Cookin' With The Canteen Presents...

It’s Harvest Time!!

The weather is cooler, and it’s time to cook all the wonderful stuff that’s been harvested!

First, let’s go on a hay ride!



Oh, look! A Cider press!!



Let’s head back to the kitchen and do some cookin’!



New England Boiled Dinner



2 1/2 - 3 lb. picnic ham
3-4 garlic cloves
4-5 bay leaves
Approx. 12 peppercorns
4-5 sm. onions (halved)
Potatoes
Cabbage
Carrots
Kielbasa (ring)

Place ham in large Dutch oven. Cover with hot tap water. Add spices, simmer 1 1/2 hours. Drain some water to add remaining ingredients. Simmer another 1 hour.





How about some Apple Crisp?



* 3 pounds tart apples
* 2 tablespoons lemon juice
* 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/3 cup granulated sugar
* 1/3 cup rolled oats
* 4 tablespoons cold butter (1/2 stick)
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Preparation:
Peel, core and chop the apples; toss in a bowl with lemon juice. In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg; add to the apples and toss to combine.

In another bowl combine flour, sugar and oats. Cut butter into 8 small pieces, and cut butter into flour with a pastry blender or two forks until mixture is crumbly. Stir in the chopped nuts.

Butter a 9-inch square baking dish. Spread apple mixture in bottom of baking dish then sprinkle with flour mixture. Bake at 375° for 30 to 45 minutes, or until apples are tender and topping is lightly browned.

Serve warm or at room temperature, with vanilla ice cream or a little heavy cream, if desired.





Try this for a new and fun recipe!



Savory Stuffed Pumpkin:

* 1-1/2 pounds ground beef
* 1 medium onion, chopped
* 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
* 1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms
* 3 tablespoons soy sauce
* 2 tablespoons brown sugar
* 1-1/2 cups cooked rice
* 1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
* 1 large pie pumpkin (8 to 9 pounds)
* Vegetable oil


Directions:

* In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the soup, mushrooms, soy sauce and brown sugar. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the rice and water chestnuts.

* Wash pumpkin; cut a 6-in. circle around stem. Remove top and set aside. Discard seeds and loose fibers from the inside. Spoon beef mixture into pumpkin; replace top.

* Place in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Rub oil over outside of pumpkin. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1-1/2 hours or until pumpkin is tender. Scoop out some pumpkin with each serving of beef mixture. Yield: 6 servings.



Come share your Harvest recipes with us and have fun!

Please remember that the Canteen is a place to honor our Troops, Allies and Veterans, and their families.
Please leave thy politics at the door.
A gentle reminder from Ms B.
