Longganisa Dugo (Blood Sausage)

This is a recipe of a blood sausage or longanisang dugo. It is a sausage made from ground pork, fat and pork blood and of course some spices, flavorings and preservative. It is not as popular as the pork longanisa which only uses ground pork maybe because we already have the pork dinuguan dish which is a popular Filipino blood stew dish.

4. Poach the sausages in simmering water for 3 minutes then remove at once.
5. Hang the sausages to dry in the kitchen or in a dry storage area away from flies or rodents.
6. To serve, fry the sausages in hot oil until crisp and browned or grill over hot coals. Makes 25
