    Sweet Italian Sausage Recipe

    I have the book , but always use his web site . I base everything off 2 1/2 pounds of pork and 18 grams of salt . From there I've done enough of it that I can add the spice profile by eye . If it's something new to me I'll follow a weight or measure for all of it until I get the hang of it .
