I'd like to try to create a reaction to use blood in barrels, as you would get from the caravan. Blood sausage is a fairly common food in many cultures so I'd really like to do something like that. I'm not clear on where to start though. I'm a fair hand at reactions but do I need to make a new material to do this? How do I make the product of my reaction edible?
Here's a skeleton of what I had in mind...
[REACTION:MAKE_BLOOD_SAUSAGE]
[NAME:make blood sausage]
[BUILDING:KITCHEN:NONE]
[REAGENT:blood:150:LIQUID_MISC:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[HAS_MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:RENDER_BLOOD]
[REAGENT:blood container:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[CONTAINS:blood]
[PRESERVE_REAGENT]
[DOES_NOT_DETERMINE_PRODUCT_AMOUNT]
[PRODUCT:100:1:GLOB:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:blood:RENDER_BLOOD]
[SKILL:COOK]
[AUTOMATIC]
This is basically a mashup of RENDER_FAT and this post

I'd presume I'd need to put something into blood similar to the RENDER_MAT tag in the RENDER FAT reaction has in the FAT material e.g. an equivalent of [MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:RENDER_MAT:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:TALLOW] but for my blood sausage.
I'm just not sure what the last bits are to put this together. Thanks for any help you can give!
edit: changed the amount of liquid to a reasonable number instead of 1.
