Ruby Tomato Chutney

Recipe By : Nancy Shour
Serving Size : 20 Preparation Time :2:00
Categories : Condiments Crockpot
Ethnic

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 cans whole tomatoes — drained, reserve liq
1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
1 large onion — chopped
1 1/2 Tablespoons ginger — slivered
5 cloves garlic — minced
1 tablespoon mustard seed
2 cups sugar
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup raisins

Drain and chop the tomatoes, reserving the liquid.

Combine all ingredients, with 1 cup of the tomato juice in a heavy
saucepan or crockpot. Simmer covered for 1/2 hour. Stir, then continue
to simmer over low heat for another hour, so liquid evaporates and gets
very syrupy (depends on how watery the toma toes were). As the chutney
gets done, the tomatoes will get translucent and “ruby” colored.

Store in canning jars or freeze.

Title: APFELPFANNKUCHEN (GERMAN APPLE PANCAKES)
Categories: Fruits, Penndutch, Breakfast
Yield: 6 servings

2 lg Cooking apples (Yellow
-Delicious, or Granny Smith)
1/4 c Butter
1 c Flour
1 c Milk
1 ts Vanilla extract
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 ts Nutmeg, grated
Confectioners sugar

Preheat oven to 475. Peel, core and very thinly slice
the apples: you should have approximately 1-1/2 cups.
Melt 3 T sp. of the butter over medium low heat in a
small fry pan, and saute the apples until they are
just tender. Keep apples warm while preparing the
batter.

Place a 9 or 10 inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to
heat for at least 5 minutes–the pan has to be very
hot for this to work. When it is well heated, add the
remaining 2 T sp. of butter to melt and put the
skillet back in the oven; the butter should be very
hot buy not brown when you add the apples and the
batter.

Place the flour, milk, vanilla, salt and nutmeg in a
blender and whirl until smooth. Remove the skillet
from the oven, quickly arrange the warm apple slices
over the melted butter, and pour the batter evenly
over all. Bake for 15 min., reduce heat to 375 and
bake 10 min longer. The pancake will puff and climb up
the sides of the pan. Sprinkle with confectioner’s
sugar, then cut in wedges and serve with maple syrup.

Note: If you do not use apples, add 1/4 cup (1/2
stick) butter to the hot skillet.

Title: Tregaron Granny’s Broth (Cawl Mamgu Treagon) Welsh
Categories: Soups
Servings: 6

1 1/2 lb Bacon 1 lb Shin beef
1 ea White cabbage 1/2 lb Carrots
1/2 ea Small swede (Turnip) 1/2 lb Parsnips
1 lb Potatoes 1 ea Large leek

Put the leek in 10 minutes before serving and let the cawl boil.

Cawl was the dish most commonly served for dinner on the farm during the
winter months, in the counties of South and West Wales.

The broth itself would be served in basins or bowls, with bread, and the
meat and vegetables served as a second course.

Tregaron is a small market town in the heart of Ceredigion now famous for
its poney trekking.

Title: Yeast Pasty Dough
Categories: Pies, Ceideburg 2
Yield: 30 servings

1 1/2 c Warm water
1 tb Active dry yeast
1/2 ts Sugar
1/3 c Plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 ts Salt
2 c Whole wheat flour
2 1/2 c White flour
1 Egg, beaten
1 tb Milk (or cream or water)

I love little meat pies of any description. In the case of samosas,
they don’t even have to have meat in ’em. Here’s a series of seven
recipes from all over the world for “turnovers”.

Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1/2 cup of the warm water. Let stand for
10 minutes until bubbly. Then stir in remaining warm water 1/3 cup
olive oil, salt and whole-wheat flour. Mix well.

Stir in 2 cups white flour and as much of the rest as needed to make
a soft dough. Knead well. Oil the sides of a large bowl with the
remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Put the dough in the bowl and
turn to coat with oil. Let rise until doubled, 1 hour. Punch dough
down and let sit for 10 minutes.

Roll dough into 20 x 24-inch rectangle and cut into 4 x 4-inch
squares. Fill with the salmon-rice or other desired filling. Fold
over and seal. Trim excess pastry and decorate top of turnover. Let
rise for 10 minutes. Mix egg and milk (or cream or water) to make an
egg wash and brush it on top of the turnover. Bake in a 400F oven
for 20 to 25 minutes until golden.

Makes 30 pasties.
