure to a lot of fresh sausage . Great for the grill .
Just curious, why would you want to cure breakfast sausage? It is typically a fresh sausage that is cooked fairly quickly so there really isn't a need to cure it.

Bingo. Cure can give ordinary (fresh) sausage a pinkish color, and add the 'cured' flavor. Many of the Texas hot link recipes call for a lower dose of Tenderquick just for that purpose.Welcome from Colorado.
Everyone has you covered. There are fresh sausage recipes that I add cure #1 to just for that color and flavor. Do you care to share this recipe? Besides pictures we really like recipes.
