The Recipe
You will need
- the pig’s blood on day of killing
- one pint cold water
- a little salt
- onions
- mixed herbs
- a little oatmeal
- pig’s small intestine
- a little fat off the small intestine
Method
- Pour the blood into a large bowl while warm and stir constantly until cold to avoid clotting.
- Then dilute with a pint of water, add a little salt and allow to stand overnight.
- Wash the intestine thoroughly, inside and out, and put in salt water overnight.
- Chop the onions, coat them and the pieces of fat with oatmeal, season with herbs and stir into the blood.
- Work this mixture into the small intestine, secure with string at both ends, allowing for expansion during boiling.
- Boil the pudding in water for about half an hour and then hang to dry in a suitable place.
- Slice, when needed, and fry with bacon.
