Kidney, Heart and Liver Sausage Split the kidneys and soak them in strong salt water, changing the water several times, then wash thoroughly and put them in a large kettle with the heart and liver, bits of pork rind, and scraps of lean pork. Cover with water and boil until tender. The liver must be lifted out after boiling 10 or 15 minutes, as it does not require such long boiling as the rest. When the meat is all tender run through a sausage grinder, season with salt, pepper and a little thyme, pack into crocks, and set the crocks on the back of the range until they are hot. This helps to pack the meat more solidly. Cover with melted lard and set away in a cool place. — [Mrs. E. S., 111. Mixed Sausage This can be made of almost any proportion of beef and pork one has when both are killed at once, but is nice made in the proportions of 2 lbs lean pork, 1 lb lean beef, and 1 lb fat pork.

It is better to use several small jars than one large one. — [Farmer's Wife, Col.
