Measure all ingredients into a large bowl. Mix with your hands until ingredients are well blended.
5 pounds ground pork, 2 teaspoons sea salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper, 1 tablespoon sage, 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg, 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes, 1/2 cup sweet marsala wine, 1/2 - 1 cup ice water
Optional: Sample the sausage. Of course, the flavors won't have saturated the pork, but by frying up a little mini patty, you'll be able to check the seasoning to make sure you're happy with the flavor.
Package breakfast sausage into desired size; store in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Times reflected above do not include the grinding of the pork. If you intend to grind your own pork, allot another 1/2 hour or so.
