And Here Is Today's Recipe!

I will be away at "Sheriff's Camp" this week- a camp for at-risk youth that is held in Bannock County Idaho each summer. This is one of the recipes that will be served to the children and camp staff at camp. The inmates and kitchen staff at Bannock County Jail have spent much time and effort helping to prepare a wonderful variety of food for this year's camp. Enjoy!

My husband and I work different shifts and I want to be able to freeze "TV dinner"-like meals. Is this possible with this (Once A Month Cooking) system? There are only the two of us. Thank you,

I make this crockpot applesauce recipe for my family in summer and fall and it usually only lasts a day! My children like it warm by itself or as a dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Holly Fort Wayne, IN          metsfan@rexnet.net

10 large apples, peeled, cored and chopped (I use a combination of Granny Smith and Red Delicious because my family prefers the tart/sweet flavor)
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 T lemon juice
1 cup sugar

Put all ingredients into crockery cooker. Cover and cook on low 8 to 10 hours.

Here are two crockpot apple butter recipes for Myra. If you have never water-bathed anything, put a rack in the bottom of a tall pot, put 4 pint jars with lids on to see where you need to add water to - water should be 1 1/2 inches over top of the jars to allow for water loss while bringing the water to a boil. Bring water to a boil, immerse hot jars, bring back to a rolling boil and keep at a rolling boil for at least 10 minutes. If you have a pressure canner (not a pressure cooker) you can process at 10 lbs for 10 minutes (my preference). Start timing when the weighted dial reaches 10 lbs. or when the pressure stop starts to jiggle continuously.

Apple Butter

7 cups applesauce, unsweetened
2 cups apple cider
1 1/2 cups honey
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. allspice

In a crock pot, mix all ingredients. Cover and cook on low heat for 14 to 15 hours, or until the mixture is deep brown. Pack while hot into 4 hot pint jars. Process in hot-water bath for 10 minutes, counting the time after the jars have been immersed and the water comes again to a rolling boil. Makes 4 pints.

Crockpot Apple Butter

5 1/2 lbs. apples, peeled and chopped
4 cups sugar
2-3 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cloves

Place apples in crockpot. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over apples and mix well. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook for 9-11 hours or until thickened and dark brown, stirring occasionally (stir more frequently as it thickens to prevent sticking.) Uncover and cook on low 1 hour longer. If desired stir with a whisk until smooth. Spoon into freezer containers or jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Cover and cool; refrigerate or freeze. Yield: 4 pints     pdeck@bellsouth.net

This is for Myra, who wants to make applesauce in her crock pot: My children and I pick apples each year, and I have made our applesauce this way for many years:

Homemade Applesauce

10 cooking apples (we use whatever kind we have)
1/2 cup water
juice of 1/2 lemon (or 1 Tablespoon concentrated lemon juice)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup brown sugar (can omit, if you want sugar-free)
optional: 1/2 cup raisins, 1/4 cup tiny hard cinnamon candies, and/or 1/4 cup chopped nuts

Slice and peel apples. Combine and stir together all ingredients in a crock pot. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until fruit is tender and of the consistency you desire. (I stir my every other hour or so, because, sometimes it cooks faster and is ready earlier). You can put the applesauce into clean canning jars; cover with the lid (no water bath is necessary) and freeze for up to 6 months.

MK Holmes was asking about a home-made version of sports drinks. Here is one that I found from a Google search:

Switchel

This is not a syrup -- the honey IS a syrup. You just make it up as you need it. I suggest the traditional unglazed pottery jug to serve it from. It keeps it cooler.

1 gallon water
1 cup honey
1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1 cup cider vinegar

Note, it will take some effort to mix it properly if you are using cold water. Try mixing the honey and vinegar first and gradually adding the water, mixing all the while. You can also make it with lemon juice instead of the cider vinegar -- it has more vitamin C, but less potassium, I wouldn't use it as a Gatorade substitute except with the cider vinegar.

My daughter worked as an athletic trainer for a rugby club and used to cut Gatorade 50-50 with water as she found that its concentration of sugar was too strong "in the heat of battle" and made the players nauseous. If the football team has a doctor, perhaps (s)he can recommend some other way of treating leg cramps.
