Default IBeDraggin'

The Great Minnesota Get-Together starts a week from tomorrow. Yesterday
I took my 20 canning entries in for judging (won't know the outcome
until the 26th). We are having some incredibly spectacular baking
weather today so that's what I'm doing.

I registered five yeast breads (they'll be delivered for judging on
Sunday) just for the helluva it. I haven't baked any bread in about
1-1/2 years, I think. If I've said I have, I lied. :0/ I baked my
white bread on Sunday and, m'friends, it is perfect in my sight. The
entry loaf is in the freezer. Today, I've made the Whole Wheat stuff,
another batch of white just for the heckuva it, and currently have the
raisin bread dough raising. The two left are herb bread and rye bread.
I've won ribbons for the rye bread (it's a sweet rye, not a caraway),
the wheat, and The White Bread (my Triumph!!!). We'll see what this
years' judges think when they sample the goods on Sunday afternoon.

For the baking class, I also entered both boy and girl brownies, and
oatmeal cookies. I'm trying to think of a way to jazz up the boy
brownies - they can have frosting; the girl brownies cannot.

OK, here's what I hauled over for the canning lots: Apricot butter.
Jams: Apricot, Blackberry, Cherry, Peach, Raspberry, Strawberry,
Apricot-Mango-Pineapple. Jellies: Blackberry, Crabapple, Pepper, Plum
Raspberry, Strawberry, Cherry-Pomegranate, Cherry. Bread and Butter
Pickles. Watermelon Pickles. Peach-Apricot Chutney. Corn Relish.
IBePooped.

The best part? Chris is coming home this weekend! We'll go the fair
together on opening day. Yippee!

Are you experienced in freezing an entry loaf? I'd be scared to death it
would be marred or dry or something if not made right up at the last
minute? But then whadda I know? I've never done this fair stuff. I
always enjoy living it vicariously through you, though

What about something like a jamocha glaze? You know boys love their coffee?

So how did your chutney finish up, Barb? You were wondering how runny/thick
it should be. I was tempted to tell you about my mother's tomato/apple
chutney, which was very moist but didn't run at all when it was put on a
plate.

Good luck at the fair!

It's thick and very little liquid -- like, none. If it had more sugar
in it, it might be the consistency of a well-made jam. Thick, holds its
shape, but soft. I think it's tasty, too. A nice little bit of sneaky
residual heat. Thanks for asking, Dora. And for the good wishes.

Ayup. The frozen is very nice. I'll take it out either late the night
before I truck it in, or else very early in the morning of same. Vewwy
nice and moist when judged.

T'anks. It's not a life or death thing if I lose (the odds are that I
will not win first place). I do it for laughs and bragging rights for
a couple sisters. I may be nuts but there's no way I'm gonna spend the
whole day before doing it when today's weather is SPECTACULAR and God
only knows what Saturday's will be and besides I have to shovel some
room for the Firstborn. Yeay!! I am such a mom!

Hmmmm. I'll give it consideration. I was thinking of a piped rosette
of chocolate with a pecan or dusting of finely chopped walnuts on top.
Or maybe raspberry and chocolate icing. That'd be interesting. I think
I've got some raspberry jelly around here that I could fiddle with.
Yeah, good idea.

My God, Man, make some!!! Didn't I tell you you could do this? It's
not rocket science and the recipe is easily halved or thirded, I bet.
Thirded. I like that. You don't have to process it and it will
keep forever in the fridge in a jar. So make a quart!

* Exported from MasterCook Mac *

Barb Schaller's Blue Ribbon Corn Relish

Recipe By : Barb Schaller (OK, her sister Mary - but she's dead)
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Canning, Preserves, Etc.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
10-12 large tender ears of corn
1 green pepper -- minced
1/2 red pepper -- minced (1/2 to 1)
1 large yellow onion -- minced
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon celery seeds
1 1/4 teaspoons dry mustard
1 1/3 cups cider vinegar
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon turmeric

Cut corn kernels from cobs. You want pictures? I've got pictures. Use
a knife. Combine the corn kernels with remaining ingredients in a
large pot and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low and simmer for a half
hour. Pour into hot, sterilized preserving jars, cover, and seal.
Process in a boiling water bath for 20 minutes (MN altitude adjustment).
Yield: About 4 pints.

A great recipe. I made 12 pints this summer. Also made it a couple
of years ago.

There's no loss of quality when the breads are frozen? I've had
people complain that our freezer breads taste "stale", even after
only 1 day in the double-bagged deep freeze.

There is a conspicuous omission which will cost you a blue ribbon.
Actually, it will probably cost you several - for the judges will be
sorely disappointed, even depressed. Tant pis.
