Maple Breakfast Sausage

This is a great way to cook your breakfast sausage. It is fantastic on biscuits or with eggs.  It was a great way to start off yet another rainy day in Georgia.

Ingredients:
1 pound of your favorite breakfast sausage (hot if you can find it)
1 1/2 tablespoons of your favorite run (we used Wild Willy's)
1/4 cup real maple syrup
Extra sauce to glaze

Spread the meat out on a cookie sheet, sprinkle on the rub and add the maple syrup. Form into a log (about 12 inches) and refrigerate overnight.

Sprinkle with more rub before cooking.

Cook at 300°,  to 170°-175° internal. Brush on more maple syrup for the last 20 minutes. It takes about 45-60 minutes to get the color, crust and fat rendered.
