I haven't made them yet either - at IHOP they serve them with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle nutmeg on top.

Oh, momma.......

O'siyo,
~ Here is a dish that is simple, filling and easy to make on those cool fall and winter morns or eves~ tongue.gif I make this on the first day I eat after fasting for 7 days~
~ Make your favourite pan bread/fried bread, I make whole wheat..
~Bake some apples, harvest apples..
~In a small saucepan warm: butter, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg..add blueberries, mix well...
~Tear off a piece of warm pan bread, pour mixture in a bowl and use for dippin' or pour mixture over bread..add a serving of apples on the side or again, pour them over the panbread! Any way you decide to eat this concoction it's delicious! I drink warm, plain tea to compliment the flavours!
~And it doesn't put a lot of 'strain' on the body after a healthy, fasting session! eat.gif The bread helps 'soak' up any acid that will build when you first eat/Apples will assist in the digestive process/Blueberries are a natural anti-oxidant/Butter & Honey coats the esophagus & stomach~ rolleyes.gif

Welp...since I haven't looked at the recipe in ages and I do it off the cuff anyway...I'll just shoot from the hip yet again. laugh.gif

Stuffed Pumpkin

1 pumpkin - roughly the size of a basketball.
1 medium onion, chopped.
2 c. rice (I use wild rice), cooked.
1/2 lb. loose sausage
1/2 lb. ground beef/buffalo/venison/what have you
bread crumbs
about three eggs
salt, pepper, seasoning to taste (I like sage, fennel, garlic, onion, red pepper and celery seed)

Clean the pumpkin like you would for a jack o'lantern. Keep the lid. Mix all the above meats together like you would for a meatloaf, except you...don't shape it into a loaf. Instead stuff the pumpkin with the mixture. Leave about an inch on the top to let it expand a little with cooking. Replace the lid. Place the pumpkin in a baking dish with about an inch of water in the bottom. Bake at 375 till you can easily poke a fork into the pumpkin (and it actually lets go). Remove from oven and let it cool about 20 minutes before serving. Remove lid. Serve in slices with butter, some like brown gravy with theirs.

That sounds fabulous! It also sounds a lot like what we had when I went to Trinidad. They called it "bake" and it was so great! I have been wondering about that recipe!

O'siyo Sekhmet,
~ This recipe is relatively simple and really delicious! wink.gif chef.gif

2 cups flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar (or less, if you prefer your bannock less sweet)
2 pinches salt
water, at room temperature
1. Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together.
2. Mix with enough water so that the mixture becomes a dough.
3. Form into 4-6 large, thick patties.
4. Fry on lightly oiled frying pan, turning when the bottom is golden.
5. (You may also bake in the oven.) Good served warm.
6. If desired, spread with honey, jam, butter, or peanut butter.
7. Traditionally bannock would have been made with whatever ingredients were on hand.
8. For example, adding blueberries if they're in season

P.S. Okay, I'll raise you Cherokee/Navajo and see your Mingo wine.gif

Yay! I've got frybread recipes to try out now. I haven't made it in years, and the one that I *did* have disappeared when we moved to this house. It very well could be that it never got unpacked. My husband's family makes something called "doughballs" that are similar, but not quite the same thing. For them it's an Amish dish (yes, my father in law's mother's side of the family were all Amish) that they do in the winter.

...hm...now to dig out the meat pie/bridie recipe for you guys...


Posted by: maryellen 13-Nov-2004, 07:59 PM

Talking about fry bread, here is the Panamanian version called Hojaldres. They are eaten normally for breakfast here. You can even buy them prepared in the store to take home and fry.

