Caribou Mincemeat Pie Recipe

2 c Apple cider

1 c Raisins

1/2 c Dried currants

1 1/2 c Apples; peeled and chopped

1/4 lb Ground caribou meat

1 ts Ground cinnamon

1 ts Ground cloves

1 ts Ground ginger

1/2 ts Ground nutmeg

1/4 c Brandy or dark rum

1 Pastry recipe

In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, combine cider, raisins, and currants. Cover and heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add apples, caribou, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, salt, nutmeg, and allspice. Simmer 2 hours longer. Add water as necessary to keep mincemeat from sticking to saucepan. Cool mincemeat to room temperature, add the liquor and let sit at least overnight before making pies. Mincemeat can be kept in a cool place in a stone crock for 2 weeks, canned or frozen. If frozen, thaw mincemeat before making pie. Prepare pastry and refrigerate until ready to use-at least 30 minutes. Heat oven to 350'F. Divide pastry; roll out bottom crust and roll out and cut strips for a top lattice. Carefully spoon mincemeat into crust-lined pie plate. Place pastry strips one at a time across mincemeat to create a woven grid. Lift edge of bottom crust over ends of strips. Pinch together and flute edge. Bake pie 50 to 55 minutes or until crust is lightly browned and filling bubbles. Cool 10 minutes on wire rack before cutting. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

Jeff's Favorite Barbecue Brisket Recipe

6 lb Beef brisket

Smoker for cooking 10 lb Charcoal

1/4 lb Mesquite wood

Basting sauce Barbecue sauce This is a perfect way to spend a day, and makes a meal fit for a king! It really takes a smoker to make this successfully, but creative folks can use whatever's handy. Select a good quality beef brisket. Trim off excess fat and store in refrigerator until ready to barbecue. If you wish, marinade the meat for additional flavor or tenderness. A good marinade can consist of water, Worcestershire Sauce, Soy Sauce, pepper, lime or lemon juice - whatever you like! (No Salt, though) Start 8 lbs. of the charcoal and allow coals to develop gray ash over all before beginning to cook. Reserve the remaining 2 lbs. for adding when needed later. Add wood that has been soaking in water for an hour or so. Cook the meat on a grate approx. 8 inches over the coals, adding charcoal and wood to fire as needed. It isn't necessary to keep a heavy smoke at all times, just 1/2 of the cooking time. Use a meat thermometer to determine doneness of meat to your preference. If the smoker has an indicator for temperature, a low heat is fine. Coals and wood tend to burn at lower temperatures when enclosed in a smoker. While cooking, it is essential to baste often with the basting sauce. Usually every 10 minutes or even less will ensure a juicy and delicious brisket. If basting with another sauce, remember that anything containing sugar or tomato will burn, leaving a scorched flavor. That's especially true with meats cooked over long periods of time. Serve with the warmed barbecue sauce and breads, beans, salad or potatoes. Enjoy!

Jim's Teriyaki Marinade And Bbq Sauce Recipe

1 c Soy Sauce

1 c Water

2 tb Vinegar

2 tb Brown Sugar

1 ts Dry Mustard

1/2 ts Powdered Ginger

1/2 ts Garlic Powder

1 ts Hot Pepper Sauce, opt'l

2 tb Corn Starch

Whisk together all the ingredients except the corn starch. Marinade the meat long enough to flavor and tenderize- 1 hr for young chicken breasts or fish, overnight for round steak and up to 5 days for some game cuts. BBQ and baste with the marinade. Make a slurry of the starch and a little water and whisk into the marinade. Bring to a boil, stirring as the sauce thickens. Serve with the BBQ'd meat. Real garlic and ginger only improves this dish. The amount of pepper sauce can be varied from mild to fiery. You can substitute wine, sherry, orange or pineapple juice for some or all of the water to vary the flavor. Pineapple juice has an enzyme that provides additional tenderizing power to the vinegar and mustard.
