- I got this recipe from Marcia Adam's TV cooking show "Cooking from
- Quilt Country". It is an Amish recipe from the Amish community in
- Indiana. For anyone who has not seen this show, all her recipes
- are Amish, Mennonite, or Dunkard recipes, mostly from Indiana. The
- food she prepares is always wholesome and hearty country food, my
- favorite kind.
-
- SCRAPPLE
-
- 6 country-style spareribs
- 2 qts water
- 2 t. salt
- 16 peppercorns
- bay leaves (2 or 3)
- 1/2 t. sage
- 1/4 t. marjoram
- 1/8 t. mace
- braunsweiger (couple of slices, finely chopped) (Don't ask me!
- That's what she said!)
- 1 1/2 c. cornmeal
- 1/4 c. buckwheat flour
-
- Simmer ribs with next 4 ingredients over med. heat for 2 hours
- until tender. Remove meat. Let cool and remove meat from bones.
- Chop meat. Chill meat and broth overnight. Next day degrease
- broth. Take 1 qt. broth, add meat (pork and braunsweiger), and
- bring to boil. Add next 4 ingredients. Gradually add
- cornmeal/buckwheat mixture to boiling broth, whisking constantly.
- Cover and cook 30 min. Pour into a greased loaf pan. Chill
- overnight. To serve, unmold loaf, slice about 1/3" thick and fry
- over med. high heat until well-browned and crisp on both sides.
- Serve with maple syrup or tomato gravy (recipe follows).

- Here is another of Marcia Adam's great Amish recipes - Tomato
- Gravy. This goes wonderfully with fried scrapple. This
- combination is to DIE for!
