I have nothing on the Cajun Sausage that I can share, sorry. Its a friend's family recipe from down the road and they are in the business and have been for over 100 years. They are much like I expect Pop Fasset I like to think. They did it all and locally in a realitivly small little store. They branched out as sons and daughters moved away and due to push or shove came back to the business whereever they had moved. Now one member of the family has taken ot regional, their quality sux as does their taste but they make it in mass quantities. But all the small stores still operate on their own. I need to call because the last time my sister went in there store, amongst other items she bought some sausage and it wasn't even smoked so I need to check on him. Hell we run toutlines barefoot as kids.
Honey ham I have done here before, but here's the recipe. I'll give Woodchopper credit on the hammie stix, its not his exact recipe but ...... well its his.
Hammie Stix
5 pounds pork (70/30) course ground and then fine ground
1 1/4 teaspoon cure #1
5 tbsps light brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 tbsps garlic powder
2 1/2 tbsps onion powder
2 1/2 tbsps amephos
2 1/2 teaspoons basil
2 1/2 teaspoons honey
2 1/2 teaspoons mustard seeds
2 1/2 caps maple extract
I always mix it and allow to set over night in the reefer, then just before stuffing I add the cure, phosphates, extract, and honey with a little water to lub it all up..

I smoked it all together using pecan and peach this time I used the