Translation follows:

HOJALDRES

INGREDIENTES:
2 3/4 tz. harina
1/4 tz. aceite
2/3 tz. leche o agua
1 1/2 ct. polvos de hornear
2 ct. sal
1 ct. azucar
3 tz. aceite
PROCEDIMENTOS
Una el aceite con la leche, sal y azucar. Agregue el polvo de hornear a la harina y luego les va agregando el liquido, poco a poco, uniendo con ayuda de tenedor. Deje reposar por una o dos horas. Estire porciones individuales y fria en aceite bien caliente. Reciba sobre plato que tenga papel absorbente. Puede rociar azucar granulada o en polvo por encima



HOJALDRES
INGREDIENTES:
2 3/4 cup wheat flour
1/4 cup. oil
2/3 cup milk or water
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp salt (I would cut this a little depending on your taste)
1 tsp sugar
3 cup oil (for frying)
PROCEDURE:
Mix oil with milk salt and sugar. Add the baking powder to the flour and then little by little add the liquid mixing with a fork. Let rest one to two hours. Form patties about one quarter inch thick, about four inches in diameter. Fry in hot oil until slightly browned. Collect over paper towels. Serve with powdered sugar or honey.

Smoked Beef Brisket with Sauerkraut and Dumplings
from Shadows


This recipe is a combination of cool smoking and good old Pennsylvania Dutch cooking! The smoke flavoring blends well with the kraut and the dumplings. It is one of my family's favorite fall meals.

INGREDIENTS:

2 tablespoons Carolina BBQ Rub
2 tablespoons butter or other fat
1 large onion, sliced
3 pound brisket of beef
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 quarts sauerkraut
For Dumplings:
2 cups flour
1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter milk

PREPARATION:

Rub the brisket with the Carolina BBQ Rub and let sit for 1 hour. Prepare smoker for a 2 hour smoke with cherry and maple woods. Smoke Brisket for 2 hours.
Melt butter in a large pan and brown onion slices.
Add brisket and sauerkraut. Cover with boiling water and put in the oven at a low temperature for 2 hours or until the meat is tender.

To prepare dumplings, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender or two knives cut in the butter. Quickly stir in enough milk to make a soft dough. On a floured surface, roll dough 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 12 squares. Put the squares on top of the simmering beef and kraut.

Cover tightly and simmer 20 minutes without removing the cover. Serve immediately.

This one is from Weber also:

Smoked Barbecued Turkey



Indirect/Medium


1 turkey, 11 to 13 pounds, fresh or defrosted
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 cups chicken stock
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
1 tablespoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon granulated garlic


3 handfuls hickory chips, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes



Remove the neck and giblets from the turkey cavity and reserve for another use. If your turkey has a metal or plastic trussing clamp, leave it in place. Lightly brush or spray the turkey all over with oil. Season the inside and outside generously with salt and pepper.

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, cook the chicken stock, butter, marjoram, thyme, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper until the butter has melted. Pour 1 cup of the chicken stock mixture into a small bowl. Draw the mixture in the bowl into a kitchen syringe. Inject the syringe into the drumsticks, thighs, and breast of the turkey, refilling the syringe each time. Pour the remaining 2 cups of the chicken stock mixture inside a heavy-duty roasting pan. Place the turkey, breast side up, on a roasting rack, and set inside the pan.

Follow the grill's instructions for using wood chips. Grill the turkey over Indirect Medium heat, using wood chips for the first 30 minutes. Check the turkey after the first hour. If any parts are getting too dark, wrap them tightly with aluminum foil. Check again after another hour and cover any dark areas with foil. The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 160°F in the breast and 170°F in the thickest part of the thigh, about 2-1/4 to 3 hours. Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and let rest for 20 to 30 minutes before carving (the internal temperatures will rise 5°F to 10°F during resting).

Makes 11 to 13 servings

This recipe requires a kitchen syringe.

This recipe is of Scottish origin:


FINE FLAVOUR TURKEY

Turkey presents three problems; the length of time needed to cook it; getting it to taste of anything; and preventing the white meat from drying out while cooking the dark meat thoroughly. This method solves all those problems but creates a new one; it involves cutting the turkey into four large pieces, which means you cannot present the bird in its traditional form at the table. However, it is easier to cut up and the major difference is that the results are extremely juicy and flavourful. Many families to whom this method has been shown now use it and children definitely prefer it. You should try it at least once.

