OMG!!! Chris - my floor is all wet with mouth water by now... Have to reach out for my rubber boots!
That is some PREMIUM Salceson by the very looks. But you´re probably right that more broth would add to the mouthfeel.
How much salt do you add pr. kg ?
...no caraway ??
(weepie)
Did you ever try to add a decent splash of high quality wineager to the broth?

Hey Redzed that looks fantastic. I had been wondering how to apply cure as the next time I make a head cheese I want to use it. Now I know.
You made quite a bit - are you going to try freezing it?
Last time I made some souse I froze most of it before going on a trip, as I am the only one in my family who will eat it.
I had made it with a half head, and - lesson learned - should have tossed in a trotter - it was not quite firm enough for my liking. This semi-firm souse fell apart when I thawed it. Today I'm going to make chili verde out of it, and maybe I won't inform my family where the meat came from.
Anyway - I am curious as to whether you have had an success with freezing this product.

Thanks Igor and CW! The salceson is quite tasty and both are almost gone. My wife really likes the stuff, probably even more than me. She just has a mental thing about pork skins, so I chop them up quite fine and throw them into the mix and she does not even know they are there.
Next time I will stay with the lemon, make sure and add more broth and black pepper (And maybe caraway)
Igor, the last time I made salceson I did add some ordinary vinegar to it and it did taste good, but your suggestion about something of high quality is a good one. There are several nice vinegars in our pantry that my wife uses in salads, so I will try one or two of them.

Chris, those look interesting. But I'm not so sure I can get past the look. Never cared for dad's headcheese, either. At some point I know I'll need to broaden my horizon!

Jimbo, you don't know what you are missing!
Both are nearly gone, and they weighed nearly ten pounds!
