Wash the pork casings thoroughly with cold water.

Grate one large onion and mix it with one cup of chicken broth using a stick blender or mini food processor.

In a bowl, combine 4 pounds of ground pork with the onion and chicken broth mixture.

Add the spices: 1 tablespoon of salt, 1.5 teaspoons of pepper, 1 teaspoon of allspice, and 0.25 teaspoon of ground cloves to the pork mixture.

Use a KitchenAid mixer with a grinder attachment and a sausage stuffer horn to stuff the sausage.

Slide the rinsed pork casings onto the horn of the sausage stuffer.

Tie a knot at the end of the casings to prevent the mixture from coming out.

Stuff the casings with the pork mixture, twisting them at intervals to create individual sausages.

Pre-cook the sausages like bratwurst before browning them in a skillet or grilling them for grill marks.
