How to Make German Homemade Bockwurst

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine the ground veal and pork.
  2. Add salt, black pepper, white pepper, nutmeg, marjoram, and caraway seeds (if using). Mix well but avoid overmixing.
  3. Gradually incorporate the ice water, mixing until the meat mixture is just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the sausage tough.
  4. Prepare your sausage stuffer. If using natural casings, soak them in warm water for at least 20 minutes to soften.
  5. Stuff the meat mixture into the prepared casings, leaving a small space at the end.
  6. Twist the casings to create individual sausages of approximately 4-5 inches in length.
  7. Prick the sausages several times with a needle to prevent bursting during cooking.
  8. Boil the sausages in simmering water for 60-75 minutes, or until cooked through. You can also poach them in a slow simmer to ensure even cooking.
  9. Remove the sausages from the water and let cool slightly. The sausages can be grilled, pan-fried, or served immediately.
  10. Serve and enjoy your homemade German Bockwurst! They are delicious on their own, in sandwiches, or as part of a larger meal.
