Ball Cucumber Sandwich Pickles
Comments (2)Deborah, to me they are like "inbetween" a sweet and a bread n butter. Almost like a "light" bread n butter. The difference in them than all others simply must be the brown sugar, as I can't really distinguish much in the others I have done. As far as fermenting, I just followed the Ball book directions to the T. As with other recipes that take a long time for "de salting", this recipe only has a standing time of about three hours. These can be made in one day. I can't stop eating them! I'm not a particular pickle eater, as some I know are very picky and want them just right. So this one caught me off guard by being "just right" for connecting with a childhood memory....See MoreWhat's for New Year's Day dinner and where will you eat it?
Comments (52)We were at a gathering of my wife's family in Vermont for New Years. I was volunteered to cook dinner on New Year's eve. I wasn't quite sure what to make but the two previous nights there was Jambalaya, then Chicken Enchiladas, I felt I had to go in a different direction. At first I was planning and buying ingredients to make an Irish Beef Stew, for about 25 people, but after getting back to the house from the store and remembering that I had brought a container of the spice blend Ras el Hanout, I decided to change it up and make Moroccan Beef Stew. Whatever that is, :-) I had purchased about 13 lbs of sirloin roast, plus onions, carrots, parsnips, green peas, and yukon gold potatoes, I decided that the onions, carrots and parsnips would work, but I should not use the potatoes and should instead use sweet potatoes. Fortuitously a nephew had brought a large box of carrots, winter squash, and sweet potatoes from his nearby farm, so i felt I was good to go. I cubed the meat, and liberally sprinkled it with the spice blend, plus some cumin, coriander, and cinnamon, which were probably in the blend but not enough, and left the meat sit in the walk-in-fridge/unheated garage overnight. The next afternoon I started cutting up the vegetables, and browning the meat, and started two pots simmering with the meat and onions. After a couple of hours, I also cubed a butternut squash, and roasted it, and then added all of the vegetables to the stew, and cooked it another 45 minutes. Someone else helped out by making a large rice pilaf, (although couscous would have been a better option) and although I felt the stew wasn't quite thick enough, everyone raved about how good it tasted. After a little more refinement to the recipe I think it will be a real winner....See MoreFloof! Sandwiches!!!!
Comments (55)Favorite sandwich? Hm-m-m-m-m-m. . . . . . Tough question. If I'm making it at home, probably liverwurst (or Braunschweiger) with a very thin slice of onion on buttered German pumpernickel. Not the soft, Americanized pumpernickel, but the solid kind, that comes from Germany. Or Limburger, also with a thin slice of onion, also on the same kind of pumpernickel, buttered. Or maybe a grilled cheese, with a slice of colby and a slice of Monterey Jack and a very thin slice of deli ham. Occasionally a thin slice of sweet onion, too. Actually, any kind of cheese is good on a grilled sandwich, EXCEPT Velveeta, or American cheese. I never buy either. Nor do I ever buy white bread. My current favorite bread is from Walmart's bakery dept, "12 Grain and Seed Sandwich Bread". I love that stuff! Even occasionally eat just a bread and butter sandwich, as long as I have a GOOD (Kerrygold) butter on hand. If I eat a sandwich out, I guess a good Reuben is my first choice. I would also like a good egg salad sandwich, if anyone around here offered them. One grocery store deli here has a turkey salad sandwich that has cranberries and walnuts, served on their own 10 grain bread. I like it a lot, too. There really aren't many options to choose from, sandwich wise, around here. Rusty...See MoreOther sandwich fillings
Comments (45)I make salmon salad, which is one of the few ways I will eat canned salmon. Besides salmon, it has lemon juice, mayo, green onions (or chives), and tomatoes. Normally I mix chopped tomatoes into the salad, but if I have large tomatoes, I can hollow them out and fill them with the other ingredients. I will also make salmon croquettes with canned salmon, and that can be made into a sandwich or a wrap. I made a wrap today with a whole wheat tortilla that I heated with grated Jarlsberg, and when the cheese was melted, I added tuna salad and lettuce. I make omelet sandwiches frequently for my lunch when I am alone, and I add sautéed mushrooms, ham, and Provolone cheese to the omelet. I have it on one piece of toast, and so it is an open-face sandwich, if you will. In Mexico, puréed pinto beans is used as a condiment, spread on a toasted split bolillo with ham or turkey to make a torta. I make this often myself, but I make burritos and tacos more often. Do you get corn tortillas in Australia? I had trouble finding them in Vancouver in 1978 - they were only in the freezer section....See MoreFun2BHere
