[CnD] maple candied yams
MAPLE CANDIED YAMS 1 stick butter 4 or 5 large fresh yams or sweet potatoes 1/2 cup maple syrup 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1 tsp. cinnamon OR 1 tsp. vanilla 1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg 1/2 tsp. freshly grated ginger root 1/2 tsp. sea salt 2 to 2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows (optional) Preheat oven to 400°F. Peel yams or sweet potatoes (either may be used). Cut into 1 inch cubes or wedges. Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish generously. Arrange yams in baking dish. In a saucepan, melt butter, and stir sugar until dissolved over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup water and spices. Bring to a boil, add maple syrup; reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Pour butter mixture over the yams, turning them over to coat well. Cover the yams tightly with aluminum foil and bake on center rack in oven, basting the potatoes with the butter syrup once or twice during the baking for about 45 minutes or until fork tender. Cooks Note: If adding mini-marshmallows, spread them evenly over the top of the potatoes at this time, and broil for 5-10 minutes or until lightly browned, otherwise proceed with next step. When the potatoes are done, remove foil. Bake on the upper third of the oven at 475°F until the syrup has thickened and the potatoes are just beginning to caramelize (about 20 minutes - but watch carefully and do not allow them to burn; if they are browning too quickly reduce oven temperature). Baste with additional butter before serving. Variation: Use honey or Karo syrup instead of the maple syrup; add 1/4 cup frozen orange concentrate. Omit cinnamon; use vanilla. ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark

Re: [CnD] Prepairing Ribs
It is probably too late. But for the future, place the ribs in a pan and cover with coke or pepsi. Let simmer on the stove in this for 2 hours. After that take the meat out of the pan and place in a casserole dish or roasting pan. Pour Sweet Baby Rays bar B Que sauce over the meat and heat in the oven for 30 minutes on 350. -Original Message- From: cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Blaine Deutscher Sent: Sunday, November 06, 2011 2:37 PM To: Cooking in the Dark Subject: [CnD] Prepairing Ribs Hello there.

Re: [CnD] Prepairing Ribs
Hi Blaine, How to…. Make Perfect Pork Ribs There are two basic kinds of pork ribs: back ribs and side ribs. Back vs. Side Ribs Back ribs generally have more meat and are more tender, than side ribs, thus they are often more expensive as well. The bones (ribs) on back ribs are small and more rounded in cross-section than those of side ribs. Less expensive than back ribs, side ribs have a great flavour, but are generally less tender, and so need a longer cooking time. Special Varieties of Ribs "Country Style Ribs" are cut from the same loin portion as the back ribs but the loin meat is intact. The loin is then split open ("butterflied") to create a thick flat piece of meat. They are great for grilling or smoking. Country style ribs have more lean meat than rib bone, so will take a bit longer to cook than back or side ribs. "Baby Back Ribs" are identical in every way to regular back ribs - (the name likely came from a chef trying to make his or her dish sound even more enticing)! "St. Louis Style Ribs" are side ribs that have been trimmed in a certain way by the butcher - the breast bone has been removed and flank meat has been trimmed away, making them the preferred format for the barbecue. "Sweet and Sour Ribs" are side ribs labelled "centre portion removed" and have had a narrow strip removed from the top portion of the rib rack. "Spare Ribs" are identical in every way to regular side ribs; this term is more common in the US. Buying Guide: Allow at least one pound (500 g) raw weight of ribs per person, depending on what other food is being served at the meal. Two pork back rib racks will usually serve 3 guests, while one side pork rack would serve two guests. Cooking Guide: Back & Side Ribs Preparation: On the concave surface of all ribs is a thin, translucent membrane. This membrane is tough and will prevent any flavouring to get to the rib meat, and so should be removed. To remove membrane: Insert a metal spoon handle under the membrane at one end of the rib rack and detach a corner. Then grab the detached flap and gently tear it away from the ribs. It should come off in one clean pull. DO NOT BOIL your Pork Ribs: this has been the accepted method for generations, but there is a better way! If using a dry rub, apply to the ribs. One back rib rack will need about one tablespoon (15 mL) of rub, a side rib rack will need two tablespoons (30 mL). In a cookie sheet or shallow roasting pan, add about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) of water. Add a few slices of lemon or orange to the pan. Place the ribs, meaty side up, on the pan in a single layer. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and place in oven at 325°F (160°C). Back Ribs: Cook for between 1 and 1 and a half hours, or until meat is easily pierced with a metal skewer. Side Ribs: Cook for between 1 and a half and 2 hours, or until meat is easily pierced with a metal skewer. Tip: At this stage the ribs can be cooled and refrigerated for up to three days. To Finish Cooking: Ribs can be finished on the BBQ (grilled) or in the oven. To finish in the oven, remove foil and turn oven up to broil, brush ribs with your favourite BBQ sauce and broil for about 3 minutes (if ribs are hot) or until sizzling and golden. Turn ribs over and repeat with BBQ sauce and broil again. For the ultimate ribs, repeat brushing sauce and broiling or BBQing on each side. Watch carefully when broiling, so that they do not burn. Tip: Cooking times can be reduced by adding HOT liquid to baking tray. Tip: Line the cookie sheet or roasting pan with parchment paper if you are going to finish the ribs in the oven (under the broiler). Tip: Cooking times will vary depending on how many rib racks are being cooked at once; more ribs means a longer cooking time. -- Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.

