1/2 ts Or more ground sage

6 Peppercorns

1 ts Salt

4 lb Pork scraps with bones OR 1

Directions

Heres a Pennsylvania Dutch version of scrapple. Youll probably have better luck rounding up pork scraps than a pigs head, although you could probably pick one up at an Asian or Latino market. Parboil pork scraps or head, in water to cover, for 10 minutes. Drain; discard water. return to pot with fresh water to cover, salt, peppercorns, cloves and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 3 hours, or until meat falls off the bones easily. Strain stock; reserve. Remove all meat from bones and chop; set aside. Reheat stock; gradually add cornmeal, stirring constantly until thick, about 15 minutes. Add meat, onion, cayenne, nutmeg and sage; adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Pour into 2 greased loaf pans. Refrigerate until set. Slice and fry for breakfast. Will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serves 12. From "Innards and Other Variety Meats".
