Let's Get Started
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the veal, pork, ice water, salt, white pepper, nutmeg, ginger, mace, and parsley. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Prepare the natural casings by rinsing them thoroughly under cold water. Place one end of the casing on a sausage stuffer or sausage-making attachment.
- Stuff the casing with the meat mixture, making sure to fill it evenly and avoiding any air pockets. Twist the filled casing into individual sausages, about 4-5 inches in length.
- Bring a large pot of water to a gentle simmer. Carefully add the bockwurst sausages and cook for about 15 minutes, or until they are fully cooked and firm to the touch.
- Remove the bockwurst from the water and let them cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed on their own or served in a bun with mustard and sauerkraut.