Cut turkey into four large pieces, or have it cut at the market. The best cuts are:
(1.) Along the breastbone to separate in halves, then
(2.) Diagonally down and forward on each half, following the line of the breast meat to separate the breast from the leg part.
Follow your traditional turkey recipe, omitting salt, using the new times below and adjusting cooking times for accessory dishes, such as stuffing, vegetables, etc.
1 dressed turkey, 15 - 20 lb.
6 - 8 tbs. of salt, heaped



Two days before serving day, rub salt all over the pieces.
Let stand in a pan or tray in cool place, but not refrigerated for 30 hours.
On the serving day, wash turkey lightly with clear water.
Place turkey in deep pot with cold water to cover.
Boil tender turkey for 20 minutes; older turkey for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) Place turkey pieces in oven.
If using stuffing, add at same time. If not, consider Bread Sauce.
Roast at least 7 minutes per lb if turkey weighs less than 16 lb.
Roast at least 6 minutes per lb if turkey weighs more than 16 lb.
If cooking with a meat thermometer, turkey is ready when:
Breast registers 170°F (77°C).
Thigh registers 185°F (85°C).
Test by piercing with fork to see if juices run clear.
When done, remove from oven; cover loosely with towel or foil.
Let rest 15 minutes before carving.
If you wish to eat the turkey unroasted, it is equally good hot or cold and much juicier and more savoury than regular left-over turkey. Prepare it as follows:
Two days before serving day, rub salt all over the pieces.
Let stand in a pan or tray in cool place, but not refrigerated for 30 hours.
On the serving day, wash turkey lightly with clear water.
Place turkey in deep pot with cold water to cover.
Boil tender turkey for 40 minutes; older turkey for 60 minutes.
Serve sliced, hot or cold. Keep the boiling liquid for soup.

Venison with Leeks

Serves 4

1 1/2 pounds loin of venison, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2 inch wide strips
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup dry sherry
1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 large leeks(about 2 pounds), coarsely chopped
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

1. Marinate the venison in the ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, sherry, and oil for 1 hour. Drain. Reserve the marinade.

2. In a large nonstick saute pan, saute the venison over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Do this in batches if necessary in order not to overcrowd the pan. Transfer the meat to a bowl. Add the garlic and leeks to the pan. Saute, stirring, for 3 minutes, until the leek is softened. Add the reserved marinade, the chicken broth, and the tomato paste. Return the venison to the pan and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, until the liquid has reduced a bit and thickened. Add the cilantro and serve on a bed of mixed wild/regular rice.

This recipe is supposed to be of Mayan origin, but with the modern directions I will place it here instead of in the Native thread:

Pumpkin Soup
In early pumpkin soup recipes, the pumpkin would have been baked whole in hot ashes. Peeled and chopped pumpkin would then have been thinned with broth from wildfowl or game.

1 small pumpkin, about 12"
2 tbs palm oil
3 tbs honey
1/2 tsp ground allspice
4 c turkey broth
Salt to taste
Thinly sliced wild onions
Roasted pumpkin seeds, for garnish

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place pumpkin in a baking dish and roast until easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Allow pumpkin to cool, slice off top and scoop out seeds. Clean pumpkin fibers from seeds and discard. Toss seeds with oil and salt to taste. Spread out on a baking sheet and return to oven 15-20 minutes, until crisp and golden. Reserve for garnish.
Scrape the pumpkin flesh from shell and mash, or puree if a smoother mixture is desired. Place the pumpkin in a large saucepan and season with salt, honey and allspice. Gradually stir in enough broth to make soup with thin or thick consistency, as desired. Simmer over medium heat about 5 minutes, until hot. If desired, serve soup in small pumpkin or squash shells. Garnish with onions and pumpkin seeds.

