Boudin Blanc (White Sausages with Apples)
Print This Recipe
This is a traditional dish from Normandy, France, made with Calvados, an apple-flavored liqueur. If you don't have Calvados, substitute apple juice or apple cider with a splash of cooking sherry.
Adapted from a recipe in Victoria Magazine, October 1996
