Träipen is made from a mixture of pork blood, pork fat, onions, and various spices. The mixture is then stuffed into a casing, traditionally made from the intestines of the pig, and boiled. The sausage is then typically fried before serving.
The dish is often served with apple sauce, potatoes, or sauerkraut. It is a popular dish during the winter months, particularly around Christmas and New Year's Eve.

As with other types of blood sausage, Träipen is high in protein and iron, but also high in fat and cholesterol. It is recommended to consume this dish in moderation, especially for individuals with heart disease or high cholesterol.
