Brats & Sausages
Cook pork snouts for approximately 1 hour, let cool and then grind all the meat through a 1/8” grinder
plate. (Pork snouts should be weighed before grinding; you may have to add stock to bring snouts back
up to green weight.) Add all the ingredients and mix well until all the spices are evenly distributed; regrind
again using 1/8” plate. Liverwurst should be stuffed into a beef middle, sewed hog bungs or prime hog
bungs.
There also are sewed synthetic casings available.
Water should be precooked to 180ºF.; liverwurst will then be placed into water and temperature allowed to drop to 160-165ºF.
Cook until an internal temperature of 150-152ºF. is obtained (1-1 1/2 hours).After cooking, remove to a tub filled with ice and
water for a quick chill; add sufficient ice to chill as rapidly as possible, which will require at least 45 minutes.
Remove from ice water and let dry at room temperature; remove to cooler overnight.
Alternately
Cook hog head in kettle until the meat will strip from the bones easily. Cook hearts, tongues and livers
until tender. Remove small bones from tongue. Remove all the meat from kettle, being careful to avoid getting
any bone mixed with meat.
Add 10% stock for each 25 lbs. of meat to bring back to green weight.
