Due to the fact some of McCormick’s products are not available in Canada
I
have substituted OXO Low Sodium Beef bouillon packets for McCormick (r)
Beef Flavor Base also did not use seasoned salt to lower sodium.
This soup is a excellent cold weather soup.

NOTES : MCCORMICK’S

This was in my Word Recipe Cookbook, not sure if I copied from a
brochure or from the Internet. It is a great soup to include in
a
child’s lunch. It is a delicious soup.

I had a request for these so I thought I’d also post it to the group. This is
a delicious and easy recipe for baked beans that I make often during the
winter.

Baked Beans a la Crockpot

3 cups (1 1/2 lbs) beans (pea, navy, or great northern)
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup catsup
1/2 cup brown sugar (dark or light works fine)
1 cup water
2 TBL dry mustard
2 TBL molasses
1 TBL salt
1 inch of fresh ginger, minced

Wash and sort beans. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil 2 minutes and
remove from heat. Let soak 1 hour. Bring to a boil again and then simmer
approx. 45 min or until cooked but not soft or mushy.

Drain beans. Put in the crockpot. Mix the rest of the ingredients together and
stir into the beans.

Turn on low and cook 10 – 12 hours. This is great dish to prepare the night
before and then turn on the pot when you leave for work in the morning. When
you come home at night dinner’s ready and the house smells great!

1 pk (or 1 tablespoon) Active Dry

Title: Boiled Ginger Snaps
Categories: Polkadot, Epona, Cookies, Spicy
Yield: 1 Servings

2 c Flour
1 c Brown sugar
1 c Molasses
2 ts Ginger
1 ts Soda
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 c Water
1 c Lard (I use Crisco)

Heat molasses and water to boiling point. Add shortening. Add dry
ingredients mixed and sifted. Chill. Roll very thin and cut. Bake
about
10 minutes in a hot oven.

A note earlier in the cookbook suggests a hot oven should be in the
range of 400-450 degrees (these recipes were devised for the ovens of
wood stoves, apparently.) I’d say to go with 400F.

Very crisp. Very gingery.

Title: Jamaican Rice And Peas
Categories: Veg-cook, August
Yield: 1 servings

1 1/2 c Dried red kidney beans,
Soaked overnight
1 Clove garlic, crushed
x Salt
1/2 c Unsweetened coconut milk
2 Scallions, chopped
2 Sprigs fresh thyme
1 Whole Scotch Bonnet Chili (I
Usually use several
Cayennes)
x Black pepper
2 c Long-grain white rice

Boil the beans, garlic and salt until the beans are tender. Save three cups
of the liquid, discarding the garlic. Return the beans and the three cups
liquid to the pot (if there’s not enough of the cooking liquid use water),
along with the coconut milk, scallions, thyme, chili, and black pepper and
salt to taste. When it comes to a boil, add in the rice. Let it boil for
20 minutes, then remove it from the heat and let it sit for 15 minutes.
Stir it with a fork. Do Not Eat the chili pepper.

I’ve made this with canned beans, skipping the first step and just dumping
them in with 3 cups water and some garlic powder, and everything else.

SOUTHERN BISCUITS

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Breakfast

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 1/2 c Sifted, self-rising flour
1/2 c Lard or shortening
1 c Buttermilk

From “A Treasury or Southern Baking” by Prudence
Hilburn. HarperCollins; 1993.

Preheat the oven to 475’F. Lightly grease a baking
sheet.

Put the flour in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in
the center. Add the shortening (lard) and buttermilk.
Start working the flour into the milk and shortening,
squeezing the mixture through the fingers until a soft
dough is formed. This will be a sticky dough. Lift the
dough from the bowl and start folding, gently kneading
or pressing with the fingertips, and turning the dough
until it is no longer sticky. Pat the dough to a
thickness of about 1/2". Cut with a 2″ biscuit cutter.
(Or instead, many Southern bakers prefer to pinch off
small portions of dough to make balls about 1 1/2″ in
diameter. Roll balls in your palms, place on baking
sheet, and press with knuckles to flatten slightly.)
Place on baking sheet. If you want outside to be
crispy, the biscuits should be placed about 1″ apart.
For a soft biscuit, place with edges touching. Bake
for about 8 minutes, until lightly browned. Best
served hot from the oven, with butter, if desired.
