Head cheese recipe wanted

[BigNick73]

After seeing the real coonass food thread raised from the dead I want some head cheese. Problem is no one sells it up here much less knows what it is so got some recipes? Anyway to can the stuff? And I won't be able to get a head easily (real lack of any form of meat market here) so will be using shoulder/boston butt, whatever pork and on sale.

I have the recipe, somewhere. Boston Butts and pork skins are the only "animal parts" used.

If you want some home grown real deal, Treitler's (sp) formerly from the parish is in my area, he gets $6/lb or apx $20 for a 3lb loaf pan hot or mild. Not sure what FedEx charges for overnight to COL for 3pds but I'll be happy to do the hook up if your interested. I often bring it to work at least once a month.

Bourgeois Meat Market , Thibodeaux,La. Best hog head cheese and their turkey head cheese is even better. I prefer the hot. They also have excellent beef jerky. (985) 447-7128. I get my deer meat processed there also.

Thanks for the offer but I'm gonna try and make some, fed ex overnight from MS to CO for 3 lbs is like $50 according to the rate charts, that would be some expensive ass head cheese!

Reason I asked big nick is im flying into Denver later today and I've got some hawg head cheese from Jerry Lee's I wouldn't mind giving you a few pounds if your within the vicinity.

Thanks but I'm on the western slope and on hitch to boot. It's about a 4 hour drive that I hate making though it is senic this time of year.

Tried it, amazingly I found some pig feet at the one and only meat market within 60+miles, doubled up the pig feet added a bunch of garlic and jalapenos, turned out pretty good. There's a local place selling peach and jalapeno jam that goes pretty good with it too.
