Today I’m going to show you how to make a Bratwurstsülze yourself. It’s simple and super quick to make.
The Bratwurstsülze is a nice change from the classic Sülze. It is perfect for a snack or as a dinner.
The only ingredients I use are onions and parsley in addition to the Franconian bratwurst. Optionally, you can also add carrots or bell peppers. It’s up to you.
In the post I use Bloom 240 aspic powder, but you can also cook out pigs feet and pork shank. These cuts have a lot of collagen. This makes the aspic firm on its own after cooling. You can find instructions for this in my german Süzle recipe.
Here you can find the complete Bratwurstsülze recipe as a video or to read through.
Have fun and good luck making it!

8. Add the aspic powder to the liquid and mix well. If the aspic powder has not dissolved, you can reheat the liquid. However, the broth with the aspic should not boil anymore. The amount depends on which aspic powder you use. The final aspic should be firm to the touch.

How long is the shelf life of the Bratwurstsülze?
Your Bratwurstsülze will keep for 3 days in the refrigerator. Unfortunately, you cannot freeze it. When thawing, the aspic would lose its binding and it would fall apart. Alternatively, you can preserve it in jars.
