Italian Sausage

• 1 lb ground pork
• 1 tsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp parsley
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 2 tsp basil
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
• 1/2 tsp ground fennel
• 1/4 tsp brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp thyme
• 1/4 tsp oregano
• (2 tbsp fat if your sausage is lean (I used Crisco, but any solid fat would work)) *optional

Mix all ingredients together in mixing bowl. Chill in refrigerator at least 24 hours. If you have fancy casing equipment, by all means, go for it. I cook in scrambled in a skillet and use in other dishes.
