Combine the skin, meat, blood, and seasonings and mix well. Stuff the mixture into an inverted, cleansed pork stomach or cleansed bungs.** Simmer, at 175 to 185 degrees F, for 2 hours. Turn frequently during the cooling process. Serves 4. [*Note: 1 pkg is a considerably smaller quantity than the smallest spice container I have ever seen stateside. And that, alas, is as specific as I can get on the subject.
