Ingredients:

• 500g minced veal
• 250g pork back bacon, finely chopped
• 100g crushed ice
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon white pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground mace
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• Natural pork casings (optional)
• Water, for poaching

Instructions:

1- Soak natural pork casings in cold water for at least 30 minutes, or according to package instructions, to soften them.

2- In a large mixing bowl, combine minced veal, chopped pork back bacon, crushed ice, finely chopped onion, salt, white pepper, ground mace, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and chopped parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

3- If using casings, rinse them under cold water to remove excess salt. Then, carefully thread one end of the casing onto a sausage stuffer or funnel attachment.

4- Stuff the sausage mixture into the casing, ensuring it is evenly filled and avoiding air pockets. Twist the sausage into links of desired length (typically about 10-12 cm long). Alternatively, if not using casings, shape the mixture into sausage-like logs.

5- Once all the sausages are formed, bring a large pot of water to a gentle simmer, but not boiling.

6- Carefully add the sausages to the simmering water, ensuring they are fully submerged. Poach the sausages for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

7- Remove the sausages from the poaching water and let them cool slightly before serving.

8- Serve the Weisswurst with freshly baked pretzels, sweet mustard, and a cold glass of Weissbier for an authentic Bavarian experience.

Enjoy your homemade Germany Weisswurst, rich in flavor and tradition! Guten Appetit!