Pumpkin chocolate chip muffins

from my dear friend Anita

1 2/3 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1 tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt

mix these ingredients in one bowl

In another bowl:

2 large eggs
1 c. canned pumpkin
1 stick melted butter

mix these together and then combine the ingredients from both bowls into one, mixing thoroughly.

Then add:

1 c. chocolate chip morsels (Anita says to put the whole bag in, though!) and stir into the batter.

Bake at 350 for 20 - 25 minutes.

Man are these the best!! They smell incredible and taste better. They could probably be made into a bundt of some sort as well as muffins, though I have never tried.

So it's autumn, and I was looking around for a recipe that would fit my mood...

I tripped over this recipe, and it's so ridiculously easy that I decided to try it. It's *wonderful*, I strongly suggest it:

Pumpkin and Peanut Soup

4 cups canned packed pumpkin
2 cups sweet potatoes or yams, cooked and mashed (I used canned yams)
1 cup creamy peanut butter
4 tablespoons butter
6 cups chicken stock/broth
salt & pepper to taste

Melt the butter, then add the pumpkin, sweet potato, and peanut butter. Mix thoroughly over medium heat till smooth. Slowly pour in the chicken stock, stirring all the while till it's all blended together. Add salt and pepper, allow to simmer 20 minutes, serve.

This stuff is *so* good...

This looks great.

About how many servings would you get using this as the main course?

Flora

Posted by: Sekhmet 18-Sep-2008, 06:30 PM
With regular sized soup bowls, we got about 8 servings out of this batch, but we tend to really fill bowls up...so I'll ballpark it to 8-10 servings.

"Beautiful Soup, so rich and gree-- er -- ORANGE,
Waiting in a hot tureen!
Who for such dainties would not stoop?
Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!
Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!

Beau--ootiful Soo-oop! Beau--ootiful Soo-oop! Soo--oop of the e--e--evening,
Beautiful, beautiful Soup!"

Oh, frabjous day, yummy, it's finally fall and time for a soup like this. The african soups that resemble this usually have some red pepper in the mix -- maybe serve the bottle of Chinese red hot oil on the side. Otherwise, I'd have this with a multigrain bread, some smooth cheese like a Gouda, and a rich dark beer around the fire while telling scary stories.

The party's at your house, Sekhmet.

I made only half the recipe and still had plenty for four. I did use crushed red pepper. Still my family thinks that if you can still feel your tongue, it is not hot enough. The red pepper oil might be just the thing for us.

I had sunflower bread along with a Mike's Hard Pomegranete Lemonade.

Letting a roasting chicken brine overnight in apple cider to have tomorrow.

Thanks again for the recipe, Sekhmet.

I don't know if I've posted this before -- I can't find it. Anyway, it's a favorite for this time of year, and Sekhmet's soup reminded me of it:

Autumn Equinox Soup
1 tablespoon peeled fresh ginger, cut in very thin strips
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tbsp. butter or oil
2 tbsp. flour
2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth, for vegetarians)
3-4 cups fresh cooked pumpkin (sieved), or canned
1 cup sweet red bell pepper, diced
salt to taste
a few drops of red Chinese hot oil and dark Chinese sesame oil
1 cup cream or evaporated milk


Sautée ginger and onion in butter or oil. Add flour and stir to cook flour; gradually add broth. Add all but sweet red peppers and cream/milk and cook, stirring, for 10 - 15 minutes. Add red peppers and cream/milk and heat through without boiling.

You can puree another half cup of sweet red peppers and add it to the pumpkin puree at the beginning – sweetens the broth, and adds a gorgeous color. But the other peppers are just warmed through at the end to keep them a little crunchy, for texture and pretty color. Can also garnish with thin rounds of sliced scallion, or toasted pumpkin or sesame seeds, and serve with a heavy, seeded multigrain bread and butter and some nice cheeses (e.g., edam, gouda or English cheddar), and new fall apples and grapes. A dark malty beer is good with this.

I made these today, a simple recipe, not much to it, kind of semi-homemade...

