Need help - what's the best maple season

Personally I don't like Leggs. I think the maple tastes too artificial.

Walton’s has good sausage mixes. I’ve not tried their maple but I’ve heard good things about it. I’ve used several of their other mixes and they are solid. Here is a link to their breakfast sausage mixes, they have a couple maple flavored ones.

Naive question since I've never made sausage...is there a reason other than cost to not just use real maple syrup? Can't beat the taste; is the added water or sugar content a problem?

No help on the seasoning, but that's a big pineywoods rooter, as we call them, and a lot of sausage. No offense to @pineywoods, but there's an area here that's locally called pineywoods that has a lot of hogs and hog hunting. How much did he weigh and where were you hunting? My biggest was 350 lbs. with a bow back in 1995.

To my knowledge you can absolutely use real maple sugar. I believe I've seen several recipes using it.

You can use maple syrup or maple sugar but it’s difficult to get the maple flavor to come through. Commercial spice companies use them also but add other concentrates that help bring the maple flavor out.

I hate to admit it, but mine stunk so bad, we dug a hole with a backhoe and buried it. I've got the toofies around here somewhere.

I think there are lots of "pineywoods" all over the US
