Directions

Black pudding (blood sausage) is always served with an Irish "fry." These days the home preparation of black pudding may be impractical due to the challenges of procuring fresh pig's blood and suitable casings.

Stew the liver in boiling salted water until tender. Remove the liver, and mince (finely chop).

Reserve cooking liquid. Mix all ingredients in large bowl, stirring until thoroughly blended.

Fill casings with the mixture. Tie off in one-foot loops.

Steam for 4 to 5 hours. Leave until cold.

Cut into ½ inch slices as required and fry in hot fat on both sides until crisped.

Serve as desired with streaky bacon, fried egg, baked beans, etc.

how do i prepare it without the casing? just can't afford a machine and hard to find dry intestines here.

Maybe attempt to wrap in cheesecloth? Or other steam-able casing/dish/container?

I’m American and I like black pudding. If you looked at what goes into mist of the food you purchase at the grocery store you probably wouldn’t eat half of it. Black pudding is better for you than the high fructose corn syrup that are in a great many American foods.

Pigs blood? Wow!

anonymous

How many servings is 8? How many pounds does this make???

anonymous

Yum!

I have a farm that will save back pigs blood and freeze immediately. Will freshly frozen pigs blood work?

Stephen   

Yes I use frozen all the tjme

anonymous

Above. ‘‘Tis not ideal. I think the blood would curdle.

anonymous   Norway

The blood does not curdle unless you cook it before freezing. We are in Norway and the only blood you can find easily is frozen and it works just fine if you thaw it.

anonymous United States

Sounds a lot like blood sausage that the Portugese make.

anonymous

this is realy gross

anonymous

This doesn't seem that bad, y'all are just babies :((

*Really

I have had this and it is one of my favorite breakfast foods! I wish restaurants would make it here in the US.

anonymous

I made Lancashire black pudding in Australia and could only get frozen pig’s blood which is definitely not ideal but it turned out very good and even converted people who previously did not like it 25

anonymous United States

Delicious treat! Stewardship from tail to snout.

anonymous United States

Nom nom nom. l grew up on it in the long ago, and still eat it daily when l'm home.

anonymous

my favourite !!!! delicious. Stir in some soaked pearl barley. Planty of black pepper.

anonymous United States

While steaming all of the sausages broke do you have any suggestions for the next time I make these.

anonymous United States

Is 120 oz pig's blood is three and a half cups? If so, that seems like a small amount next to 2 pounds of bread crumbs. Anyways, my bp came out very dry. I am thinking too much in the way of bread crumbs.

Rebecca Brown   

There are 8 ozs in a cup
120 ozs divided by 8 = 15 cups
3 1/2 cups = 28 ozs

Black pudding bangers and back bacon! ‘Em Em Em

Just traveled to Ireland. I fell in love with Black Pudding. I ate it every day I was on that beautiful Island. I must find a way to get pigs blood here in the states.

VC

My mother and I recently took a trip to Ireland. I never thought in a million years that I would ever eat, much less like anything of the sort. But it was actually delicious with no hint of blood or an Irony or metallic tast. I'm sold!!! Loved it!! Delicious!!! Now I am trying to find all the ingredients and recipes to make both white and black pudding!!!

Judi

When I was a kid at our sheep and cattle ranch in Oregon, my Auntie Mary made black pudding. Can you use other kinds of blood?

anonymous   United States

I just got back from Ireland. I was so co. Mayo, Achill Island and had my first ever blood pudding with my breakfast. They even give you some brown sauce you can put on. When I asked the waitress what type of blood they use on their blood sausage, she stated sheep's blood. Either way, it was very good!
