Recipe - Haggis (Scotch-Canadian)

2 One half pound Pork fat or salt pork
1 pound Pork liver; approx 3 lb
1 One half cup Rolled oats
2 teaspoon Salt
One half teaspoon Pepper

This New Brunswick recipe reflects a change in the traditional haggis a
change which recent Scottish arrivals consider akin to sacrilege.
Directions: Grease a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Cut Pork fat in cubes and fry out
the fat from the pork or salt pork fat. Pour off the grease as it
accumulates. When the pieces are golden brown and crisp they are called
"crackin's in Ontario, or "Kips" in the Maritimes. Drain well. Cool. Wash
the pork liver and place in a large pot. Cover with boiling water and boil
for about 1 hour, or until a fork can easily be inserted. Remove liver and
allow to cool. Reserve liquid. Put cooled liver and 2 cups of cracklin's
through the food grinder. Mix together. Stir in the oats, salt and pepper.
Add sufficient cooking liquid to hold mixture together. Press into prepared
loaf pan, cover with waxed paper and foil. Steam for 1 hour. Cool. To
Serve, slice One half inch thick and pan fry until golden brown on both sides.
Serve piping hot.
