1 1/2 lb. lean ground pork
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/4 tsp. cloves
1/4 tsp. ginger

Put the pork into a mixing bowl. Add salt, pepper, allspice, cloves and ginger. Stir well. Divide the mixture into 12 portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it to make a patty.

Place a heavy 10-inch skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Arrange 6 sausage patties in the skillet and cook until golden brown (about 3 to 4 minutes on each side).

Put the cooked patties on an ovenproof plate and cover them with foil. Put the plate in a warm oven (200°F). Then cook the remaining 6 patties.

Makes 12 patties.
