    Default Persimmons, recipes, variety foods, and kitties

    Persimmons--'round these parts they are no good until they hit the ground. We finally found 3 trees which had not dropped their fruit yet on state property. I have been gathering diligently for two weeks. Then, I put them thru the food mill, which is a hassle, but the only way to get pulp only.

    Recipes-- <allrecipes.com> They have their Top 20 which include puddings, cakes, breads and cookies (excellent with cream cheese icing!). Epicurious.com has a Persimmon Fool recipe that sounds enticing.

    Foods--The wild food sausages offered by Cabela's have piqued my curiosity. Christmas seems like a good time to get some for a gift.

    Kitties-- I am aghast!

    This "fruitcake" you will eat.

    I was a non believer until I went there and tried it.

    There have been a few brags so far on this thread, but not a single recipe. I can't believe it!

    My parents used to send me a fruitcake every year from some company. Every year I'd call 'em up and say thanks. They'd ask if I liked it, and I'd say no and ask them not to send it any more. They'd promise.

    This happened for many years. Finally they got my name off the list and life improved.

    After they passed on, we came across their fruit cake list and in their memory sent out one last round of fruit cakes. Have to admit that while I miss my parents, I don't miss those fruit cakes!

    And give away the secrets? Not a chance!

    We have friends in Fairbanks Alaska that do a lot of fishing every year. They smoke most of the catch and seal it. But sometimes it's not smoked enough... One year they sent us some for Christmas... by regular mail. We had those cluster mailboxes on the street and when I walked up to get the mail I could smell something.......I can't imagine what the mailman thought when he had to deliver that. I thanked our friends for their thoughtfulness and explained that the fish was spoiled and we couldn't eat it. So.......the next year they sent it by Fedex.......and the Fedex driver laid the package under the front door mat. We rarely used the front door so it laid there for a few days before I found it. We were living in the south and it was warm out at Christmas. I had to put a stop to the fish gifts after that.

    lol..Mrs B. That is 1 thing we do well is fish.. at least Brad does. We go every year. I spend my time hiking the fish out to the car and making sure the dogs don't go in the ripping river . he always says " don't tell the guys you pack it out "... haha. I LOVE doing that. The King salmon.. man oh man.. sweet.

    German Stollen is a good alternative to fruit cake - similer, but bread based. Google for about a 1000 recipes. My mom used to make stollens for Chirstmas. Your suppost to make them a month before Chirstmas and let them age, but ours never lasted more than an hour out of the oven.

    HEre's a recipe. Something simple, yummy and delicious. Good for post meal with the dark coffee.

    We called 'em wine biscuits.


    Ingredients
    4 cups flour
    3 tsp baking powder
    1 cup sugar
    1 tsp salt
    1 cup red wine
    1 cup oil
    1 egg, lightly beaten

    1.Mix together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl
    2.Make well in center, pour in wine and oil
    3.Mix to blend and form dough. Let stand in ball for 10 minutes
    4.Break off pieces and roll into hands to form rolls about size of your thumb
    5.Coil onto greased cookie sheet, making center of coil slightly higher than outer edges
    6.Brush with egg.
    7.Bake in pre-heated oven until browned for 15-20 minutes

    And with a little googling, I found this recipe similar to Grandma's fruitcake. Panforte in Italian..

    http://www.recipetips.com/recipe-car...-fruitcake.asp

    Dad's promised to send me the recipe for her's.

    Much as I like to share the outdoors, I love to share cooking knowledge, too.

    Same. Quite good, but make more than one at a time.

    Piss on a rope and suck on the wet end, sounds like a challenge to me.
    -
    soak overnight 4 cups dried fruit combo: Use what u like.
    craisins
    blonde raisins
    black raisins
    dried apricots
    dried dates
    I cheat and use:
    regular old Star Marichino cherries, juice and all
    fill your measure to four cups with fruit and cover with spiced rum.
    -
    Start out with 2 spice cake mixes.
    add 1 1/4 cup spiced rum
    add 1/2 cup amaretto
    add 1 cup water
    add 2/3 cup veggie oil
    add 4 eggs
    add 1 cup applesauce
    add 2 tablespoons dark molasses
    add 1 stick melted butter
    add 1 1/2 cup brown sugar
    add your fruit combo from above at this point rum and all and
    last but not least 2 cups pecans
    -
    spoon into 5 disposable 9x5 loaf pans and bake in 350 degree oven for 45 minutes, rotate pans and bake for an additional 45 minutes, remove from pans and allow to cool completely, then returm to pans and sprinkle loafs with additional spiced rum or amaretto to your liking for a couple days before wrapping and freezing 4 of the 5 loafs for a couple months in the freezer. I usually eat the first loaf as a reward for the best rum cake recipe that I know of to date. These are moist and tasty and should qualify as a fruitcake.........sorta
    If it feels good, Do It.
    If it feels really good, Don't Stop.

    Tried this - turned out _very_ good! Thanks for the recipe!!

    I used 3 kinds of raisins, craisins, and dried apricots; just spiced rum - no amaretto; cut the brown sugar to 1/2 cup; and no pecans - my husband doesn't like nuts. I also couldn't find the 9x5 pans, so used 6 of the smaller 8x3 3/4 pans.

    When I make this again, I'm going to leave out the water. It already had a lot more liquid than the cake mixes called for.

    I'm bringing two of these to SoRuck...

    The only BEST I make is my chili. I will put my Hot German Potato Salad up in any competition though, complete with a slight change--ramps instead of onion!

    Found a cornbread mix in Robbinsville this weekend--Ramp Cornbread Mix. I am making that this afternoon. Nessmuk keeps up well supplied with ramp powder. Creamed Morels (from dehydrated are on the menu, too.

    AND as far as Harry and David go--their Onion Pepper Relish is da BOMB. I bought a case of it several years ago when at one of their stores in Potomac Mills.
