My Scrapple Recipe

 

   I have had people ask me how I make my Scrapple so I thought I would share the recipe.  Keep in mind this is not the authentic Scrapple, but something that tastes very similar to it and is much easier to make. 😉  For me, Scrapple is comfort food and something that my mother and I used to enjoy as a special treat.  I searched for years to find a recipe that was easy and had the same flavor profile and finally hit on this one.

Brown 1 1/2 pounds of sausage in a large saucepan.  You can use plain ground sausage or Sage sausage (which will save you a step).  Do not drain the fat!

While that is browning get your other ingredients ready.  2 2/3 cup water, 1 cup cornmeal, 1 t. salt, 1 to 2 t. sage depending on how much sage you like (omit if using sage sausage), and 1/4 t. of pepper or a bit more to taste.

Add your water and seasonings and the bring to a boil.

Slowly mix in your cornmeal and then simmer it for about 15 minutes, stirring every few minutes.

Put the mixture into a parchment or wax paper lined loaf pan and then refrigerate until cold and firm.

Slice it up into about 1/2 inch slices and fry up until browned in a skillet.  You will not need to put oil in the pan since there is already oil from the sausage.  Enjoy!
