Prepare casings by rinsing them under cold water and soaking in salt water for 30 minutes.

Mix pork blood, chopped pork fat, and diced pork meat in a large bowl.

Add cooked barley, finely chopped onions, and minced garlic to the mixture.

Season with salt, pepper, thyme, nutmeg, and sugar; mix well until combined.

Fill the casings with the mixture, ensuring not to overstuff them.

Tie off the ends of the filled casings securely with kitchen twine.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

Gently place the sausages in the simmering water and cook for 30-40 minutes until firm.

Remove the sausages from the water and let cool slightly before slicing.

Heat lard in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the sliced sausages until crispy and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
