Directions

Mix the shoulder and the fat.

Add 8 tablespoons hot water to the crumbs.

Mix everything together (use your hands), seasoning well with pepper, and adding a generous pinch of both the spices.

Fry a spoonful of the sausage to test the seasoning.

Fill the sausage casings as usual.

Prick in a few places and allow to sit overnight before cooking.

These are very good baked in a buttered baking dish at 350℉ (180℃) F until browned. Turn after 20 minutes, and raise the heat if the sausages are cooking too slowly.

Cumberland Sausage is actually a defined and geographically protected thing, though nobody would complain about someone making their own. One of the interesting aspects is that that comes with a definition which is minimum 80% meat and maximum 20% fat. This recipe is at least 25% fat even if the pork shoulder was 100% lean... so this is a fatty sausage that doesn't deserve the name Cumberland Sausage.
