My son the culinary genius
So last weekend, we went to Slate Run Farm and while we were there we got some pumpkins. S, of course, wanted to cook something with them and specifically said we should make pumpkin sausages. So we did. And they were amazing.
Here's the recipe that I made up, based on a country sausage recipe I found on www.cdkitchen.com.
2.5 lbs fresh ham roast (shoulder/butt roast should work fine as well) freshly ground
1 Tbl kosher salt
1 tsp fresh ground pepper
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp maple sugar
1 pinch nutmeg
1/3 cup fresh pumpkin puree
Mix all of the above and chill for 15-20 minutes. Form into patties and cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes per side. Add 1 Tbl water to the pan, tightly cover with a lid and reduce heat to medium low. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the patty is cooked all the way through.
