Maple Sausage Seasoning
Maple Sausage Seasoning
Maple Sausage Seasoning is a sweet and spicy, MSG-free seasoning blend. It is also referred to as maple breakfast sausage seasoning, maple sausage spices, and sweet maple sausage blend.
While sausage has been enjoyed around the globe for thousands of years, maple-flavored sausage is most likely an American creation. With the introduction of maple sap and syrup into their diet, North American settlers began choosing maple as a sweetener in the 1800s. The first commercial maple-focused seasonings appeared on shelves in the early part of the 1900s, and saw an explosion in popularity in the 1950s and 1960s.
Maple Sausage Seasoning is sought after by:
- sausage, meal kit, and subscription manufacturers;
- Italian, barbeque, and breakfast restaurants;
- cafes;
- independent spice shops; and
- seasoning companies
Flavor Profile
Maple Sausage Seasoning is sweet, resinous, spicy, and maple-y, with herbaceous fennel and bold pops of black pepper and salt.
How To Use
Mix Maple Sausage Seasoning into ground pork and enjoy Maple Sausage with Sweet Potato Waffle. Make a Maple Roasted Chicken Salad with some seasoned chicken and acorn squash for a hearty, filling fall salad. Blend into beef or turkey and make Glazed Meatballs over Soba Noodles. Swap it into Baked Hash Browns or Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya.
When making sausage, we recommend 1 1/2-2 Tablespoons of Maple Sausage Seasoning per pound of meat, since sausage tends to be more intensely seasoned that other dishes.
This blend is delicious when made into loose or cased sausages. It pairs with pork, chicken, turkey, duck, tofu, seitan, or beef. Use on roasted winter squash, beets, potatoes and sweet potatoes, carrots, and zucchini. Top sourdough or other rustic crackers and breads, flatbreads, pretzels, or gourmet pizza.
