calfoxwc Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 well, it's getting to be berry season. blueberries are ripe... we have a lot more blackberries around our farm, other farms where I have permission to pick. Made 12 jelly jars of dandelion jelly, 24 jars of wild blackberry jam, we bought a couple boxes of S. Carolina peaches and I made 28 jelly jars of excellent peach jam and canned 8 pints of peaches to try canning them. Wild blackberry jam with baked chicken breasts...or with a pot roast...or ham and eggs, etc for breakfast.. rocks. We share a jar here and there with friends - haven't run out yet, but the blackberries are just now turning from green to red...they'll turn black when ripe, obviously... it will take a few weeks yet, I think. I made vidalia onion relish - canned about 10 pints of it. It's awesome on hot dogs, hamburgers, sandwiches. Last year, I picked a some wild grapes, and made grape juice. it was excellent. I want to make grape jelly this fall - the grapes are still very green. There is a Lebanese recipe, basically, instead of stuffed peppers, the stuffing gets wrapped up in grape leaves. Really good. I have had them some years ago, never made them, want to try it this fall. A LOT of grapes now. BTW, you have to be careful about the wild grapes. There is a look-a-like vine with berries.. that is very poisonous. The leaves are different, and the poison berries have only one seed in them. Edible grapes have multiple small seeds. You have to research and know what you're doing, you know. The trick to processing is to have a nice de-seeder. I bought one from a garage sale years ago - it rocks. No seeds in your jam. Takes skins off too, pretty well. Which reminds me, I want to go out and get some chicory roots and make coffee with them. Browns game with great food plus wild blackberry jam... Browns going to the PLAYOFFS ! (if we have a season) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjp28 Posted July 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 A Tuesday night special Mexican Street Corn (Elote) Elote (aka Mexican Street Corn) is a common street food in Mexico, hence the nickname. It's often served on a stick, though you could skip the skewer and make it right on the grill, like you would traditional corn on the cob. If you're having trouble finding cotija cheese, you could always try feta (which has a similar texture and saltiness, though it tends to have a sharper, tangier taste), or grated parmesan. This side dish is fast enough to throw together for an easy weeknight dinner—try it with barbecue chicken or grilled steak—or, at a party, you could set up all of the toppings (adding a few wildcards, like shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon and sriracha) and create a Build Your Own Corn on the Cob Bar. That could be a thing, right? In love with this recipe? Us too! YIELDS: 4 PREP TIME: 0 HOURS 5 MINS TOTAL TIME: 0 HOURS 25 MINS INGREDIENTS 6 ears corn, shucked and cleaned 1/2 c. mayonnaise Chili powder 1/3 c. Grated cotija cheese. (or substitutes) Freshly chopped cilantro Lime wedges, for serving This ingredient shopping module is created and maintained by a third party, and imported onto this page. You may be able to find more information about this and similar content on their web site. DIRECTIONS Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill corn, turning often, until slightly charred all over, about 10 minutes. Brush corn with a layer of mayonnaise and sprinkle with chili powder, cotija, and cilantro. Serve warm with lime wedges.

ballpeen Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 On 6/1/2020 at 11:57 AM, mjp28 said: I ran across this article on cooking the perfect burger and would like to hear your ideas on: The Art of the Perfect Burger By Ezra Brooks Bourbon May 21, 2020 | Lifestyle While the Fourth of July may look a little different in 2020, there’s one thing that’s a given — the all-American burger is a staple for that day. As it stands, it’s the undisputed star of any summer grilling menu, and with a few simple steps, you can ensure you’re putting a perfect burger on everyone’s plate. First off, if you’re new to grilling, review our basic techniques suggestions here. But also keep in mind that if a grill isn’t available, you can flip a great burger right out of your kitchen skillet, too. Burger Trifecta Everyone thinks they’re a burger expert, which is why one man’s perfectly cooked burger may be another’s overdone hockey puck. And while there may indeed be a double-decker venison burger stacked with bleu cheese, avocado, bacon, and portobello mushroom in your culinary future, it’s better to just get the three basics right first — burger, bun, and the all-important condiments. Start simple and all will be well. The most important thing is to think fresh: steer clear of pre-packaged burgers and head to the local bakery for the buns. Meet the Meat A great burger is all about the meat, and the best meat will have a decent amount of fat in it to keep it juicy after cooking. You have choices here, but you can’t go wrong with buying ground beef chuck at the meat counter. When you’re ready to make your burgers, gently form round patties of about six ounces each, or slightly larger than those fresh buns you have (to allow for shrinkage during cooking). Again, emphasis on gently — you want the patties loose, as this makes for a juicier burger. Don’t pack them into tightly formed patties. Note: Some people suggest mixing an egg or breadcrumbs with the meat as a binding agent — we don’t. We like the meat to stand on