FResh haggis...

[llyd]

haggis is basically a cooked sausage tempered with oats...simmer your organ meats until done, reserve the broth, grind your gnasty bits through a coarse plate, add spices according to your recipe (I just sort of made mine up..been making sausage awhile..) then grind through a fine plate and mix well. heat the broth in a pan, might have to add some water, add oats, and the meat and a finely minced onion to the whole hot mess, and heat through until the liquid is absorbed, pack this into impermeable casings and simmer in a water bath until a temp of 170 degrees F is achieved...can be vac packed and frozen, but is best used fresh.
really, I believe to freeze this stuff, you ought to make the meat mixture and omit the oat meal...then make a pan of oats and mix in the meat...would likely work better.

Thanks, all, for the links and tips!

Part of the reason I'd like to make my own is a bad experience with a frozen haggis. I may just give it a shot this weekend. Thanks again!
