Directions: |
Directions:In large kettle boil together the pork butt and veal covered in water. Add salt and pepper to taste. Meat should boil until it falls apart.
Remove meat and grind together (messy job). Save the stock and strain it. Put the ground meat back in the stock in same kettle. Grind many onions and place in meat mixture. Simmer until bubbly and thick. (Doesn't take very long) Taste for seasoning. Pour into individual containers. Let set and spread on toast in the morning...yum!!!
NOTE: About 5 lbs pork butt, 1-2 lbs veal shank and 7 medium onions makes about 20 cups of head cheese. |

Notes: I made this and gave dad and mom some. They put it in the freezer and later went to use it but grabbed some old ground turkey or something and put that on toast. They thought it was "not quite right" but didn't want to tell me for fear of hurting my feelings! :) They later discovered their mistake and were happy with the real thing!!!!!
