Cut the pork shoulder and pork belly into small pieces and chill them in the freezer for 30 minutes to make grinding easier.
Prepare the spice blend by combining nutmeg, whole black peppercorns, whole allspice, caraway seeds, dried marjoram, ground ginger, garlic powder, sugar, and kosher salt.
Clean the pork sausage casings by soaking them in lukewarm water for 10 minutes, then rinse the inside thoroughly and check for any holes, cutting them away as needed.
Season the chilled meat with the spice blend and mix thoroughly by hand to evenly coat.
Ensure your meat grinder is well chilled, then grind the meat slowly through a coarse 8 mm plate.
In a large bowl, use a paddle attachment on a mixer to gently emulsify the ground meat by adding apple cider vinegar and cold water, helping the fat and meat bind together.
Using the sausage-stuffing attachment on the grinder, fill the casings with the meat mixture, tying off one end and being careful to avoid air bubbles inside the casings.
Form individual sausages by twisting the links to your desired length, alternating direction of twists to prevent unraveling.
Prick each sausage several times with a toothpick or fine needle to prevent splitting during cooking.
Quickly sear the sausages in a hot cast-iron skillet with oil, browning them without burning.
