The weather is cooler, and it’s time to cook all the wonderful stuff that’s been harvested!

First, let’s go on a hay ride!



Oh, look! A Cider press!!



Let’s head back to the kitchen and do some cookin’!

3-4 garlic cloves
4-5 bay leaves
Approx. 12 peppercorns
4-5 sm. onions (halved)
Potatoes
Cabbage
Carrots

Place ham in large Dutch oven. Cover with hot tap water. Add spices, simmer 1 1/2 hours. Drain some water to add remaining ingredients. Simmer another 1 hour.





How about some Apple Crisp?

* 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

Preparation:
Peel, core and chop the apples; toss in a bowl with lemon juice. In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg; add to the apples and toss to combine.

In another bowl combine flour, sugar and oats. Cut butter into 8 small pieces, and cut butter into flour with a pastry blender or two forks until mixture is crumbly. Stir in the chopped nuts.

Butter a 9-inch square baking dish. Spread apple mixture in bottom of baking dish then sprinkle with flour mixture. Bake at 375° for 30 to 45 minutes, or until apples are tender and topping is lightly browned.

Serve warm or at room temperature, with vanilla ice cream or a little heavy cream, if desired.





Try this for a new and fun recipe!



Savory Stuffed Pumpkin:

Directions:

* In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the soup, mushrooms, soy sauce and brown sugar. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the rice and water chestnuts.

* Wash pumpkin; cut a 6-in. circle around stem. Remove top and set aside. Discard seeds and loose fibers from the inside. Spoon beef mixture into pumpkin; replace top.

* Place in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Rub oil over outside of pumpkin. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1-1/2 hours or until pumpkin is tender. Scoop out some pumpkin with each serving of beef mixture. Yield: 6 servings.

Looking good enough to smell across the bandwidths. Just got back from fellowship and a fried chicken dinner. Mashed tators, veggies and a cranberry crisp for dessert. YUMM. Soggy day closer 8^)

I didn't cook any of it so don't have the recipes, sorry.

Here is my contribution....

Tet68’s Easy Beef Jerky.

Buy a medium pot roast or larger if you like.
Slice it into 1/2 inch slices across the grain
try to remove any large pieces of fat, as that
will not keep for very long.

Then tenderize by pounding it to 1/4 thickness
with the edge of a heavy plate (which is what we
do in deer camp with tenderloins and backstraps),
or you can have your butcher slice it and then run
it through a tenderizer like they do for minute steaks.

Mix teriyaki glaze with soy sauce and some hot pepper
flakes or habenero sauce plus some Liquid Smoke
flavoring, and soak the meat in it in a large bowl in the fridge overnight, turning occasionally.

The next day, line your oven floor with foil so the
drippings don’t make a mess, take the beef strips and
skewer them on bamboo skewers about five or six to a
skewer, from one end of the strip. If the strips are
too long just cut them off with kitchen shears
so they don’t drag on the oven floor,
the short pieces can all be put on another skewer.

Remember, the strips will be drippy, so put some
paper towels down on the oven door so as to not have
a mess to clean up later.

Remove lower racks, put the strips down between
the bars of the oven rack set in the highest position,
with the skewers running across the bars.

When all are set in place not touching each other,
slide the rack back in and remove the paper towels.

Then turn the oven on its lowest setting around 125 and
no higher than 150, do all this in the morning, leave
on over night with the oven door propped open with a spoon just a crack so the moisture can escape.

GO TO SLEEP.

Usually by the next morning your jerky will be done,
if it is thick it will take longer. when you test it
it should break cleanly which tells you its dried
completely, some like it a little less done but it
won’t keep as long,and is harder to eat,
when you are ready to remove it from the oven
lift the skewers out of the rack, then
twist the pieces to loosen them from the skewer,
store in zip lock bags.

Do not let your husband keep opening the oven to see
“If it’s done yet?” also try and keep him from eating
it as it gets about done. Remember everytime you open
the door, you are letting heat OUT.

It will keep for weeks or even months if kept dry.

One can also make Pemmican, which is broken up and
Pounded jerky( this is where being able to break it
into smaller chunks comes in handy),
mixed with beef suet and nuts, grains and dried berries and rolled into balls and wrapped in cloth or plastic
bags.

THERE is nothing better on a deer hunt than munching
on home made Jerky, it’s better for you than candy and
again more nourishing too.

Can be made with game, deer etc, Elk jerky is awesome~!
Really brings a person in touch with the colonial and
trapper days.

Another thing you can do is to take the pounded and
tenderized strips and dredge them in PANCAKE mix
and then fry, the pancake mix has a higher sugar content
which means it will brown faster and keep you from
over cooking, this is what we to with the deer backstraps
in camp, we serve this “Hunter’s Choice” with
fried cabbage and fried apples for desert,
then it’s off to bed so you can be
up before daylight. When someone hollers,
“It’s burning daylight!!” you know you’ve slept too
long.

Remember Jerky’s relatively easy and husbands will love
you for it. Enjoy!

Tet68

Evening Luvvy, Hugs.

Working at a different workstation and things are acting oddly.

That is what the test post was all about.
