Okay all the redbeet egg talk got me to thinking...does anyone have a good scrapple recipe? I love it fried with ketchup.

Never tried it but ran into it after I read your post. I didn't know what scrapple was! :)

I thought scrapple was what's been happening at Country Families.

i have made this quite often in the past, but could not find the recipe. I know I substituted things, like SAUAGE instead of headcheese. etc el.

tastes great with homemade applebutter.

Scrapple in a crockpot?????????????????

Yup, I'll try to find the recipe for you disbelievers. REAL easy to do/make. HAH. And all you thought I could do was sing...

I thought that scrapple was made from leftover scraps of ham or pork. I think my mother cooked the meat before stirring into and cooking it some more with the mush and prior to pouring it into loaf pans and refrigerating. I personally like scrapple sliced about 3/8 thick and fried in bacon grease until it is crispy real crispy and here is the topper. Cook up a patch of original oatmeal when it is finished cooking turn of the heat and add sugar until it is shinny then pour in heavy cream or carnation evaporated milk until it is creamy. Pour the oatmeal over the top of a couple of slices of the crispy scrapple and thems eats. My sisters would always call my mother before they came to visit to make sure she had scrapple in the fridge, and this is the way they ate it also.
