Notes

This batch yields about three tablespoons of seasoning, enough to perfectly season around 2.2 pounds of ground pork or a pork and beef combination.
To make the sausage mixture, add the seasoning to the meat along with two to three tablespoons of ice cold water to help bind everything together, then mix well with your hands until the texture becomes sticky and the spices are evenly combined. Always cook a small test patty to check the salt and spice level and adjust if needed. For the best and deepest flavor, cover and refrigerate the meat for four to six hours or leave it overnight, then shape into patties, stuff into casings, or cook in any style you prefer.
You can adjust the heat by increasing the black pepper, leave out the fennel if you want a milder profile, or add a touch more marjoram for an earthier aroma.
Store the seasoning in an airtight jar in a cool, dry place and it will stay fresh for up to three months.
