If the JD ingredients are correct I can now make this fabulous tasting sausage at home. I love
its great flavor, but I can't handle the heat. Now I believe I can enjoy this w/o the heat. I've tried various spice variations, but my hope is that this will be a very good mimic.

I find doubling the spice in this recipe is much better. I made a regular and added maple syrup to it.
Pretty darn close to JD.
