How To Make crusty scrapple

  • Step 1
    Peel and dice one onion.
  • Step 2
    Simmer pork ribs with salt, bay leaf, thyme, cloves and onion in the water until the meat falls off the bones.
  • Step 3
    Remove the bones and gristle, rub the meat into fibers (with your fingers), and reduce this pork liquor to about 4 cups by further boiling.
  • Step 4
    Cool 1 cup of the pork liver and mix it with coarse corn meal and cayenne.
  • Step 5
    Add the sage, rubbing it between your fingers to crush it as you put it in.
  • Step 6
    In your food processor, using the steel blade, grind pork liver, the other onion, and the garlic cloves.
  • Step 7
    Fry the resulting slurry in butter.
  • Step 8
    Add the cornmeal mixture and the pork-liver mixture to the pork liquor and simmer the whole thing over a very low flame (or in the top of a double boiler) for half an hour.
  • Step 9
    Spread thin into two 9-inch square pans to cool. (The pans needn\'t be greased.)
  • Step 10
    To serve, cut and fry squares or fingers with sunny-side-up eggs on the side.
