Bless ya for skipping them Anise seeds...that is way too big of an overdose listed for them thangs. Would make your sausage taste like a likkorish stick. 1 t. would be plenty for that much meat. Not sure whut the likkorish flavor liquer do to it. You a mighty smart feller to not let Brucie trick ya on that deal. That boy must be some kind of retard.

Well I aint gonna argue with either of ya on the merits of anise. It do have its place..which is an occasional pleasant hitting of a seed being a good thing. Bad thing is to overdose it. Learnt this the hardway early in my search for the ultimate hotlink recipe. Followed a recipe by some idiot named Otis Boyd. Sure you hit on Goggle real quick. The boy is obviously a yankee. His hotlinks taste like likkerish sticks.

OK then the only place I ever really liked anise was in mom's Christmas cookies and Sambuca with 3 coffee beans. I do like the fennel tho.

I'm not much on the Anise as well and was glad to see it can be used as an option.

I was also surprised to see so much fennel seed in it but like BW says, fennel is what makes it Italian. It's one of the best Italian sausages I've made, great flavor profile all around

A while back King Soopers (Kroger) was selling chubs of Italian sausage for a song. Got home and discovered why...they didn't put hardly any fennel in it. Got that resolved pretty fast and a good meal was had by all.

I've printed out your recipe and stuck it in the back of my sausage recipe book :D
