Sausage day

[doubles shooter]

My wife and I just finished a 72 pound batch of our family sausage. Made a quadrupal batch to cover us for the holidays and the summer. I love our VacMaster 230. Tho thing is a beast. Between our cheese, venison, and sausage, we have close to 500 seals without a problem.
Now I have to find a bunch of freezer space. Lousy pictures. Sorry.

Thanks for the likes everyone. CRB. Yes one mix. I've been making it or helping to make it since I was 2 according to my Dad. The little ones started picking the sausage. As we got older, we moved up to turning the crank. We hit the ultimate job when my grandfather let us guide the sausage off the stuffer.
I'm 73 now and the only one still making it.
If anyone is interested, here is the recipe. Been here over 100 years. My Grandson is going to take over when I'm gone keeping the tradition going.
: 18 pounds pork shoulder
1 cup whole fennel seed.
3/4 cup paprika
1/2 cup salt
1/4 cup crushed red pepper.

Enjoy and Merry Christmas to all.

Wow. I felt proud of myself for making 6# of my wife's breakfast sausage this week.
Poor timing on my part. We were fighting for fridge space (she was on her cookie baking binge) but we both got it donegot it done.

I made a batch of hot Italian yesterday. Very similar to your recipe, except....
I was wondering why there wasn't any paprika in the recipes I found

Timber ll. It is just everyday eatin sausage. Going to make 30-40 pounds of Pop's Breakfast sausage over the weekend, and hopefully the same amount of Canadian bacon too. Pork is running $1.99/lb. Good price for here.
