Stitch or twist tie the opening closed securley. Boil enough water to cover the liverwurst by 2-3". Submerge and weight the liverwurst to keep it under the water. Return to boiling; reduce heat to barely simmering and cook for three hours. Drain hot water and replace with ice water. When cool, refrigerate overnight and remove from muslin casing.
