  • 1 kg minced pork
  • 1 large onion(s)
  • 1 tsp mace or nutmeg
  • 1 tsp marjoram
  • 5 juniper berries
  • 1 tbsp, heaped salt

  • 100 g ice cubes

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 20 minutes

from the Untereichsfeld

Preheat the oven to 180°C so that it’s still at least 160°C after opening and inserting the loaf pan. Then, after inserting the pan, reduce the temperature to 160°C. Chop the very fresh liver and onion into small pieces. Blend the spices, schnapps, ice cubes, and half of the minced meat in a food processor or bowl. Mix in the other half of the minced meat. Fill one large or two small loaf pans to about 3 cm below the rim—the dough will rise—and bake at 160°C for about 1 hour.
