Japanese Rosy Pickled Ginger (Gari)
(Originally from the _Washington Post_ Food Section)

1 pound unpeeled baby ginger (in oriental groceries) or peeled regular ginger
(Note: regular ginger tends to be stronger and tougher, but works
quite well anyway)

Peel (if necessary), rinse, and pat dry.
Put in a bowl and coat with about a heaping tablespoon of salt
(preferably the pickling variety). Set in a cool place for 24 hours.

(24 hours later:)
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups rice vinegar (unseasoned light)
1 cup less 2 tablespoons water

Dissolve sugar in rice vinegar and water. Put into a 6-cup resealable
glass jar (I use the kind with the lever-action wire closure and rubber
seal ring). Rinse the salt off the ginger and pat dry. Put ginger into
vinegar/sugar solution. Close jar and refrigerate at least a week.

The vinegar will turn the ginger a rosy pink. Just before serving, slice
thinly with the grain.

You can keep a jar of this going indefinitely by replenishing the ginger
and vinegar/sugar solution as it is used.

desired. It is tasted when served at room temperature.

Enjoy the pate as an appetizer, snack or protein main
dish. May be served on crackers or bread. Great for
picnics, lunches or parties. Keeps 7 days refrigerated

CROCKPOT BEEF BRISKET

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Beef Crock

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 Beef brisket — choice size
1 Bottle liquid smoke*

Servings: 4

Select a brisket the size you want for the number of people you are
serving. The best kind of liquid smoke to use is Colgin’s. I can’t
get in in Indiana, and have to import it from Texas! Shake the
desired amount of liquid smoke on the brisket. I use about half a
bottle for a large brisket. Sometimes I add a clove or two of
garlic, but not always, and not necessary. Cook on low for about 16
hours. I usually start this the evening before I want to serve it the
next day–cook it all night, put in in the fridge until afternoon,
and then return it to cooking for about 4 to 6 more hours that
evening. This long amount of cooking makes it nice and tender. Slice
against grain. Serve with potato salad and baked beans. Yum! Yum Yum.
I have also wrapped brisket in foil, and cooked it with liquid smoke
in the oven for a long time–but crock pot is easier. A recipe of
Judy Lausch DGSV43A.
