Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 Sheep’s stomach bag plus the
-pluck (lights, liver and
-heart)
1 lb Lean mutton
6 oz Fine oatmeal
8 oz Shredded suet
2 lg Onions, chopped

salt and pepper about 1/4 pint beef stock
Soak the stomach bag in salted water overnight. Place
the pluck (lights, liver and heart) in a saucepan with
the windpipe hanging over the edge. Cover with water
and boil for 1 1/2 hours. Impurities will pass out
through the windpipe and it is advisable to place a
basin under it to catch any drips. Drain well and
cool. Remove the windpipe and any gristle or skin.
Mince the liver and heart with the mutton. (Add some
of the lights before mincing if you wish.) Toast the
oatmeal gently until pale golden brown and crisp.
Combine with minced mixture, suet and onion. Season
well and add sufficient stock to moisten well. Pack
into the stomach bag, filling it just over half-full
as the stuffing will swell during cooking. Sew up the
bag tightly or secure each end with string. Put an
upturned plate in the base of a saucepan of boiling
water, stand the haggis on this and bring back to the
boil. Prick the haggis all over with a large needle to
avoid bursting and boil steadily for 3 to 4 hours.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Title: Testing Jar Seals
Categories: Canning, Information
Yield: 1 guide

After cooling jars for 12 to 24 hours, remove the screw bands and test
seals with one of the following options:

Option 1. Press the middle of the lid with a finger or thumb. If the lid
springs up when you release your finger the lid is unsealed.

Option 2. Tap the lid with the bottom of a teaspoon. If it makes a dull
sound, the lid is not sealed. If food is in contact with the underside
of the lid, it will also cause a dull sound. If the jar is sealed
correctly, it will make a ringing, high-pitched sound.

Option 3. Hold the jar at eye level and look across the lid. The lid
should be concave (curved down slightly in the center). If center of the
lid is either flat or bulging, it may not be sealed.

MUFFIES: THEY’RE THE TOPS

1 ea Muffie tip and hints

Who eats muffin bottoms? Just about everyone prefers
the tops. Which is why I invented “muffies”. They’re
baked on a baking sheet instead of a muffin tin and
have no bottom. The muffie has a lot going for it: Two
cups of muffin batter, which customarily makes 4-6
muffins, is enough for 16 muffins. And they take much
less time to bake, usually less than 10 minutes. I
prefer them just lightly browned so they stay a little
moist and soft inside. Almost any thick muffin batter
will work, but space the muffies at least two inches
part because they spread a good deal, especially if
the batter is not chilled. They way to get a puffier
muffie is to refrigerate the batt until it is very
chilled. Bake the batter right after it is mixed and
all you’ll get is a flat, soft cookie. Muffies should
be enjoyed warm, right from the oven. To reheat, wrap
them in foil and warm gently in a conventional oven.
To store, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet
and freeze them. Once frozen, place them in an
airtight plastic bag, then in another airtight plastic
bag to stave off freezer odor. Defrost as needed. The
following muffies will get you started. The first two
are deliberately low in cholesterol. The
Blueberry-Apple Muffie is not low, but not excessive,
either.

Oh, this is delicious! I made this for the girls and I
and we loved it– ate 2 halves each. It baked pretty
quickly, but I didn’t time it– try 10 mins or so but
don’t let the tomatoes get any more than warmed. The
flavor changes too much and isn’t pleasant.
