Directions:
Directions:
Cook veal and pork roast in large stock pot covered in water, onion, bay leaves and salt. (1 T.)
Remove veal and pork and hold in a pan while lining loaf pans with cheesecloth. Crisscross so lifting out of loaf pans is easy. Alternating between pork and veal and fat, layer in cheesecloth while sprinkling each layer with a little allspice, salt and pepper. Fill loaf pans to the top and cover well with cheesecloth. Set weights on top and refrigerate overnight. Most fat should drain off or settle into cheesecloth. Unwrap sulta, slice and serve cold. If brine is desired:
1 c water
2/3 c vinegar
1 bay leaf
5 peppercorns
Let a few slices soak in this for a few hours before serving.
