Time 30m

Yield 8 pans

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 lbs ground meat, See NOTE
water
cornmeal
buckwheat flour, see recipe
3 ounces salt
1/4 ounce black pepper
1/4 ounce sweetened marjoram
1/4 ounce nutmeg
1/4 ounce thyme or 1/4 ounce sage
2 1/2 ounces onions
1 pinch mace (optional)
1 pinch red pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • NOTE: the meat involved is Pork head, meat, feet, heart and tongue, or other pork trimmings, if desired, including liver.
  • Place them in a water in a covered container until the soft tissue separates readily from the bone. Separate tissue from bone and grind with a fine grinder. Return the ground meat to the strained soup container and boil. Cereal is then added. A common cereal mixture is seven parts cornmeal and three parts of either buckwheat, white, or rye flour.
  • Approximately 4 lbs of the ground meat combined with 3 lbs of soup (liquid) plus 1 lb of cereal is sometimes used. Gradually moisten the cereal with a cool liquid (water or the cooled soup) to prevent lumping. Add this premoistened cereal to the ground meat-soup mixture slowly then boil for 30 minutes.
  • Prior to finishing boiling, add seasoning.
  • A suggested seasoning combination for 8 lbs of finished scrapple would include 3 oz salt, 1/4 oz black pepper, 1/4 oz sweetened marjoram, 1/4 oz nutmeg, 1/4 oz sage or thyme, and 2-1/2 oz onions. Some prefer to add a pinch of mace and a pinch of red pepper also.
  • After the seasoning is mixed thoroughly and the onions cooked, pour the scrapple into pans (not bowls) and refrigerate to 30 - 32F degrees immediately.
  • Note this is usually made in large batches and saved throughout the year until the next butchering. It uses every part of the pig so nothing is wasted. It wasn't a throwaway society. This is also NOT a city recipe. They didn't butcher as they did in the country.
  • number of pans is a guess.
  • Note: IF you want the instructions for cleaning the meat [from head and so forth] zaar me. I am not going to post it because more people are going to look at this that are NOT going to do it yourself than people who are. Some just don't wanna hear it and that isn't a problem. My brother always turned green.

SCRAPPLE



Scrapple image

Most recipes for scrapple, a dish popular at diners in eastern Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic, call for offal rather than cooked pork. But ours, first published in December 1953 and later in the Food News Department's booklet "Encore for the Roast," was devised as a way to use up leftover pork loin. You can substitute in 1 1/2 cups puréed pork loin or start from scratch with ground pork. You'll need a food processor and a double boiler for this recipe. The latter will save you 45 minutes active stirring time.

Categories     breakfast, brunch, project, sausages, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups ham broth or other meat stock (see recipe)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 cup cornmeal, more for frying
1 pound ground pork (80/20, or 80 percent lean)
1 tablespoon grated onion
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh sage, finely chopped
Bacon fat, for greasing and frying

Steps:

  • Bring ham broth, 1 1/2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in the top of a double boiler over direct heat. Once boiling, sprinkle cornmeal into liquid, stirring constantly till mixture is smooth and starts to boil. Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in the bottom of the double boiler. Place the pot with hot cornmeal on top of the bottom of the double boiler, cover and cook for 45 minutes.
  • While the cornmeal mixture cooks, heat large nonstick skillet. Brown ground pork until cooked thoroughly. Remove from heat and let cool. Do not drain. Once the pork has reached room temperature, grind meat to a paste in a food processor.
  • Place puréed meat in a bowl and add grated onion, 1 teaspoon of salt, the pepper and the sage, and mix well. Add hot cornmeal mixture and combine thoroughly so no lumps remain.
  • Rinse 9-by-5-inch loaf pan in cold water and grease with bacon fat. Pack meat mixture in loaf pan and cover skin of meat with plastic wrap, pressing it against the surface. Meat mixture will be warm to touch. Let meat loaf come to room temperature, and then place in the refrigerator to chill overnight.
  • Remove plastic wrap and unmold scrapple onto a cutting board. Cut into 1/2-inch slices. Dust lightly with cornmeal and fry on both sides in a small amount of bacon fat.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of meats. Scrapple is traditionally made with pork, but you can also use beef, lamb, or veal. Using a combination of meats will give your scrapple a more complex flavor.
  • Grind the meat coarsely. This will help to keep the scrapple from becoming too mushy.
  • Season the meat well. Scrapple should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add herbs, such as sage, thyme, or rosemary.
  • Cook the meat until it is browned. This will help to develop the flavor of the scrapple.
  • Add the cornmeal and water. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a loaf pan. Bake the scrapple in a preheated oven until it is cooked through.
  • Let the scrapple cool before slicing and serving. Scrapple can be served hot or cold.

Conclusion:

Scrapple is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover meat and it is also a budget-friendly meal. Scrapple is a popular dish in the Southern United States, but it is also becoming increasingly popular in other parts of the country. If you have never tried scrapple before, I encourage you to give it a try. You may be surprised at how much you enjoy it.
