Let's Get Started

- Rinse the pork casings under cold water and then soak them in warm water for 30 minutes to soften.
- Using a sausage stuffer, fill the pork casings with the blood mixture, tying off the ends to form sausages.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the blood sausages and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Remove the blood sausages from the pot and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Blutwurst can be enjoyed sliced and pan-fried, or served cold with bread and mustard.
