    TREAT:
    Homemade Liverwurst
    Ingredients
    1 pound fresh pork liver, cubed
    3/4 pound lean pork butt, cubed
    1/4 pound pork fat, cubed
    1 large sweet white onion, about 1-1/2 cups, finely diced
    3 tablespoons powdered dry milk
    1 teaspoon freshly fine ground white pepper
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
    2 teaspoons paprika
    1 teaspoon sugar
    1/2 teaspoon marjoram
    1/2 teaspoon finely ground coriander
    1/4 teaspoon mace
    1/4 teaspoon allspice
    1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom


    Instructions
    This recipe is slightly different from the previous ones in that we don?t use animal casings. You will need a piece of unbleached muslin about twelve inches long and eight inches wide. As an alternative, you can use large collagen casings.

    Fold the muslin lengthwise and tightly stitch a seam across one of the short ends and continue along the open side. Keep the stitching about an eighth of an inch from the edge of the material. The short side of the seam can be curved in a semicirle to give the finished product a rounded end. Turn the casing inside out so that the stitching is on the inside. Set it aside until you are ready to stuff it.

    Put the cubes of liver, pork, and fat through the fine disk or the grinder separately and then mix and grind together. Sprinkle the remaining ingredients over the ground meat and mix thoroughly with your hands. Put the mixture through the fine blade of the grinder twice more, chilling the mixture for half and hour between grindings.

    Pack the mixture into the muslin casing. It helps to fold the open end down over itself to get things started. This makes it easier to reach the bottom. Pack the meat as firmly as possible. Stitch the open end closed or firmly secure it with a wire twist tie.

    In a large kettle, bring enough water to a boil to cover the liverwurst by two or three inches. Put the sausage in the boiling water and place a weight on it to keep it submerged. Two or three large dinner plates work just fine. When the water returns to a boil, reduce heat so that the water barely simmers. Cook for three hours. Drain out the hot water and replace it with an equal quantity of ice water. When the liverwurst has cooled, refrigerate it overnight, and them remove the muslin casing.

    Store the liverwurst in the refrigerator and eat it within ten days.

  4. YUM! That sounds almost as good as cake! It has been suggested that I am HULA worthy. Apparently my recent blog post about getting back at Mom for having my nails clipped would qualify me. How might I apply?

  5. We will have to "paw or treat" as hu-mom snipped our claws after Jack clawed her arm open trying to convince her to give him a treat.
    Mmm, the livergreat sound terrific, but I can't imagine my hu-mom making anything so ambitious.

    Wooos, and a-roos,
    Star and Jack the wonder boy

  6. We couldn't help but notice....if this recipe is for husky consumption you might want to omit the onion, other than that, we're gonna put mom right on it, as soon as she gets done baking our treats for the Husky Howl raffle. (she says "dream on, it's cheaper & easier to buy it" but we haven't had our claws trimmed in a while....)
    Manykisses,
