sucessful variations that I’ve tried have been: Rice
vinegar for white, add thinly sliced red or green hot
chilis, use palm sugar instead of granulated.

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups Vegetables

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 lb Parsnips
1 lb Butternut squash or sweet
-potatoes
4 Strips bacon
1 md Onion, finely chopped
2 Stalks celery, finely
-chopped
3 tb Flour
5 c Chicken stock
Bouquet garni of bay leaf,
-thyme and parsley
1 Cinnamon stick
1 c Heavy cream
Salt
Freshly ground white pepper
Cayenne pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg
3 tb Chopped fresh chives

“Chowder originated as fish stew. But in areas where
seafood was unavailable, resourceful Americans used
vegetables. This recipe comes from….Rich Spencer, a
chef in the Mount Washington Valley.”

Peel the parsnips and squash (or sweet potatoes) and
cut each into 1/4 inch dice. Cut the bacon into
1/4-inch strips and render it in a large saucepan.
When the bacon pieces are lightly browned, transfer
with a slotted spoon to paper towels to dry. Discard
all but 3 tablespoons af the rendered fat.

Add the onion and celery to the pan and cook over
medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until soft but not
browned. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to
make a roux. Whisk in the chicken stock and bring to a
boil: the mixture will thicken slightly.

Add the bouquet garni, cinnamon stick, parsnips and
squash. Simmer the chowder for 6 to 8 minutes, or
until the vegetables are tender but not soft. Stir in
the cream, salt, pepper, cayenne and nutmeg. Just
before serving, remove the bouquet garni and cinnamon
stick. Ladle the chowder into bowls and sprinkle each
with chopped chives and nutmeg.

Serves 6 to 8.

1 teaspoon unsalted butter, melted
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups toasted walnut pieces
measuring cup, measuring spoons, small nonstick pan, cook’s knife, cutting
board, 10″ by 15″ baking sheet with sides, aluminum foil, pastry brush,
3 quart sauce pan, whisk, rubber spatula, serrated slicer.
Line a backing sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly coat the foil with the
melted butter and set aside.

Heat the cream, sugar, corn syrup, and chopped chocolate in a 3 quart saucepan
over medium heat. When hot, stir to dissolve the sugar and chocolate. Bring
mixture to a boil (about 20 minutes), than adjust heat to low and simmer slowly
for 40 minutes, stirring frequently, until quite thick. Remove from the heat.
Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine. Add the chopped walnuts and stir
with a rubber spatula to combine. Pour the mixture onto the aluminum foil-
lined baking sheet, using a rubber spatula to spread the mixture to the edges.
Allow the mixture to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes, then
refrigerate for 2 hours before cutting.

Turn caramel out onto a cutting board. Use a serrated slicer to make 9 cuts
across the width of the sheet of caramel at 1 1/2 inch intervals. Then make
4 cuts across the length of the sheet at 2 inch intervals. Individually wrap
each caramel in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and store in the refrigerator
until ready to devour.
