Lindac - your 'snackers' recipe please!

17 years ago

All my recipes are trapped on my old computer - problems with the drive and until I can get my tech guru to retrieve them, I am flying by the seat of my pants.

I picked up a Ring Bologna yesterday in anticipation of making your snackers and realized I dont have the recipe. can you help?

Snackers
1 ring Dutch Balogna ( about a pound )

Slice and layer in a crock or straight sided bowl
In a sauce pan place 1 c. cider vinegar, 1 cup water and 3/4 c sugar and 1 tsp mustard seed ( whole). Bring to a boil and pour over meat and let stand un refrigerated for 24 hours. Serve with cocktail rye.

Thanks for the response, newbeginning. I don't think lemon juice and vinegar are 1 T. I read "1 Ã¯Â¿Â½ Tablespoons lemon juice" and "1 Ã¯Â¿Â½ Tablespoons cider vinegar". Not sure if other browsers will see the ? between the 1 and the Tablespoon, as I do. The measure for fresh grated onion IS 1 T. Note that "Tablespoon" is singular here. Not a serious problem. I agree that I can guestimate 1 1/2 for lemon juice and vinegar and 1/2 for garlic. Edited to add this: With suggestions from others, I changed settings in the View menu, as I explained in a later text. I can read the original, but this one turned into upside down ? marks. Weird. Oh, well. They mean 1/2. This post was edited by Bellsmom on Tue, Mar 11, 14 at 16:09

I find that potatoes absorb all the flavor and leave the meat bland. I cook them separately. I don't add any fat to the pan but put the meat in the very hot pan, let it sear and turn it when it releases. If you leave it alone until it is ready to release you will be able to turn it without tearing the browned bits off. Sear all sides then add chopped onion, several cloves of crushed garlic, herbs and carrots if you like them. I often add either fresh Italian plum tomatoes or a can of whole tomatoes, in which case my herbs will be thyme and oregano. Cover and simmer for an hour or more. Cool the meat completely in the fridge. Remove from pan and slice across the grain, return slices to pan, cover slices with the gravy, cover with tight lid and simmer for another hour. Slicing the cold meat and returning to simmer guarantees a tender, not stringy pot roast. You can cook pot roast without adding any liquid. After searing and adding the herbs and aromatics cover tightly and cook over low heat. The meat will release its own juices.You can adjust seasonings according to your own tastes. There is nothing in the world like a well cooked, tender pot roast and there are many ways to accomplish it, but slicing against the grain is essential. I don't know why. This I learned from my mother in law and I have never seen it to fail.

Wizardnm and Readinglady - your peach preserves recipes please

Here it is: Peach Jam With Brown Sugar and Rum Makes 6 half pints 6 cups frozen peach slices, thawed 2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar 6 tablespoons strained fresh lemon juice (2 lemons) 3/4 cup dark rum, preferably Jamaican (divided) 2 cups granulated sugar Wash 6 half-pint jars and keep hot until needed. Prepare the lids as manufacturer directs. Combine the peaches with the brown sugar, lemon juice and about half of the rum in a large pot and stir the mixture well. Stir well, cover and refrigerate overnight. Pour the fruit mixture into large, heavy-bottomed pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover the pan, reduce the heat and simmer until the fruit chunks start turning translucent, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring several times. If the jam becomes too thick before the fruit clarifies, add 2 or 3 tablespoons water. Add the granulated sugar and cook the jam rapidly over medium-high heat, stirring almost constantly, until a spoonful placed on a chilled saucer and refrigerated for a few moments wrinkles instead of running when the saucer is tilted sharply. (Remove the pot from the heat while testing.) Stir in the remaining rum and cook the jam for 2 minutes, stirring. Ladle the boiling-hot jam into 1 hot jar at a time, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe the rim with a clean, damp cloth. Attach the lid. Fill and close the remaining jars. Process for 10 minutes in a boiling-water canner. -- Adapted from "Fancy Pantry" by Helen Witty (Sharon Maasdam) *Note: For Mango Jam use 6 cups peeled, chopped firm-ripe mangos and 6 tablespoons strained fresh lime juice in lieu of the lemon. My Note: Although the recipe doesn't mention it, this jam benefits from aging on the shelf to mellow. Carol

Lindac, help, please with your Italian Bread

You used a total of 12 cups of flour to 2 cups of liquid??? Either your cup measurers are very different than mine or you mis-counted. 4 cups of flour and 2 cups of water should make a very soft dough....and adding more as "kneaded"...needed to make it able to be shaped... I just took a loaf out of the oven..... Let's go over it again. 1 1/2 cups, with yeast and a cup of flour to make a sponge Then add another 1/2 cup of water with the salt, a cup of flour and the olive oil. Stir and add about 2 cups more flour until it can be kneaded.....turn out and knead for 6 to 8 minutes, adding bench flour as needed so it doesn't stick to your hands. Is that about what you did?

Can you explain a little more about the "snackers"? I'm not sure how to cut the bologna (little slabs to serve on the rye?).

I'm assuming that "cocktail rye" are small rye crackers... so I'm thinking that the bologna is not just sliced in rounds like for a sandwich.

Sorry, but I'm the type that needs detailed info in a recipe! I can follow recipes to a T... but please don't leave anything up to MY interpretation! You never know what the end product will be ;)

This sounds like something my family would love.... if I can just pin down the details.

Thanks!!

Starlight--Not crackers, cocktail rye is a dense bread that is packaged in those little cello wrapped 2 inch square loaves.

(Slice the bologna crosswise into little discs that will sit nicely on a 2" square piece of rye.)

The only bologna around here is either Lebanon bologna in the deli case at the grocery store or bologna lunch meat like Oscar Meyer.

I found the Ring Bologna in the self serve deli section near the pre-packaged cole slaw, potato salad, hummus, etc.... Johnsonville brand is nationally available I think - you might ask your grocery to special order it from them....

I am having a hard time figuring out how bologna can ever be delicious and how that sliced 4" round gets eaten but obviously I don't know what ring bologna is.

ring balogna is not like regular baloney...it has more the texture of brat wurst and is spicier....it's not made of "meat paste" like baloney and some hot dogs.
Snackers are pretty much slices of ring balogna and slices of onions, in a pickling brine...served on a slice of cocktail rye.

ci lantro, these are more a finger snack than something to put on a cracker but you could. My son loves to serve them along with pickled eggs and wings for football noshing.

Ring bologna is much smaller in diameter than regular bologna. Closer in size to kielbasa.

Sorry starlightfarm, I should have addressed my post to you not ci lantro.

I just went back and looked at Linda's recipe and see that she mentions the rye rounds. I'll have to give that a try, we've always just eaten "them out of hand"
