Yield:
10 breakfast sausages

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork

  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon dried sage

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • ¼ teaspoon ground marjoram

  • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander

  • 1 pinch ground cloves

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

  1. Combine pork, maple syrup, salt, sage, onion powder, black pepper, red pepper flakes, marjoram, coriander, and cloves in a bowl; mix well. Form into 10 small patties.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add patties, and fry until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (73 degrees C).

Cook's Note:

Do not fry at a higher heat, as the sugars in the maple syrup will burn.
