Homemade Pork Sausage, first try

I couldn't resist experimenting with ground pork, considering it's only fifty cents a pound!

INGREDIENTS

• 2 pounds ground pork
• 2 teaspoons ground sage
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar

Mix it all up (get your hands in there and really work it!).
Scoop out 1/4 c. at a time, shape into patties. Place on cookie sheet covered in waxed paper.
Flash freeze; transfer to freezer bag for storage in freezer.To cook: fry over medium heat, turning often, until brown and center is no longer pink.

My take: a decent recipe but something was missing. It's more firm than store bought sausage, but noted that no fat cooked out of the patties. I have a bag full of sausage patties, so it'll be a while before I can tweak it and try again.