Here are some tips to make things read easier. First, deleting extra lines of blank space from a recipe when you send it makes the recipe flow better for a screen reader and makes it easier on those of us who extract recipes into a standard format. I've just finished processing about fifty recipes from this list in the last three or four days that I saved since I joined the list, and it took a while, and my most common task was killing all the extra lines in the messages. Taking a minute or two when you send out a recipe will make things easier to read and easier on those saving in specific formats. Second, if you're using a Windows machine here's something neat. (I know Mac's can do this too, but I don't know the codes) Hold down your ALT key and, with the number pad lock on, type the following numbers: 248 ° (If you put an F or C after it Jaws users will even hear it say Fahrenheit or Celsius after it says the word Degrees) 0188 ¼ 0189 ½ 0190 ¾ These are much easier to follow when listening to the screen reader and also make for cleaner files. Some of you may notice I use some single and two letter abbreviations for things. This is because I keep all recipes in the old Meal Master format, using their blind friendly format option. (As far as I know this old DOS program is the only recipe management program that made an effort to accommodate us) I post a legend at the end of all messages I send now, but here are some of the standard abbreviations I use: c cup ea Each ts teaspoon tb tablespoon qt quart pt pint g gallon ds dash bn bunch cn can pk package bx box sm small md medium lg large oz ounce lb pound There are others, but these are the ones I can think of now. One more thing -- it really helps if recipes have serving amounts. Sometimes I can calculate them based on weights and volume, but it's a lot easier if they include them.

(As far as I know this old DOS program is the only recipe management program that made an effort to accommodate us) I post a legend at the end of all messages I send now, but here are some of the standard abbreviations I use: c cup ea Each ts teaspoon tb tablespoon qt quart pt pint g gallon ds dash bn bunch cn can pk package bx box sm small md medium lg large oz ounce lb pound There are others, but these are the ones I can think of now. One more thing -- it really helps if recipes have serving amounts. Sometimes I can calculate them based on weights and volume, but it's a lot easier if they include them. So if you know, please include them -- it makes it a lot easier to figure out how much needs to be made. Hope some of this helps folks.

Hey Jerry, I will try to find it, but there is a chart that can tell you the types of energy that you can get from certain foods. Meaning Carbs Calories Fat ETC. - Original Message - From: "Jerry Mader" To: Sent: Saturday, November 05, 2011 4:09 PM Subject: Re: [CnD] Recipe Formatting Tips (Moderator Approved) Thanks so much for this. I'm so happy that you shared these with us. Because it's easier to hear jaws say "one half" then 1/2 lol. But yeah it would be cool also when posting if you could tell how much carbs are in something because I have diabetes and so I have to watch my carb count. If you can't do this it's ok too but I f you can please state it that'd be great.

Here are some tips to make things read easier. First, deleting extra lines of blank space from a recipe when you send it makes the recipe flow better for a screen reader and makes it easier on those of us who extract recipes into a standard format. I've just finished processing about fifty recipes from this list in the last three or four days that I saved since I joined the list, and it took a while, and my most common task was killing all the extra lines in the messages. Taking a minute or two when you send out a recipe will make things easier to read and easier on those saving in specific formats. Second, if you're using a Windows machine here's something neat.
