I love making my own sausages. I have a meat grinder and sausage stuffer attachment for my KitchenAid. It is great fun and you can make whatever flavours you like. This halloween I was trying to think up things to make from my kids pumpkin leftovers that was the usual pumpkin soup. Hey presto Pumpkin Spiced Halloween Hotlinks.

Method
- Dice up your meats and then put diced meat through the mincer a couple times.
- Add all the other ingredients a bit at a time then mix it all then add another bit, ensure you have an even spread of all the ingredients.

- Once the sausages are made allow them to rest in the fridge for a few hours or preferably over night.
