BLUEBERRY SAUSAGE BREAKFAST TREAT

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Breakfast

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
3/4 lb Sausage, pork
2 c Flour
1 t Baking powder
1/2 ts Baking soda
1/2 c Butter
1/2 c Sugar
1/4 c Sugar, brown
2 Eggs
8 oz Sour cream
1 c Blueberries
1/2 c Pecans, chopped

Day before: Cook sausage and drain well. Stir
together flour, baking powder, and baking soda. In
large mixing bowl, beat butter until fluffy. Add
sugars and beat until well-blended. Add eggs, one at a
time, beating well after each. Alternate adding flour
mixture and sour cream to creamed ingredients; mix
well. Fold in sausage and berries. Pour batter into
ungreased 13“x9”x2″ baking pan. Sprinkle pecans on
top. Refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 350. Bake 35-40 minutes, until done.
Cool on wire rack.

Sylvia’s notes: With two young kids, I didn’t want to
use chopped nuts, so I sprinkled raw oats on top.
Then, I didn’t have a 13“x9″ pan, so used two
8”x3-3/4″ pans. And my oven was broken so I used my
toaster oven and baked one pan 35 minutes at 350. The
batter is so thick it’s very hard to work with; I need
to add more liquid next time. It’s also too rich to
bake easily, think I’ll replace some sour cream with
water or milk.

FOR THE POT LIKKER:
1 large bunch of collards
8 quarts water
2 whole tabasco peppers
1 1/2 pounds smoked pork jowls
8 whole cloves of garlic — peeled
2 cups distilled vinegar
2 tablespoons black pepper
1/2 onion
FOR THE CHILI:
6 quarts pot likker
2 bay leaves
1 3 pound smoked chuck roast
2 1/2 pounds hamburger
2 pounds pinto beans
84 ounces canned tomatoes — roughly chopped

4 tablespoons cumin powder
4 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons oregano — crushed
2 tablespoons dried shrimp
2 tablespoons black pepper
1/2 cup worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup nuoc mam
12 ounces cheap American beer

This is hardly a traditional (Texas) recipe for chili, but it turned out
pretty good.

First, make the pot likker. Wash and soak the collard greens, remove the
leaves from the stems, and put into a large pot. Add water, vinegar,
tabasco peppers, garlic cloves, onion, smoked pork jowl, and black pepper.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for six to eight hours. Remove and
reserve collards for another meal; strain pot likker and reserve.

Now, add pinto beans and bay leaves to the pot likker, bring to a boil, and
simmer until beans are semi-soft. Cut smoked chuck roast into bite-sized
chunks and add to the pot. Fry up hamburger, drain fat, chop, and add to
the pot. In a small frying pan roast the cumin and mustard seeds, crush in
a mortar and pestle, and add to the chili. Add all other ingredients, bring
to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occassionally.
Remove from heat, and serve.
