How To Make Seasoned Sausage from Whole Pork Butt (Boston Butt)
Can you make sausage with pork butt?
So when buying pork butt for making sausage. Get boneless pork butt, otherwise you are stuck taking the bone out yourself. Another option is picnic shoulder cut for making sausages. This cut is made just below the butt and above the pigs foot. While you can make sausages with picnic shoulder, you usually have to add extra fat.

Yes. Pork, like other sausages, is rich in purines, which when broken down by the body are transformed into uric acid, which can accumulate in the joints, causing inflammation and intense pain, which is gout.
Do you use a butt end for sausage?
Deleted by SausageBoy! Like SausageBoy said it is a matter of preference. Mostly I use the Butt end (Boston butt). I usually find them to my liking for general sausage making depending on how they are cut and trimmed. Sometimes I add or subtract a little fat depending on how they are broken down.
Can you use pork loin for sausage?
The downside to using pork loin for making sausage is the meat is leaner. Typically leaner pork meats are more costly and are better suited for making other cuts like pork chops or roasts rather than sausages. Pork loins can be used for sausages but expect a slightly leaner and drier sausage.
