Ours is prepared to a traditional German recipe right here in the USA and shipped fresh from our New Jersey warehouse, so you get authentic German flavor without the wait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Knockwurst?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnockwurst is a short, thick German sausage, typically made from a finely ground blend of pork and beef and seasoned with garlic and traditional spices. The name comes from the German \u003cem\u003eknacken\u003c\/em\u003e — \"to crack\" or \"snap\" — describing the audible pop of the firm casing when you bite in. It's a close cousin of the frankfurter, but shorter, plumper, and more robustly seasoned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in Our Knockwurst?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOurs is a fully cooked, uncured blend of \u003cstrong\u003epork and beef\u003c\/strong\u003e, seasoned much like our frankfurters. Each pack contains four sausages in an approximately 1 lb package, made by The Alpine Inc to a traditional German recipe in the USA. We use high-pressure processing (HPP) — cold water under high pressure — to extend shelf life naturally, without added preservatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKnockwurst vs. Knackwurst — What's the Difference?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEssentially none — they're the same sausage. \u003cstrong\u003eKnackwurst\u003c\/strong\u003e is the traditional German spelling, while \u003cstrong\u003eknockwurst\u003c\/strong\u003e is the Americanized version you'll see in US delis. Either way, you're getting the same garlicky, snappy pork-and-beef sausage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Cook Knockwurst\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause our knockwurst is fully cooked, you're simply heating it through. Simmer gently in hot (not boiling) water for 8–10 minutes, or pan-fry, grill, or griddle until browned and hot all the way through. Serve in a roll with mustard and sauerkraut, or alongside potato salad for a classic German plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePack of 4 fully cooked, uncured knockwurst (Knackwurst)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePork and beef, seasoned similar to our frankfurters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApprox. 1 lb package, 4 sausages per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade by The Alpine Inc to a traditional German recipe in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-pressure processing (HPP) for naturally extended shelf life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlease refrigerate or freeze immediately on delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Alpine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49390132756775,"sku":"ALP0009","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2709\/5335\/files\/Knackwurst-Pack-of-4-1.png?v=1757669432","url":"https:\/\/laghts4fun.com\/products\/knockwurst-pack-of-4","provider":"One Stop German Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
