Have smoked scrapple before, came out really good. I smoked a pound package, let it sit in the fridge for a few days wrapped up, then fried it up for Sunday breakfast. I thought it was great, the other half didn't. Too bad for her.
 
No pics.....didn't happen!

I do love scrapple. I like to make scrapple hash - throw a slice on a flat top, saute up some dices onion,,, chop up the scrapple, mix in the onions, throw in a scrambled egg or two, top it all off with a little cheese... put the whole thing on a roll - yum.

Jeanie, I'll dig up the bacon recipe that was brought over from Hungary by my grandfather, lots of celery powder,Hungarian hot paprika and other spices. Also the gyulai (Hungarian sausage) recipe. You guys are the best here, I feel more at home every day.

John it sounds wonderful!  I bet that the bacon and sausage are really killer.

Bear, I haven't been to Zern's in years, I didn't know they were still around. I used to go to the car auction back in the day when "Dopey Duncan" was still around.


Yup--Zern's is still there!

I used to get Smoked Pork Chops, Dried Beef, Bacon, & Beef Sticks there----LOL---We all know why I stopped doing that.

Bear
 
Well Jeanie, here is the bacon recipe, I have to get it translated---

ez ahogy en emlekszem ra hogy hogyan szoktuk csinalni

You can eat it cold sliced or put it on a stick over the campfire till the fat starts to render and let it drip onto some good hearty rye or black bread and wash it down with dark beer or muscatel wine.

Ain't this something--best I am able to do with this
 John it sounds wonderful!! I belong to a Dutch forum and am getting pretty good at translating things. lol  (accept for the time I described cooking an old boot. lol ) 

Thank you so much... your recipe sounds delicious!

50 pounds lard (pig)
Kanal 8-10 pyro peppers (hot peppers tablespoons)
Kanal 5 caraway seed (tablespoons)
Baber level 10-15 (bay leaves)
3 heads of garlic (heads of Garlic)
1 small package sellery poder (celery powder)
a small bottle of pepper spice
1 / 2 pound mustard seed (mustard seed)
5 pound so (salt), mixed and put in the autumn of fat and keep it for 3-4 weeks
taken out after him to leave for a day to drain
cold-smoke slowly try to smoke in lower doses because I am not 100% about this,
good luck