Apple Fritters
1 box (7oz) apple cinnamon muffin mix...I use JIFFY
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
I add 1/4 cup flour and a dash of cinnamon to mix
1/2 cup of diced apples
oil for frying
mix muffin mix, flour and cinnamon...add egg and milk. mix together and add apples.
These can be made in a deep fryer or a heavy pot , I use a cast iron chicken fryer with about 3 inches of oil. Heat oil until hot and drop a teaspoon of batter and cook until golden brown on both sides. Drain on wire rack with paper towels. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar to taste.

laugh.gif Hey, I'm just copying it word for word out of the book!! laugh.gif


I've used agate before and find it bakes evenly and takes less time to bake. Still, I'm with you, I would use the cast iron, if a recipe called for such.

As for the temperature, the book did not mention one but since we use to own a bakery back in the late 50's, early 60's, general rule would be to bake heavier grained cakes and breads at 400 and lighter cake mixes at 350. I would go with 400 on this recipe.

Posted by: flora 30-Sep-2008, 03:58 PM
This is vary similiar to cornbread. I cook it at 400 and use a cast iron skillet. Just make sure the cast iron is well seasoned so it will not stick.

Flora

Posted by: Shadows 30-Sep-2008, 04:12 PM
The name of this recipe indicates that it was cooked in a "spider" a cast iron pan with long legs used to span the coals without sitting right on them. I would imagine that any modern contrivance similar would suffice.

Thanks for sharing these recipes with us. I do have a question.

I have never had any expirence with chestnuts and I was trying to imagine the flavor of the chestnut soup. Can you help me with this?

Flora

Posted by: A Shrule Egan 04-Oct-2008, 02:06 PM
Obviously, it will have a nutty flavor but if you have never had such a thing, about the only thing I can compare it to, would be one of the stronger flavored squash. This recipe is a little bit of work but I think you will enjoy it. Something different that you don't get all the time and it is the season for it.

Posted by: A Shrule Egan 04-Oct-2008, 02:58 PM
Fall recipes tend to go with the Saturday and Sunday get togethers for football season. One way to put out some interesting snacks, is by making timbales stuffed with whatever you like.

First you need a timbale: http://www.amazon.com/Nordic-Ware-Swedish-Rosette-Timbale/dp/B00004RFPJ/ref=pd_sim_k_1


TIMBALE CASES OR FONTAGE CUPS


1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 egg yolk
cayenne
1/3 cup milk


Mix ingredients in order given until smooth, strain and let stand over night in a warm place. Heat timbale in hot oil, drain, dip in batter and place back into hot oil. Fry until a delicate brown. Remove from timbale, invert and let drain.


CHICKEN TIMBALES

2 cups raw chicken
1/4 cup bread crumbs-soft
1 cup beaten cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
few grains cayenne
4 egg whites beaten until stiff

Chop meat and press through sieve. Add remaining ingredients and fill buttered timbale molds which have been previously sprinkled with chopped pickles or olives. Bake in pan of hot water for 20 minutes. Remove and serve with hollandaise sauce or parmesan sauce.

Timbales can also be filled with any other foods that you wish.

These are lovely recipes. I am going to try the black bean puree and let you know. I'm really excited by the idea of clove in there as a flavoring -- I love clove, but I never thought of using it with beans. And yet I can imagine it, and it sounds great! The mustard, the clove, the lemon -- it sounds right, especially adding the smokiness of ham flavor, as you suggest. Is the mustard prepared mustard, or powder?

And could not be more timely -- this is an economic era coming on when all good cooks must learn to prepare beans to feed our loved ones not only well, but deliciously.

Since the cookbook was written in 1912, my guess would be the powdered version. I don't think either would be wrong, just need to adjust the taste to your liking.

When my kids were young, one Christmas my daughter wanted to try Chestnuts (roasting on an open fire). I bought some and used the oven. It was not long untill my daughter ran to the living room screaming. It seems they were going off like grenades. I was told later that they had too much moisture. My grandmother sat them to the side of the wood cook stove. I may try them again.

