           Ingredients:
Servings: 2 pounds

2 1/2 pounds pork butt, cut into
   1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon freshly ground white
   pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano or marjoram
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black
   pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon red wine or apple
   cider vinegar
1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Directions:
Combine the pork, salt, garlic, paprika, white pepper, oregano, sugar, black pepper and red pepper in a large bowl and mix well.

Pass through a course food grinder.

(Alternately, transfer in 2 batches to a food processor and process until finely ground.)

Transfer to a large bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.

Add vinegar to the meat and stir well.

To test the seasoning, heat the oil in a small skillet, and cook about 2 teaspoons of the mixture.

Adjust seasoning, to taste.

Form the meat into patties.

Preheat a home smoker to 250 degrees F.

Smoke the sausage for 1 1/2 hours.

Remove from the smoker and use as desired.
