Reader of souls, vision seeker, TROLL Group: Super Moderator Posts: 4,792 Joined: 20-Jun-2003 Zodiac: Holly Realm: The frontier of Penn's Woods	I will start with this one: Recipe Name: WAS-NAH CORN AND CHERRY SNACK Category: 18TH CENTURY Serves: 6 SOURCE FRUGAL GORMET - modified by SHADOWS 2 cups cornmeal 1 cup seeded Bing cherries 1/2 pound soft butter 2 cups brown sugar Place the cornmeal on a cookie sheet and toast in a 325� oven until it begins to brown. Careful - this will not take long. Drain the cherries well and chop coarsely. Mix all ingredients together well and chill in refrigerator. To serve, simply dish out by the tablespoonful. It is eaten like candy. Options: Use dried fruit, cranberries, walnuts, raisins, or fresh fruit in place of the cherries if desired. -------------------- I support the separation of church and hate!

Knight of the Round Table Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 166 Joined: 28-Oct-2003 Zodiac: Hazel	Here are a couple of wonderful Cherokee recipe's. Rather than type them out, I have copied and pasted from the Cherokee Nation website: http://www.cherokee.org Yummmmm! I love Kanuchi Kanuchi Kanuchi is considered to be a real delicacy. The nuts are gathered in the fall and allowed to dry for a few weeks before the kanuchi making begins. It is a simple process, but that does not necessarily mean that is easy. The hickory nuts are cracked and the largest pieces of shell removed either by shaking the pieces through a loosely woven basket, or picking them out by hand. Traditionally, a log was hollowed out on one end into a bowl like shape. The shelled hickory nuts are placed in the hollowed log and pounded with a long heavy stick with the end rounded to have the same contour, more or less, as the cavity in the log. The nuts are pounded until they are of a consistency that can be formed into a ball that will hold its shape. Kanuchi balls are usually about three inches in diameter and must be stored in a cold place. Today kanuchi is usually preserved by freezing. To prepare kanuchi for the table, place a kanuchi ball in a saucepan with about a quart of water and bring it to a boil to dissolve the ball. Allow the kanuchi to simmer about ten minutes and then poor it through a fine sieve. (A colander lined with cheese cloth works very well for this.) All the remaining shells are left in the sieve. If you have the time and patience you can pick the larger bits of nut meat from the shells in the sieve and add them to the liquid kanuchi. The kanuchi should be about as thick as light cream. Most traditional cooks will add about two cups of homemade hominy to a quart of kanuchi. Some cooks prefer hominy grits, which are prepared according to package directions and added to the kanuchi. Others add cooked rice. Such things as consistency and how much hominy or hominy grits to add are, of course a matter of taste, as is the addition of salt or sugar. Serve kanuchi hot as soup. The John Howard Payne papers, a document from 1835 where elders were interviewed for their knowledge, states that a thick drink was made from hickory nuts which had been pounded, but it was made with cold water and allowed to thicken without the addition of hominy or rice.

Knight of the Round Table Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 166 Joined: 28-Oct-2003 Zodiac: Hazel	My mom has made these with possom grapes... yumieee. Again, this is copied from the Cherokee Nation website at http://www.cherokee.org/ Grape Dumplings * Grape Dumplings 1 cup flour * 1 � tsp baking powder * 2 tsp sugar * � tsp salt * 1 tbsp shortening * � cup grape juice Mix flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and shortening. Add juice and mix into stiff dough. Roll dough very thin on floured board and cut into strips �" wide (or roll dough in hands and break off pea-sized bits). Drop into boiling grape juice and cook for 10 - 12 minutes. Some Cherokee cooks continue to make their grape dumplings by gathering and cooking wild grapes, or 'possum grapes' instead of grape juice. The John Howard Payne Papers, a document from 1835 where the elders were interviewed for their knowledge of the old ways, tells us that around 1800, a grape dessert was made from boiling the grapes and mashing them and then adding corn meal to make a thick consistency. This seems to be the origin of what has been enjoyed for the last one hundred years or so as "Grape Dumplings."

Reader of souls, vision seeker, TROLL Group: Super Moderator Posts: 4,792 Joined: 20-Jun-2003 Zodiac: Holly Realm: The frontier of Penn's Woods	Berry Soup, Sioux Ingredients: 1 1/2 lb Chuck steak, 1" thick, boned and trimed of excess fat (or optional buffalo) 3 tbs Peanut oil 1 Medium white onion, peeled and sliced 2 cups Beef stock 1 cup Fresh blackberries 1 tbs Light honey Salt to taste Instructions: Broil or grill the meat until browned on both sides, allow to cool. In a Dutch oven, heat the oil and brown the onions. Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces and add to the pot. Add the blackberries and enough beef stock to barely cover the meat. Stir in the honey and simmer the meat, covered, until it is very tender, about 1 hour. If the berries are too tart, add honey to taste, add salt and serve in bowls.

Reader of souls, vision seeker, TROLL Group: Super Moderator Posts: 4,792 Joined: 20-Jun-2003 Zodiac: Holly Realm: The frontier of Penn's Woods	Yonka Pins - Water Lily Roots The yonka pin is the root of the water lily. It is rich in B vitamins and protein. They are gathered in late autumn. Find where the flower was, with its seed pod on a stem. The roots will go out from the main stem. Along the root there will be a clump about the size of a small potato. This is what you will gather Scrap the roots clean as you would carrots. Cut it into thick slices. Cook in boiling meat and broth until tender. These can also be strung on a heavy cord to hang and allow to dry. The taste is a little like beans.

Reader of souls, vision seeker, TROLL Group: Super Moderator Posts: 4,792 Joined: 20-Jun-2003 Zodiac: Holly Realm: The frontier of Penn's Woods	Apache Acorn Soup Source The COHT Cookbook, submitted by Clyde B. * 3 lb Stew beef or jerky to equal fresh meat. * 2 qt Water * 1 tsp Pepper * 1 tsp Salt * 1 cup Ground acorn meal Cover beef with water and bring to boil in a heavy pot. Simmer until done; add salt and pepper as meat cooks tender. Remove beef and chop on a flat stone until split in shreds. The meat broth continues to cook vigorously while meat and acorn flour (meal) are mixed together. Apaches stress that their food is always well done; no instant cooking. Broth, meat and meal simmer together until the broth bubbles creamy white with yellow flecks, pleasantly acorn scented and flavored.

Some of you may know of these as "muscadines"
