About Scrapple, pork

Scrapple is a savory breakfast loaf with deep Pennsylvania Dutch roots, made by simmering pork scraps and trimmings, then folding the meat and its broth together with cornmeal and flour and seasoning the mush with sage, black pepper, and other spices. Poured into a loaf pan and chilled until firm, it is sliced and pan-fried until the outside turns crisp and brown while the inside stays soft. Born of a thrifty, waste-nothing tradition of using every part of the pig, it endures as a beloved regional specialty of the Mid-Atlantic.

Scrapple is rich in protein and fairly high in fat and sodium, and it is usually served at breakfast alongside eggs, sometimes topped with syrup, apple butter, or ketchup. The trick to good scrapple is patience: let each slice build a genuinely crisp crust before you flip it, so it doesn't crumble apart. Keep it refrigerated and cook the slices until they are hot through and well browned.
