One Of The Guys Who Helps Do The Maple Syrup Fixed Some Scrapple In Our Sugar House Kitchen The Other Day. You Might Like To Try It Some Time. I Think The Recipe Originated In Pennsylvania--at Least That Is Where She Lived.
1 1/2 Lb. Bulk Sausage
1 Tsp. Salt
1/2 Tsp. Sage
1 Cup Yellow Corn Meal
In A Large Sauce Pan, Break Sausage Into Small Pieces. Add 4 Cups Water, Stirring To Separate Meat. (momma Dodd's Son Has Found It Easier To Add The Sausage To The 4 Cups Of Cold Water And Separate The Meat With His Hands...it Seems To Work Better.) Heat Mixture To Boiling; Reduce Heat And Simmer 20 Minutes. Drain, Reserving 3 Cups Of Stock. Add Salt And Sage To Stock, And Bring To Boiling. Combine Corn Meal And 1 Cup Cold Water. Gradually Add To Stock, Stirring Constantly. Cover And Cook Over Low Heat For 10 Minutes, Stirring Occasionally.
Add Sausage, Stir Well, And "pour" Into A 9.5" X 5" X 3" Loaf Pan (or Similar Size). Cool And, Chill Overnight.
Slice 1/4' To 1/2" Thick. Fry In Little Hot Fat Until Brown, Turning Once. Serve Hot With Warm "maple Syrup", If You Can Find Any!
Note: We Were Just Finishing Some Beautiful Really Dark Amber Syrup--it Really Went Well With The Scrapple.
