"Alton Brown has been my go-to guy for southern recipes like his cooking method for country ham. So I came straight here when looking for a sausage recipe. I'm giving 4 stars because it has a lot of potential, but I am withholding one because I found it tasted weird to me with rosemary, and a bit under spiced. Next time I will double both the crushed red pepper and the cayenne, and substitute marjoram for rosemary.

I think it is also worth note that the show says only to add fatback "if necessary", but the printed recipe here calls for it every time. I found that I probably could have done without the additional fat as a good Boston butt is nearly an 80/20 ratio already.
