1 lb. ground pork
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1½ tsp. ground sage
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
½ tsp. crushed pepper flakes (Optional
1 tsp. fennel seeds
1½ tsp. minced garlic

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine pork, salt, garlic, sage, nutmeg, pepper flakes, fennel seeds, and sugar until well distributed.
2. Divide sausage mixture in half and shape each half into a log.
3. Wrap logs in plastic and chill at least 4 hours or overnight, or freeze until slightly firm, about 30 minutes.
