@ryan-yoder The maple sugar will give you a subtle flavor, I add real maple flavoring in addition to the sugar to kick up the maple taste. If you add too much sugar your sausage will become really sweet and unless that is what you are trying to get as well you will probably want to add flavoring as well. I find the sugar doesn’t quite add enough flavor and ends up more like a maple brown sugar flavor rather than straight maple. How much to add also depends on how much sausage you are making and what you are using as far as seasonings, pre-packaged vs. homemade.
