Scrapple #1
Source of Recipe
from recipesource .com
A good quality scrapple has a lot of meat pieces in it and
does Not have any cornmeal in it. That detracts from the
actual pork flavorings.
Scrapple #1
3 pounds lean pork
1 veal knuckle, split
2 medium chopped onions
2 teaspoons & 3 teaspoons salt, separated
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon ground mace
2 2/3 cups ground oatmeal
Put the pork, veal knuckle, onions and 2 teaspoons of the salt into a large pot.
Cover with water and simmer for 2 hours or until the meat is very tender and falls apart.
Discard the veal knuckle, skim fat from the broth and strain.
Grind the meat.
Return broth to pot and add the ground pork, the remaining 3 tsp. salt, pepper, thyme, sage, mace, and the oatmeal.
Cook slowly for 1 hour, stirring occasionally so it doesn't stick.
It should cook to a mush. Add more hot water if necessary.
Pour into greased loaf pans. Let set up, then refrigerate/ and or freeze.
Makes 1 batch.
To serve, slice thin and fry in a little oil or bacon drippings until a crisp brown on both sides.
