This recipe was created by my friend Ruth A. It is a spicy, flavorful homemade sausage. Very yummy!! I think it tastes delicious, although it is fairly hot (peppery), so if you don't like hot foods, you may want to decrease the pepper or ginger just slightly. Overall, this is an excellent, above-average homemade sausage recipe!! My rating: 10/10.