Recipe I found from Cooks.com, for Gaelic Coffee Cake. One of few recipes that doesn't involve liquor (I know, it's not Irish if it doesn't have whiskey...) but it's good if you live with people opposed to buying whiskey, even for cooking purposes.

GAELIC COFFEE CAKE

1 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter
2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. commercial sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla

Cream sugar and butter until light. Add eggs one at a time. Beat well. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream and vanilla. Spread in a greased 9 inch square pan. Sprinkle with topping. Bake at 350 degrees 45 to 50 minutes.

TOPPING:

1/2 c. chopped nuts
3 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

I also have a Scottish Lamb Stew recipe that I used at a dinner last year and everyone that tried it loved it... Unfortunately I seem to have 'misplaced' the recipe, I'll put it up here if I can find it.

I love mulled wine! They serve it at our Christmas markets and it's so good!

If it's getting cold outside and I'm coming back home I love to have a hot toddy at night. There are different variations of it, these are my two favorites:

HOT TODDY

1 ounces Whiskey
1 ounce Honey
ounce Lemon Juice
3 ounces Water (Hot)

If you have a microwave, the easiest way to make this drink is to warm the honey and lemon juice for about half a minute and then to add hot water and the whiskey.

Otherwise, you stir the honey and lemon juice into extremely warm water, allow it to cool slightly, and add the whiskey.


HOT TODDY

1/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup spiced rum
2 tablespoons honey
3 cups boiling water
4 cinnamon sticks
4 lemon slices


Spread sugar on small plate. Dip rims of mugs into cold water. Dip moistened rims of mugs into sugar. Mix rum and honey in 4-cup measuring cup. Add 3 cups boiling water; stir to blend. Divide hot toddy among prepared mugs. Garnish with cinnamon sticks and lemon slices and serve.

Enjoy!

This is a recipe I once found at About.com and t's very, very hearty and good! It's the season for savoy cabbage so you might also love it.

EMMENTALER AND SAVOY CABBAGE STUFFED POTATOS

T
Ingredients:

5 russet potatoes (about 3-3/4 pounds total), scrubbed clean 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 small heads Savoy cabbage (about 1 pound total), cored and thinly sliced
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) salted butter, softened and cut into small pieces
1/4 cup heavy cream, half-and-half, or milk
Salt and freshly ground pepper


Preparation:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

With the tines of a fork, poke a few holes in each potato. Place them in a baking pan and bake for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and set aside until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.

While the potatoes are baking, prepare the cabbage: In a large saute pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Add the cabbage, stir to coat with the butter, and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is wilted but still has some crunch, about 15 minutes. If the cabbage begins to brown, add a little water or chicken stock to the pan, stir, and cover once again. Set aside.

Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Into a mixing bowl, gently scoop out the potato flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell. Add the salted butter, 1 cup of the Emmentaler cheese, and the cream. Mix on medium-high speed or beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until the ingredients are blended and are smooth and creamy. Add salt and pepper to taste. If the mixture is not silky smooth, add a little more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Divide the potato mixture among 8 of the potato skins. (Save the remaining 2 skins for another use, or smear them with a little butter and salt for a tasty snack.) Gently spoon about 1/4 cup of the cabbage over the top of each potato. Distribute the remaining 1 cup cheese over the potatoes. (At this point, you can cover the potatoes with foil and refrigerate them for as long as 24 hours. Bring to room temperature before baking.)

Bake for 15 minutes or until heated through. Turn the oven to broil and finish the potatoes under the broiler, until the cheese is bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve hot.

Yield: 4 to 8 servings

Note: You may substitute Gruyere, Swiss, or Fontina for the Emmentaler cheese.

