Cook Time: Cholesterol per serving: Marks: INGREDIENTS ------------------------------------------------------------ 3 lb ham 1 qt apple, dried 2 Tbsp brown sugar 2 cup flour milk 4 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp pepper 1 egg, well beaten 3 Tbsp butter, melted 1 tsp salt DIRECTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------ *** My notes: I think the recipes in this cookbook all assume using a whole, uncooked ham. I would omit the step of boiling ham for 3 hours if using a cooked ham. Pick over and wash dried apples. Cover with water and let soak over night or for a number of hours. In the morning, cover ham with cold water and let boil for 3 hours. Add the apples and water in which they have been soaked and continue to boil for another hour. Add brown sugar. Make dumplings by sifting together the flour, salt, pepper and baking powder. Stir in the beaten egg, milk (enough to make fairly moist, stiff batter), and melted butter. Drop the batter by spoonfuls into the hot liquid with the ham and apples. Cover kettle tight and cook dumplings for 15 minutes. Serve piping hot on large platter.

Cook Time: Cholesterol per serving: Marks: INGREDIENTS ------------------------------------------------------------ 4 lb beef ** 1 pt vinegar water 4 bay leaf 12 whole peppercorns, black 4 whole cloves 1 bunch carrot 6 onion 1 Tbsp sugar 12 gingersnaps salt & pepper DIRECTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------ ** Use beef chuck, rump, or round. *** My notes: Watch meat while it sits and add more vinegar and water (half of each) to keep meat covered. A similar recipe in Bon Appetit used red vinegar and red wine for the marinade and the beef was left in the refrigerator for about 9 days. Wipe meat with damp cloth and then sprinkle thoroughly with salt and pepper. Place meat in an earthen dish and add vinegar and enough water to cover. Add the bay leaves, peppercorns and cloves, and let stand tightly covered for 5 days in a cool place. Cut carrots in strips; slice onions. Put meat in a dutch oven and brown well on all sides. Add the carrots and onions and 1 cup of the spiced vinegar. Cover tightly and cook over low flame about 3 hours or until meat is tender. When meat is cooked, add the sugar and crumbled ginger snaps and cook for 10 minutes. This makes delicious gravy. If necessary, more of the spiced vinegar may be added.

Cook Time: Cholesterol per serving: Marks: INGREDIENTS ------------------------------------------------------------ 3 lb pork water 1 qt sauerkraut salt & pepper DIRECTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------ Wipe piece of pork with a damp cloth, place in large stewing pan and cover with cold water. Set over flame to cook slowly for one hour. Add the sauerkraut and more water if necessary and continue cooking for another hour or until meat has become thoroughly tender. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with mashed potatoes. My notes: This is basically the same way my mom and I prepare sauerkraut and spareribs, but we add a chopped onion. My mom also used to add some chopped apple to cut down on the "sourness". This is a really simple and delicious meal, if you like sauerkraut. One of my favorites!
