Farmers Bratwurst

What do I need?

1 pound lean pork from shoulder or leg

10 ounces lean beef

8 ounces shoulder fat or very fat pork belly

2 Tsp Salt

1 ½ teaspoons white pepper

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

½ teaspoon marjoram

1 teaspoon grated lemon rind

1 tablespoon milk

This is how it is made!

Put the beef, pork, and fat through the medium or coarse blade of the meat grinder.

Mix the herbs and spices, the salt and the milk together and mix well into the meat. Put the meat in sausage casings.

The sausage can also be cooked as is.

[The recipe goes on to state that the würste can be put in glass jars and cooked (“canned”) for 120 minutes for those wanting to keep the meats. This is an old-fashioned method used prior to refrigerators and freezing.]
