Headcheese

[wkw]

Hi everyone,
Does anyone have a headcheese recipe that they would like to share?

l will be using trotters (pig feet), pork shanks and butt for the meat and to also generate the gelatine.

l will be making it in 110mm clear impermeable casings.

Thanks
Ken

Don't have a recipe, but love old school head cheese

I love it too. I grew up with it. My parents would sprinkle a little vinegar on it.

Me too. Don’t see it very often but I buy it when I do. Don’t have the motivation to make it myself.

Try the head cheese section here to see if any look interesting. We usually make scrapple or souse which are in blocks but one of the others might be one you would like for stuffing. https://www.meatsandsausages.com/sausage-recipes

Try theelliotthomestead.com home made heasxheese recipe. Looks pretty good.
That is The Elliott Homestead site.

Boars Head brand of Hogs Head Cheese spread on crackers (saltines preferred) or used as a filling for po’boys, with a schmear of mustard. Serve it with hush puppies.
Too bad I am the only one to consume it in my family.

Nice. I would like to get one of those ham presses! By the way, my wife is from Finland. Can't get enough pickled herring!

Herring and rye bread! Can't forget the ritual of the sauna.

I am sure you are looking for recipes people have tried, but I found this in a recipe book called, "The Art of Creole Cookery." I got it from my Grandmother's library of recipe books. It was published in 1964.

The first transaction I worked on as a lawyer was the acquisition of the Sheboygan Sausage Company and it was my job to assemble the schedules to the purchase agreement. Although I don’t remember the particulars, one of the schedules was the recipe for headcheese. Welcome to Wisconsin!
