Grind elk shoulder with feral hog fat using a coarse grind twice.

Prepare a spice blend with black pepper, sage, mace, jalapeno seasoning, organic cane sugar, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, clove, herbs de provence, and salt.

Place the ground meat in a tumbler and turn on the grinder to mix with the spice blend.

Taste the mixture by forming a small hand patty and frying it up to check for seasoning.

Adjust seasoning by adding more salt and spices if needed, then tumble the mixture again.

Use the sausage mixture for biscuits and gravy or other dishes.
