Made some salceson. Ended up with 5 lbs of finished product. No snouts or head meat here. Used pork feet, hock, a couple of tongues and some pork trimmings. Semi froze the skins and then chopped them fine since I did not want to wash the grinder after using it for such a small amount. Cured...

Last post

It worked with the pork and only partially with the tongues. I would now do that only if I had no time, since the theory is that longer contact with nitrite improves the meat. (And I was scolded for that practice by our colleagues on the Polish language forum. :oops: )

Been processing a pig - all except the wobbly bits anyway and ended up making some head cheese using Mr. Marianski's recipe where you cure the head in a strong brine for seven days. This recipe didn't call for any citrus or vinegar like most head cheeses I've made in the past. Not saying this is...

Last post

Yes, I've use the stock every time I've boiled a pig head. There's nothing like it. Well, half a head is the way I do it. A full head would create a lot of stock - but it seems like you are always cooking for a crowd. I've frozen the stock at times, but never canned it. Great idea.

Last post

I'm wondering it the reason some recipes call for cooked liver is too make the product more spreadable. The cooked proteins wouldn't be binding the the fats and water, so it's more of a pate in texture then a cooked sausage?

That makes sense.

While they do make sewn bungs and other specialty casing for Wursts you can just use a fibrous casing if you want to smoke it. You can still poach with no problems. As far as the commercial products in plastic casings with smoke...it is of the liquid variety and added to the mince.

Liver Mush is a local dish of the Carolina`s. It is sometimes called poor man`s pate. Its served on sandwiches with a good mustard and some mayo or pan fried and served with eggs for breakfast. You either love it or hate it. To me, its great stuff. Can`t buy it where I live now cause its rare as...

My younger son asked me if we still eat chicken liver. And I said yes. He said i thought you just fixed it to punish us .

I got the whim to make some souse and this recipe turned out pretty good. Its a nice neutral flavor that is pretty respectable. I had hoped for a little spicier souse to mix with eggs but this fell short for that but its not a bad recipe nonetheless.

Hello Butterbean

I'm trying to duplicate your recipe and have some questions.
How much weight is the total meat used?
When and how much cure #1 did you use? and when did you add it?

When I made your Braunschweiger liver pate, I just simmered the tongue, kidneys, skin/meat and heart for 4-5 hours...

Greetings All,

I had such good results from making Butterbeans recipe for Braunschweiger - I have to make
a lot more because of the demand placed on me from previous tasters. THEY WANT MORE!
Including Carbonaia.

I can not find Butterbeans recipe. I've looked for about an hour. Would you please...

Last post

Thank you Chuckwagon. I would encourage the entire forum to promptly assist Doug in all ways. As his taster, I promise to report back. I would like to report that your advice so far has been highly effective. :mrgreen:

Inspired by Butterbean's wonderful recipe for souse, I decided to make some, as well as some blood and tongue sausage since it uses almost the same ingredients.

Here's what I used:

Pork Hocks 2630 g
Pigs Feet 3583 g
Beef Tongue 3039 g
Pork sirloin 907 g
Pork Backfat 272 g - ONLY used for the...

Last post

Butterbean, I'm the one that should be thanking you for inspiring me to make this. Next time I make it, I will leave out the pigs feet since they were too much trouble and I got very little meat off of them. I'll stick with hocks that have the skin on, plus some fairly lean pork and definitely the...

Well Red, I suppose that we can all disagee about the way people express their opinions about the name and catagorization of foods, I can see no reason that I should agree with your often narrow view of the way others have expressed their experience.

HELLO ALL,

I just got from a 425 lb pig offals; heart , kidneys, tongue and a huge liver.
I am a newbie and need recipes on what to do with them. I saw the liver sausage recipe but there is insufficient info for me to make it; time - temp etc.
Cured liver?? Anything liver, anything offal.
Thanks...

Last post

I read recently several liver sausage recipes and the use of cure was mentioned as optional and suggested it if you desired the more pink/red color tone that it imparts.

Has anyone ever vac sealed beef/blood tongue loaf. Here, the prices are so cheap to have it made commercially, it's almost not worth the trouble. I have a commercial grade Hobart slicer and was thinking of getting a 5 lb. loaf, slicing it myself, than vac sealing the product in 1/2 lb. packages....

Last post

I can't say I've ever frozen or even had blood tongue loaf but I have sealed and frozen a whole lot of different things.
If the consistency is anything like a head cheese or souse I would make your slices, seperate them in to pre mesured piles, be sure to put paper between each slice and freez on...

A lot of recipes call for liver. We're getting a lot of Venison livers, hearts, etc. I read the livers need to be skinned and can do a rough job but don't know if there's a right way to do it. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks, for the info. Been out at deer camp, sorry for the long time replying. Will give it a shot.

There is a local butcher shop that has a killing floor. I can buy pork trimming from them. They custom butcher and keep the offal and trimming and they buy some live animals also.
Someday I will ask if they have jowls. A friend has offered me some lamb liver when he slaughters some lambs this fall....

Last post

Yo. In Australia we call lambs liver lambs fry . It has a very subtle taste & is great with onion gravy & mashed spud. Only cook lightly & slightly pink inside.

This turned out really delicious, as long as I stopped telling people it was head cheese ;)

Last post

Hi Jeff,
The skins I always cook before with the bones when I debone pork. This broth is than reduced by half. The next lot I make will have the skins chopped small and I will follow the advise posted by redzed.
For me it's all trial and error but I am getting there.
Regards,
Jan.

I would like to make some Kiszka, Headcheese and Tongue blood sausage which all use tongues and snouts in their mix. My question is do the tongues and snouts have to be skinned after cooking and grinding? Thank you!

Gulyás,
No problem with not posting a picture. I looked into what it takes to post one, and I guess I have to set up an account with a third party, and move pictures from that website into this one....and....well it seems pretty confusing at the moment. I don't imagine I'll be posting pictures any...

Okay I just picked up my hog head, tongues and snouts are ready to go.

My plan is to first parboil the tongues for about 5 minutes, cool and skin before adding to the rest of the kettle full of meat.

Then I'll cook the head, snouts and tongue meat at 190 degrees for a couple of hours to firm up...

Last post

You're right Rick.

In pork head the best part is the cheek meat, and the jowl. But they have much better use for that, then waist it..... :wink: (I mean the jowl)
Grind some for fillers in between the larger chunks, that's all. Look at my sausage in the photo tread.

I thought I`d take a stab at making something my wife really enjoys: smoked liverwurst ( Braunschweiger ). In the past, I could tolerate the stuff, but all I've had is the grayish-brown tubes in the grocery store shelves. I'm hoping what I create at home improves upon THAT stuff....

Most recipes...

Very nice indeed. Another successful project.

Do the good people of Poland have any family recipes for a liver sausage or liver and organ meat sausage? I have been given some beef and pork liver, heart, and tongue and I have some venison liver and heart in the freezer too. I think this would make a good sausage or pate.
