Preparation

In a big pan at medium heat, melt the butter and add the pears with 1 teaspoon of fennel seeds. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool down for 5 minutes.
Pour the pepper, juniper berries and bay leaves in a blender and shred until fine.
In a big bowl, add the pears, spices mix and the rest of the ingredients then mix well with your hands.
Fill your sausages with your favourite machine ( without grinding again to keep the texture ) and make sure your casings are wet at all time to make it easier for you.
Preheat the oven at 400°F.
Place your sausages on a baking tray and cook in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked and nicely grilled, flipping them once in a while!
