Start with 25 pounds of pork.

Mix in 1 pack of proprietary salt and pepper blend.

Grind the pork using a dual grind grinder for a coarse and medium grind in one pass.

Ensure the meat is around 32-34 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal grinding.

Prepare the maple seasoning, which includes maple sugar, sea salt, cinnamon, and ginger, pre-measured for 25 pounds.

Grind the pork with the maple seasoning mixed in.

Take half of the ground mixture and add 1.5 pounds of thawed frozen blueberries, hand blending them in gently to keep their shape.

Form the sausage mixture into a large ball for easier stuffing into casings.

Use a 15-pound stuffer with a 10 millimeter stuffing horn to fill the 21 millimeter collagen casings, ensuring to remove air pockets during the process.

Twist the filled casings into links, pinching and twisting in opposite directions to secure them.

Cut the links after twisting to keep the ends closed.

Use a Z Linker for efficient link-making if available.
