Is this a recipes list?

[Guest guest]

Been lurking for a week or two now, and it seems that people want to talk

about scams and not crockpot (vegan) recipes (which, in theory, the list is

about).

 

Here's one I finally wrote online a year ago. FYI, Mark

 

----------

Apple " Old Faithful " (Copyright 2001 by Mark Sutton, vegetus (AT) hoodel (DOT) Feel

---- lightly spray 3.5 qt. crockpot with olive oil spray (could lightly soy

butter sides of c'pot)

---- 1 1/2 C chopped dried apricots

---- 1 1/2 C raisins

---- 5 Med to Large Apples 1/4 -1/2 " quartered-slices (cut wider if

planning to cook longer.. I used a couple of different types of apples...

point is to get close to the top of the crockpot)

---- 2 T lemon juice

---- 1 C chopped walnuts

---- 1 1/4 C Lite Brown Sugar

---- 2 t ground cinnamon

---- 1 t ground nutmeg

---- 1/2 t ground coriander

---- 1/2 t salt

---- 3 T soy margarine (dabs all over the top)

 

Layer as listed above. Mix a bit. Don't worry if something collapses (!).

It all works together on its own, you're just giving it all a start.

 

LOW cooking... until done to desired " ooziness " .. gets nice an syrupy

towards the end... (5 to 7 hours.. nice temporal float for a potluc is 4

to 5 hrs.... cooked until almost done, I then stirred it a bit while the

apple slices still had some firmness... turned off until room

temperature... transport.... plug-in at potlulck on " high " ... wait 15 - 30

minutes (guess with texture of apple slices) then turn to " low " to serve...

(1) " Spiced Apple with Dried Cherries and Apricots " by Natalie Haughton,

" The Best Slow Cooker Cookbook Ever " , ISBN 0-06-017288-5.

 

MSS mods: I didn't have lemon zest, skipped the grated nutmeg and used

ground, didn't make the " crunchy topping " . I didn't use 2/3 cups dried

cherries and 1 6 oz. package choped dried apricots. Also blew off the " Ice

cream, whipped cream, or cheddar cheese slices. " Adding walnuts to this is

an easy concept from studying other recipes and doesn't make it " mine. "

 

 

(2) " Apple Brown Betty " from Mable Hoffman's Crockery Cookery, ISBN

0-553-57651-8.

 

MSS ideas: she used bread cubes, no dried fruit, or coriander (let alone a

topping), but helped with the measurements of the apples,general layering

technique, and length of cooking estimate.

 

 

(3) " Saucy Alll-Day Apples " from Sunset's " Crockery Cookbook " , ISBN

0-376-0224-8.

 

MSS finding: cook the hell out of it (8 hours) and you've got applesauce.

Yum! Hard to mess up.
