Ingredients

• ​4 lb (2 kg) lean ground pork
• 2 cups soft fresh bread crumbs
• 1 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tbsp sage, crumbled
• 2 tsp rosemary, crumbled
• 2 tsp thyme, crumbled

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients except oil in a large bowl until well blended.
2. Shape mixture into 2 inch balls. Flatten each ball into a patty 4 inches in diameter.
3. Heat 1 tsp oil in a large non-stick frypan over medium heat. Cook patties in batches, adding additional oil as necessary, until browned on both sides and completely cooked, about 5 – 6 minutes per side. Cooked patties may be frozen for up to 2 months. If freezing, layer patties with wax paper in an airtight container.
