Instructions

  1. Start boiling water in a large pot, ensuring enough to cover the cased liverwurst by 2-3 inches.

  2. Grind liver, pork butt, and pork fat individually through a fine blade, then combine and grind them together once more.

  3. Incorporate onion, powdered dry milk, white pepper, salt, paprika, sugar, marjoram, coriander, mace, allspice, and cardamom into the ground meat by hand.

  4. Process the mixture through the fine grinder blade two additional times, chilling for 30 minutes between each grinding session.

  5. Pack the mixture firmly into a muslin casing and secure the open end.

  6. Submerge the cased liverwurst in the boiling water, using a weight to keep it submerged. Reduce heat to a bare simmer and cook for 3 hours.

  7. Replace the hot water with an equal amount of ice water and allow the liverwurst to cool completely.

  8. Chill the liverwurst in the refrigerator overnight, then remove the casing.
