1 small onion, chopped

Break sausage into small chunks. Add water and onion and simmer 20 minutes or until confident sausage is thoroughly cooked.

Strain out meat. Save stock and enough water to make 1 quart. Add salt and sage to stock, and heat to boiling. Slowly sprinkle in cornmeal, stirring constantly, and cook until thick. Cook over low heat 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
