Recipe ingredients and directions:
BOERWORS
Three parts pork minced with 2 parts bacon fat are seasoned with
pepper, salt, nutmeg, and coriander. After being moistened with
vinegar, the ingredients are well mixed and allowed to stand for
two hours before being filled into hog casings.
This is the recipe that I found at the library. I’ve made it twice
now, and I find that you can cut the bacon fat down to one part.
(I make a bunch at once, so my proportions are generally 3 pounds
pork to 1 pound bacon fat. I grind all of this together and then
add the seasonings and vinegar (I like malt vinegar best in this).
Proportions of the seasonings are hit and miss. I add a bit (Like
2 tbs each) and then fry up a patty to see how it tastes. Then I
add more accordingly. My South African In-Laws loved this recipe!
