Instructions

  1. In a larger saucepan, make a stock of water, vinegar, the peeled onions, bay leaves, mustard seeds, peppercorns, juniper berries, salt and sugar. Cook the meat in the broth for about 2 hours until it is cooked through. Then take it out of the pot and cut into larger pieces.
  2. Pour the brew through a sieve and pour it back into the pot. Add the meat again and let it steep for a few minutes at a low temperature. Remove the pieces of meat with a slotted spoon and place in an appropriately sized bowl.
  3. Stir the instant gelatine into the stock with a whisk. Then pour the stock over the meat until it is well covered. Then let it cool down.
  4. After a day in the refrigerator, the sour meat is ready to be eaten.
  5. It is best eaten with fried potatoes or black bread.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
