Scrapple Recipe needed please

[breezy]

I got my father in laws name for Christmas this year. I remember him talking about how much he liked scrapple. Does anyone have a great recipe so that I can make it for him for Christmas?

Ive never eaten scrapple so I dont know what constitutes good or bad scrapple. In fact I had never even heard of it till my father in law talked about it.

thanks for the links...of the 3 you posted which do you think comes closest to the scrapple you know? I think the one labeled Philadelphia scrapple sounds pretty tasty. The first recipe that was posted by chickabator sounds like it would be good if I substituted cooked rice for the cornmeal . I know that wouldnt make scrapple more of a casserole but I think it would make a tasty breakfast side dish that way in its own right.

You can buy cans of it already made..is that the kind he is used to? or homemade?

I think the easiest come in a dietz and watson package.

I think he was used to homemade. I have seen it occasionally in the stores here but I wanted to make it for him since its a Christmas gift. Its not readily available here I think its a regional thing.
