Here’s a recipe that the sausage lovers in your family are sure to rave about: an easy to fix, economical (and delicious) herb-flavored German oatmeal sausage!

From Pig …

Anyone who raises and slaughters his or her own hogs can prepare the pork for this recipe at home. Just save the tail, feet, head (minus the eyes), and any other edible leftover scraps from a butchered pig. Scrub the pieces of meat well and simmer ’em all day in a large pot. (Be sure to replace any water that steams away as the pork cooks.)

Let the boiled meat cool in the pot overnight and into the next afternoon, then pick the meat from the bones and run it through a meat grinder. (If you don’t raise hogs, you can substitute three pounds of unseasoned bulk pork sausage from the supermarket or butcher.)

… To Pan …

Chop two medium onions into fine pieces and cook them in three quarts of water until they’re tender. Then add the three pounds of ground boiled pork, about two teaspoons of salt (to taste), a little pepper, one-eighth teaspoon each of nutmeg and allspice, four teaspoons of summer savory (three teaspoons of sage will do if you don’t have savory), and 18 ounces (1 pound, 2 ounces) of non-instant rolled oats.
