PHILADELPHIA SCRAPPLE

Steps:

• In a large pot, barely cover pork with water (not too much water) and cook on high until pork turns a grey color and is tender.
• Strain all the water out real well and set pork aside.
• Bring 1/2 of the stock (discarding other 1/2 of stock) to a boil and slowly add cornmeal, stirring to avoid lumps.
• Return meat to the cornmeal mixture and mix thoroughly.
• Continue to stir over medium heat for additional 30 minutes.
• Add all of the seasonings and again mix thoroughly.
• Pour into either loaf pans or loaf baking dishes and immediately chill in refrigerator.
• To serve, slice in 1/2 inch thick slices and fry in a skillet, being careful not to burn the scrapple.
• You may or may not wish to serve with ketchup on top of the individual slices.
• Scrapple is an excellent addition at your breakfast with eggs and fried potatoes.

A PENNSYLVANIA TREAT . . . GRILLED SCRAPPLE

Steps:

• Slice the pepper and onion, place on a cookie sheet lined with foil, and drizzle with olive oil. Turn oven on broil and roast the peppers until they just start to char, remove from heat, set aside.
• While you veggies are roasting, place 2 slices of scrapple in a fry pan, drizzled with some olive oil. Fry each side until nice and crispy. About 5 minutes on medium high heat.
• After the veggies and scrapple are done. Take two slices of bread, butter one side of each slice, place 2 slices of cheese on the side that isn't buttered on each slice, next add 1 slice of scrapple to each slice, and top with the roasted veggies, lettuce and the remaining cheese. Place the remaining slices of bread, with the butter side up, and fry in a pan on medium heat until each side is golden brown. This should take another 5 minutes or so.
• Note: If you can't get Pennsylvania Scrapple, ask your butcher or local grocery store if they have any scrapple. Some times it is sold in the lunchmeat aisle with the bacon.
• I apologize for the poor condition of the picture but it was the best out of 20, my camera has never recovered from the chili dunking it experienced and has fits now and then. It was a very good sammie though and filling!
