Title: Jamaican Beef Patties
Categories: Beef, Appetizers
Yield: 24 servings

4 c All purpose flour
1 ts Salt
1 1/4 c Shortening
6 To 8 Tbsp ice water
Filling:
1 lg Onion, diced fine
4 Garlic cloves, minced
3 Jalapeno chilies, seeded,
-stemmed, and minced
3 tb Vegetable oil
3/4 lb Ground beef
2 ts Each ground coriander,
-cumin, and tumeric
1 ts Each ground allspice and
-cinnamon
1 Green bell pepper, stemmed,
-seeded, and finely chopped
4 Tomatoes minced
1 bn Green onions, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
2 Eggs, lightly beaten

Servings: 24 patties

Pastry:

Preheat the oven to 400 deg F. To make the dough:
place the flour and salt in a large bowl; mix well.
Cut the shortening into small pieces about the size of
walnuts. Add to the flour and, using your fingers,
rub the flour and shortening together, making a
coarse, mealy dough. Add the ice water and gather the
dough into a ball. The dough should be firm and not
sticky. If the dough is too dry, add a little more
water, but if the dough is too sticky, add just enough
flour to make it form a ball. Divide the dough into 2
equal balls and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate
for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.

To make the filling: in a large skillet, cook the
onion, garlic, and chilies in the oil over moderate
heat for about 10 minutes, stirring from time to time.
Add the beef, herbs, spices, bell pepper, and
tomatoes, and cook over high heat for 5 minutes,
stirring constantly until the mixture is thick and
saucy. Add the green onions and cook for 1 minute.
Season with salt and pepper and cool to room
temperature.

To assemble the patties: on a lightly floured
surface, divide each ball into 2 equal balls, so that
you have 4 equal balls. Flatten into disc shapes,
then divide each disc into 6 equal pieces and roll
each into a ball. Roll each ball into a 3 1/2 inch
diameter circle. Brush the edges with beaten egg.
Place about 1 tablespoon of filling on one side of
each circle, leaving a 1/4 inch border. Fold the
dough over, making a half-moon shape. Seal the edges
with the tines of a fork, and brush with the remaining
egg.

Bake on a lightly greased baking sheet for 25 to 30
minutes, or until the patties are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Title: DANDELION JELLY
Categories: Desserts, Jams
Yield: 6 servings

1 qt Dandelion blossoms
2 qt Water
2 tb Fresh lemon juice
1 3/4 oz Powdered fruit pectin
5 1/2 c Sugar

Pick bright, fresh dandelion blossoms and pack the
quart container pretty tightly. This is going to
require a lot of dandelion blossoms! Rinse quickly in
cold water to remove any insects/dirt on the petals.
Don’t leave the blossoms in the water for very long
though, as they will be a little the worse for wear.

Next, pull up a chair somewhere comfortable, as this
part is going to take awhile…Snip off the stem and
green collar under each blossom, so that only the
petals are left. This takes about four hours!

In an enamel saucepan, boil the dandelion petals in
water for 3 minutes, or a little longer, until the
water takes on their color. (I boiled the petals for
4 minutes until I liked the color better.)

Cool and strain, pressing against the petals with your
fingers to extract all of the dandelion juice. (Or
you can cheat and line a sieve with moistened
cheesecloth and strain it that way.)

Measure out 3 cups of dandelion liquid. Add the lemon
juice and fruit pectin. Stir to combine.

Bring to a boil, using a large kettle. Add the sugar,
stirring to mix well. Continue stirring and boil the
mixture for 2 and 1/2 minutes.

Pour into hot sterilized jelly jars and seal. Process
for five minutes in a boiling water bath.

Yield: Five 1/2 pint jars.
