SWEDISH KORV 
8 lbs. lean pork
4 lbs. lean beef
6 lbs. potatoes, ground
1 c. onions, ground
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. allspice
3 tbsp. salt

Grind all the meat together twice, then mix in with the other ingredients. Pack in casing and simmer about 1/2 hour. Prick sausage before boiling to eliminate air bubbles. If you want to freeze the sausage, do not boil, but freeze after stuffing and then, when ready to use, put in cold water and let them simmer. Remove sausage from the water and fry.

Traditional Christmas all my life included Korv. Most people non accustomed to it like it better cold as an appetizer. We'd have it Christmas Eve hot and then on New Years Day cold.

Just borrowed a friend's sausage maker and I'm dying to try this recipe! I haven't had korv since I left my hometown (and, subsequently, hometown butcher) nearly 2 decades ago. Thanks for sharing what looks to be a great recipe!

I haven't tried it yet, however, i will. My mom use to make it for Christmas Eve and serve it with potatoes and turnips. I loved it, that was 50 years ago

Good Golly! Here some 50 yrs later I found this site..

So glad to find this as a Child (raised in N.C). I went to see some of the family in Hibbing Minn. and got my first taste of this Traditional Treat as my Family are Finnish. Of course Dark Beer had to be tasted also along with many other unusual Traditions... Polkas.

This brings back so many great Memories.
Can hardly wait to make this treat!

Christmas Eve was a time for all of the family in Southeast Idaho to gather for a 'Smorgasboard' and a visit from St Nick. My Grandparents always made fresh Korv for the event. For 50 years it's been just a fond memory, until this year. Thanks to those who kept this recipe alive. A new family tradition is about to be born.