its own. Plus, overhandling the meat with lots of aggressive mixing just makes your burger less tender. A classic tip is to make to a small thumb indentation in the middle of the burger to keep it flat while cooking, rather than plumping up and tempting you to press your spatula down on the patty while it’s on the grill. (That just squeezes the juices out of the meat, so don’t do it.) Lastly, don’t forget to liberally season the burgers with salt (we prefer kosher salt, as the flakes are bigger) and pepper before placing them on a well-seasoned grill. Bring the Heat Cook the burgers on medium-high to high heat and flip as seldom as possible. About four minutes a side should put you in medium territory. If you’re cooking a bunch of burgers to different orders plan ahead: divide the grill into sections, put the well-done order on first, then medium, then rare, and take them off in reverse order. Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger While there are a variety of cheeses to choose from, a classic cheeseburger really requires the cheese slice to be melted over the burger in the final moments of cooking. American cheese is the hands-down go-to standard, but cheese is your launching pad for future experimentation. Stacking It Up To toast or not to toast the bun is also a personal choice. If you are grilling a lot of burgers it can get hectic attending to double the number of bun halves as well. Consider browning them slowly in the oven instead. We like a toasted bun because it’s less likely to fall apart as easily. When it comes to actually building the burger, there is no real wrong way. But there are better ways. Our personal preference is placing lettuce on the bottom bun first, followed by pickles and onions, then the meat — the lettuce on bottom helps prevent the meat juices from soaking the bottom bun and turning your burger into a soggy mess. If you like tomato, that should go on top of the meat — again, you’re keeping juice away from the bottom bun, plus, if you have cheese on top of your burger, the tomato melds with the melted cheese and has less of a tendency to slide off your burger (see, there is an art to this). Plenty of people prefer to build their burgers with all the toppings on top of the burger, though, so to each their own. If you’re doing that with a cheeseburger, if you put your patty cheese-side down on the lower bun, that can help prevent a soggy bottom bun as well. Burgers and Bourbon Even a basic burger is a juicy taste extravaganza, and a sturdy bourbon will be the best accompaniment. That’s why we opt for the 117 proof, barrel strength of Old Ezra 7 Year to sip alongside our best grilled creations. The mixture of America’s favorite meal and the rich complexities of Old Ezra 7 Year may just prompt a call for seconds. So what can be better than a burger hot off the grill ? Remember GAMEDAY meals and tailgating may be coming up soon. Ummmmm, bon appetit ! Got to pack them loose. Tight ruins them. Also, 80/20 meat. Got to have fat. Don't season. Season after cooking, and for goodness sake, don't press them in to the grill or pan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballpeen Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 My tomato sauce...the best ever 1 large can of Cento San Marzano tomato's...if you need more, double everything salt to taste...you may need to adjust as you cook. 3/4 stick butter...real butter, not some fake crap 1 large onion Cut peeled onion from pole to pole, not on equator.. You don't want onion in the sauce at the end. Cutting from stem to root holds it together. Simmer covered about 3-4 hours. Stir on a regular basis to break up the tomato's. Don't break up the onion. You want the onion flavor, you don't want the chunks of onion in the sauce. A long low simmer kills the acid in a tomato. Remove onion and simmer uncovered until you reach your desired thickness. Maybe 45 minutes or so. If it gets too thick, you can always add some water back in to thin out a bit. The tomato's already have basil in the can. It comes out a creamy perfect. I am a purest, I don't add garlic or oregano, but if you insist, whatever floats your boat. Try it my way, if you think it needs more, you and add garlic or garlic powder and oregano at the end, a tad more water and simmer another 20 minutes to infuse the flavor..they are strong seasonings, it doesn't take long for them to impart flavor. Just remember, with a tomato, salt brings out the flavor. It just does. Just start with a level tablespoon, and adjust up a bit from there. Trust me, you won't over salt it at that point. Take a taste every hour or so. Things change as things cook. No batch is the same because no tomato is the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted July 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Something that I learned long ago in my 15 years of doing GAMEDAY meals online over three sites or our 100+ cookbook collection or a lifetime of planning and cooking good food go to good sources for your recipes, cookbooks and information on food. One of the best places is the manufacturers and suppliers of food themselves for good kitchen tested recipes. There are hundreds of places online to get recipes some just aren't as good or the recipes need work. Check out the Cento site for some good ideas, looks good ! https://www.cento.com/index.php ......edit add, my wife just told me that San Marzano tomatoes are one of our favorite cooks Ina Garten's "go to" tomatoes, and we love the Barefoot Contessa's stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
