 Scrapple
 
  3       	cup                 	pork organ meat or trimmings       
                                        - cooked and ground                  
  3       	cup                 	water                              
  2       	cup                 	cornmeal                           
  1       	tablespoon          	crushed hot red pepper             
  1       	tablespoon          	sage                               
  1       	teaspoon            	thyme                              
  1       	tablespoon          	salt, more or less                 
  2       	teaspoon            	pepper                             
 
 Bring the water to a boil. Add pork and simmer 5 min. Add cornmeal         
 and stir until smooth. Add rest of ingredients (you may want to            
 halve everything but the sage - but I like a very spicy scrapple)          
 and cook over low heat (I used the oven, actually) until very thick,       
 stirring once in awhile so it doesn't scorch.                              
                                                                            
 Turn out into a greased casserole and chill. When it's cold, slice         
 into 1/3 to 1/2" slices and fry in a little oil or fat over low            
 heat until crispy on both sides, turning once. I used rendered             
 suet to fry it once, and it was GREAT! but the next time I decided 
 to be a good boy and fried it on a Pam-sprayed skillet, and it was okay.
