A recipe of my own design.
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1 medium granny smith apple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
1 pound ground pork
1.5 to 2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp fresh sage, finely chopped
1 tsp chopped (you guessed it, finely) parsley
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
mix all ingredients well, use a food processor if you want.
put in a bowl in the fridge overnight to marry the flavors.
form into patties or stuff into skins the following morning and cook 'em in a cast iron skillet until they're done.
My wife pronounced this "the best breakfast sausage ever."
