Title: CATHE’S STUFFED MUSHROOMS
Categories: Appetizers, Cathe
Yield: 1 batch

1/2 lb Mushrooms (w/ big caps)
1 md Onion, chopped finely
1/2 c Clam juice
3 T Sauterne wine
1/4 c Bread crumbs
3 T Butter
1/2 c Half and half
3 T Parmesan cheese

Pop stems out of shrooms (don’t tear cups). Cut stems up finely. Saute
shrooms and onions in butter (or olive oil) slowly, over medium-low heat,
until limp; be careful not to let mixture burn.

Add clam juice and wine; cook slowly until most of the liquid has
evaporated. Add bread crumbs to shroom mixture in pan; mix well. Should
be quite dry.

Add half and half until mixture has a good texture, like slightly dampish
clay for hand-building pottery. Add parmesan.

Fill mushroom caps with mixture (will have to mound). Bake in toaster
oven at 250 degrees F. until mushrooms start looking shriveled and ooze
juice, getting brown. If unsure, taste.

Vicki’s notes:

* Don’t cut mushrooms too finely.

* Try adding crumbled bacon to mixture.

Title: Tomato Juice
Categories: Beverages, Canning
Yield: 1 text

Quantity: An average of 23 pounds is needed per canner load of 7 quarts,
or an average of 14 pounds per canner load of 9 pints. A bushel weighs
53 pounds and yields 15 to 18 quarts of juice–an average of 3-1/4
pounds per quart.

Procedure: Wash, remove stems, and trim off bruised or discolored
portions. To prevent juice from separating, quickly cut about 1 pound of
fruit into quarters and put directly into saucepan. Heat immediately to
boiling while crushing. Continue to slowly add and crush freshly cut
tomato quarters to the boiling mixture. Make sure the mixture boils
constantly and vigorously while you add the remaining tomatoes. Simmer 5
minutes after you add all pieces. If you are not concerned about juice
separation, simply slice or quarter tomatoes into a large saucepan.
Crush, heat, and simmer for 5 minutes before juicing.

Press both types of heated juice through a sieve or food mill to remove
skins and seeds. Add bottled lemon juice or citric acid to jars (See
acidification instructions). Heat juice again to boiling. Add 1 teaspoon
of salt per quart to the jars, if desired. Fill jars with hot tomato
juice, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Adjust lids and process following to
the instructions in Table 1, Table 2, or Table 3 according to the method
of canning used.

NOTE: This section of the guide appears to contain some sort of error
in the information given within Table 3 above. In the USDA book, there
are only TWO sizes of jars specified in the table, but there are THREE
separate lines of figures in the table, and it is not completely clear
which jar size the second and third entries refer to. I have given the
second entry’s numbers as those to be used for Quart jars, and below I
have reprinted the third entry on the table, for an unknown jar size.

Title: SWEET POTATO, APPLE AND ONION GRATIN
Categories: Vegetables, Cheese
Yield: 12 servings

1 lb Sweet potatoes,peel slice
2 tb Unsalted butter (1/4 stick)
1 lb Onions, thinly sliced
3/4 lb Granny Smith apples, peeled
Cored thin sliced
3 tb Flour
1/2 c Chicken stock or broth
3/4 c Fresh breadcrumbs
3/4 c Cheddar, sharp,coarse grated
6 Lean bacon slices, cooked

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter 13X6 inch oval
baking dish. Slice sweet potatoes into 1/4″ thick
slices. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium
heat. Add onions and saute until tender, about 10
minutes. Toss apples with flour in medium bowl.
Arrange half of sweet potatoes in bottom of prepared
dish. Top with half of apple slices. Arrange remaining
potatoes and then remaining apples. Cover with sauteed
onions. Pour stock over all. Bake until sweet potatoes
are tender, about 45 minutes. Maintain oven
temperature. Mix breadcrumbs, cheese and bacon
(crumbled) in small bowl. Sprinkle mixture over
gratin. Bake an additional 20 minutes. Preheat
broiler. Broil until topping browns. (This has not
been necessary any time I have made this recipe as the
oven browns the topping just fine for me). Cool 5
minutes and serve. Substitution: Use Butternut or
Acorn squash instead of the sweet potatoes. Source:
