For Cooking

Method

Preparation of Meat

  1. 1

    Cook the Pork

    In a large pot, combine the pork shoulder and pork liver. Add 4 cups of water and bring to a boil over high heat.

  2. 2

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for about 2 hours, or until the meats are tender.

  3. 3

    Shred the Meat

    Remove the meats from the pot and let them cool. Once cool, shred the pork shoulder and liver into small pieces.

Making the Scrapple Mixture

  1. 4

    Prepare the Broth

    Strain the cooking liquid to remove any solids and measure out 2 cups of the broth.

  2. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large saucepan, combine the 2 cups of broth, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, thyme, sage, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine.

  3. 6

    Cook the Mixture

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.

  4. 7

    Add the Meat

    Once thickened, stir in the shredded pork and liver into the cornmeal mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Setting and Cooking

  1. 8

    Pour into a Mold

    Transfer the mixture into a greased loaf pan or similar mold. Smooth the top with a spatula.

  2. 9

    Chill

    Refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, or until set.

  3. 10

    Slice and Fry

    Once set, remove from the mold and slice into thick pieces. Heat butter and oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the slices until golden brown on each side, about 3-5 minutes.