Luscious Three-Fruit Compote


1 Lemon
2 Cinnamon Sticks
1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
4 Plums, preferrably black
2 Cups Cherries or Strawberries, hulled
1/2 Cup Dried Apricots
2 Mint Tea Bags

Peel three (3) long strips from rind of lemon and combine in a large saucepan with cinnamon sticks, sugar and 1 1/2 Cups water. Place over medium-high heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Boil until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, quarter plums and pit cherries or quarter berries. When boiling mixture is reduced by half, add in fresh fruit and apricots. Simmer over medium heat, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until apricots are plumped and tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add tea bags. Let steep 2 minutes, then discard tea bags, lemon peel and cinnamon sticks. Compote will thicken as it cools.

Serve warm or at room temperature or chill and layer with yogurt or vanilla ice cream in glasses or bowls. Compote will keep well in the refrigerator, covered for up to a week.

Yep, it's been a while. Got a job at a local museum and my father just recently passed, so it's been a while since I've even had the time to look at anything else.

Glad to hear the pumpkin recipe gets some mileage! We had a *ton* of pumpkins uncut left in one of our barns at the museum last fall, and I started cooking them down and stuffing them. Director thought I was nuts. LOL

Posted by: Sekhmet 19-Aug-2010, 01:06 PM
Actually, you can serve turnips and red beets together. We put them in fairly thick slices (golden beets work like a champ too), lay them out on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil and simple salt & pepper, bake until done all the way through.

Ginger Cakes Williamsburg Style

Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ginger
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 cup unsulfered molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon extract
4+ cups of flour


Directions:
In a bowl cream everything together but the flour. Add one cup of flour at a time making sure it is well mixed. When you get to the 4th cup the batter should be like moist clay. You do not want it at all runny. If it's runny you will have ginger snaps. You should be able to make a shape and have it hold it's shape. It seriously should be like modeling clay. Continue to add flour a little at a time until you get clay type dough. Then make small balls of dough and press then onto a cookie sheet. Let them remain dome shaped.

Shadows I found that info on the pumpkin interesting. Would it solidify somewhat like pumpkin pie? If you have more details on this I would like to read them, it does sound tasty.
Thanks,
Skinner

I have not tried it yet, just putting the info out there.

Sorry I locked that thread, but it was taking a turn away from the topic.

It's 77* right now moving up to 89* but after Hurricane Matthew blew by, we will be getting some over night temps in the upper 60's...fall enough for me. Since I have some fresh ground venison, compliments of my neighbor, I decided to make one of my favorite Fall dishes of venison chili. There are numerous recipes for chili and I make several myself from Texas Red with shredded beef and "No Beans Please" to white chilies with pork or chicken and a few in between. Some like their chili thin and soupy while others prefer a thicker, chunkier style...me, I like them all. The method you use to thicken is entirely up to you...your chili, your preference. You can simmer and cool a couple of times to evaporate or use corn starch or arrowroot mixed with a little water, shredded cheese, tomato paste, instant potato flakes or a roux. I used to take my chili so hot that I would sweat just thinking about eating it but I know that's not for everyone and I have mellowed somewhat in the last few years, so, I will leave the amount of spices up to you...Here's my Fall Venison Chili:

1 pound fresh ground venison
4 oz. bacon fat
1 tbl. butter
1 15 oz. can of black beans
1 10oz can Ro-Tel chili fixin's with seasoned diced tomatoes and green chilis
cayenne pepper
chili powder
paprika
cumin
garlic powder
Cholula hot sauce
Frank's Red Hot original
Salt & Pepper

1 into a medium hot pot dice the bacon fat and then add the butter
2 turn up the heat and add the venison, brown and S&P to taste
3 add your spices, stir and simmer
4 add Ro-Tel, stir and bring up tp heat
5 add black beans, stir and bring up to heat
6 add Cholula and Frank's, stir and reduce to a simmer
7 after 15 min. turn off and let cool
8 reheat to serve, dish it out and add a handful of
shredded Colby-Jack or Cheddar cheese and a chunk
of a baguette...
