Jerky Stew

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 pound Jerky — beef or buffalo
1 cup Whole dried hominy — soaked overnight in
— ample water
1 large Yellow onion — peeled/chopped
1 pound Potatoes* — unpeeled/diced
Salt and pepper to taste

*Native Americans would have used prairie potatoes — arrowhead (Sagittaria
latifolia).

Break the jerky up into 1-inch pieces and place in a heavy, lidded kettle.
Drain the hominy and add to the jerky, along with the onion. Cover with water
and bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, until the hominy is tender, about 2
hours. You will have to watch this closely, as more water will have to be
added as you go along. Add the potatoes and cook for an additional 20
minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Pear Tart with Fragipane

Recipe By : Peter Kump
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Desserts Pies
Fruit Nuts

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 (9-in) pre-baked tart shell
1 1/2 cups Sugar
1 2″ piece of vanilla bean — split open
2 Strips of lemon zest — (1″ x 2″ each)
2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 large Ripe pears — (Bosc, if possible)
1/2 cup Whole blanched almonds
2 cups Milk
1 2″ piece of vanilla bean
2 Eggs
2 Egg yolks
3/4 cup Sugar
1 cup Flour
6 tablespoons Butter — in 1/2-in bits
1/2 cup Dry or stale macaroons — pulverized
1/2 cup Kirsch
1 1/2 cups Apricot jam
1/4 cup Kirsch
3 tablespoons Finely chopped pistachios — (blanched)

IN A MEDIUM-SIZE, NON-REACTIVE saucepan, combine the 1 1/2 cups sugar, the
split vanilla bean, lemon zest, lemon juice and 4 cups water. Bring to a
boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and
the syrup is clear. Peel the pears, cut in half lengthwise, seed, core and
stem. Shape 1/2 of 1 pear into a peach-like round by cutting off the stem
end. Poach the pear halves in the sugar syrup until tender. Drain on a rack.
Preheat oven to 350F. On a baking sheet, toast the almonds to golden brown,
cool and pulverize in a food processor. Heat the milk with the remaining
2-inch piece of vanilla bean. Meanwhile, beat the eggs, yolks and 3/4 cup
sugar until thick and lemon colored, then add the flour. When the flour is
absorbed, add the milk, return to the heat, stirring, and cook 3-5 minutes,
or until nicely thickened. Pour pastry cream into a bowl and stir in the 6
tablespoons of butter. Add the almond powder, macaroons, and 1/2 cup kirsch.
Allow to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally; cover with plastic
wrap and refrigerate to chill. Heat the apricot jam, then rub through a fine
sieve and add the 1/4 cup kirsch. Heat again and stir constantly until clear.
Spread a thin layer of apricot glaze on bottom of the baked and cooled pastry
shell. Spoon in the frangipane (almond pastry cream) and smooth it out. Set
the pear round in the center and arrange around it the pear halves, stem end
facing center. Press pears gently into the frangipane. Brush the apricot
glaze over the pears; mix the pistachios and sprinkle over the pears.
Refrigerate until 15 minutes before serving.
(Can be made 1 day in advance.)

BREADMAKER HINTS #1 REV

Categories : Breadmaker

Judy Garnett pjxg05a

Make sure that all ingredients are at LEAST room temp. Put all
ingredients in bread pan in order listed. Yeast must be fresh! I keep
it in the refrigerator, but bringing to room temp. only takes a few
minutes. If you are making bread other than white, you may need to
add gluten and/or lecithin to your dough. They are especially helpful
when making whole wheat, rye or other heavier type breads. They help
improve elasticity of the dough. (They are usually available at
Health Food stores and I have found Lethicin near the Vitamins at
Pharmor.) I usually set the dark/light setting to “11 o’clock” unless
I’m making sweet bread, then I set it back to about “9 o’clock”. The
key to using the auto-breadmaker is to have the correct proportion of
flour to liquid. After the dough has kneaded for a few minutes in the
breadmaker, look in and see if there is ONE ball of dough which is
incorporating most of the flour from the sides of the pan. If it’s a
“gooey mess”, add 1 T. flour until it makes ONE SOFT ball. If there
are two or more balls, add 1 T water and see if it makes 1 ball. (You
may have to go back and forth with this until you get it right )
While it’s in its first knead (BEFORE it goes into the fermentation
cycle), open the lid and touch the dough lightly. It should be in one
soft ball. If your finger has sticky dough on it, add a Tablespoon of
flour. Let it knead a minute and touch it again and check to see if
it’s still sticky. Keep adding a tablespoon at a time ONLY until it’s
no longer sticky, DON’T OVERDO IT. If it just makes a slight
indentation and doesn’t look crusty, it’s probably about right. If it
feels too dry or is in two or more DRY-looking balls (not a sticky
mass), add a tablespoon at a time of WARM water. PLEASE DON’T ADD TOO
MUCH LIQUID. If you add too much liquid in proportion to the flour,
the dough may rise too much and overflow. If you look in and see that
the dough is threatening to rise up over the top of the bread pan,
don’t panic, poke it a few times with a toothpick, skewer, fork,etc.
until it deflates a little. PLEASE SEE BREADMAKER HINTS #2 Rev for
continutation of hints. Written in 1991
