jar of spicy plum butter
1 bowl of plums £1 (stratford market east london)
it tastes very fruity and spicy :) it had many hours in the slowcooker to reduce to this consistency. cooking began yesterday and ended today. the cooking is finished when you're happy with the consistency. i like it thick and butter-like, hence plum butter

plums placed in crock pot of slowcooker
sugar added
the only liquid added was lemon juice, no water
spices added cloves, cinnamon sticks & cardamon
stirred
mixture cooked on low for a few hours (cheap energy)
when soft and pulpy the sweet spicy plum mixture was blended
before blending, cinnamon sticks removed but replaced after blending
the cloves and cardamon remained in the plum mixture throughout the blending (personal preference i like it nice and spicy)
when cooking finished cinnamon sticks removed, washed, allowed to dry, and stored in the fridge to use again another day
plum butter spooned into a jar

ps i'm not recommending any of these cookery adventures. they suit my personal taste. photographing to encourage myself to eat more healthily ...
i've created a group www.flickr.com/groups/cooking_is_my_hobby/ to gather ideas and encourage myself to continue with healthy eating by learning from others if you're interested in cooking, sometimes or a lot, or enjoy the cooking of others, you're always welcome ...
This easy dish was made entirely in my solar cooker.
First I cooked up 3 chicken breasts and then shredded the meat.
I mixed it with a can of enchilada sauce, some corn, black olives and a chopped white onion.
Next I lined the bottom of my cooking pan with corn tortillas. Then I added a layer of the mixture and then more tortillas, continuing this process until I all the mixture was gone.
I grated some cheese on top and poured some more enchilada sauce over the cheese.
I let it cook for two hours in my Cookit and it came out perfect! We ate it over two days, using the solar cooker to reheat it and it only got better each time!
"better brown that meat well, we need some taste in this chilli stew" is what the Grump said when Calle was browning some beef to go into a chilli in the slow cooker. It turned out delicious, so she was right! :)
Ingredients:
- meat, here 3 lbs, 11oz of venison neck
- 2 onions
- garlic, lots
- a cup of marmalade (apricot seems best)
- 3 tablespoons or so of Dijon mustard
- 12 oz or so of beer, or perhaps half as much wine plus some water or dark stock
The ingredients are rough, because exact quantities don't matter much. This is roughly what Nathan used for this roast. Use a beef roast if Bambi's not available. Pork will cook a little differently, but the same basic method holds. Also, the alcohol can be replaced by enough dark chicken or beef stock. Alcohol helps disolve and spread flavors that aren't soluble in water.
Preparation: Dice the onion and dump it in a slow cooker. Smash the garlic and stick it in cracks in the meat. Cover the meat with mustard and place it in the slow cooker. Cover the meat with marmalade. Pour in the liquids. Turn the slow cooker to low. Go to work, etc. Come home. Eat. If you expect fewer than, say, five hours between cooking and eating, turn the cooker to high for the first hour.
Variations: You can sear and brown the roast first if you don't mind washing an extra pan. Orange marmalade seems a bit strong, but we think pairing it with a bit of ginger would work well.
Good sides: Roast vegetables and rice (or quinoa, etc.). Here the vegetables are sweet potato, parsnips, and beets. To roast most vegetables, peel them and chop them into roughly the same size pieces. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and whatever spices you want (pepper, thyme). Roast in the oven at 350°F to 400°F for around an hour, tossing them every once in a while if you want more even browning. They're done when you can easily stick a fork in them.
I'd suggest beginners avoid beets. They're not difficult, but they could be messy and hence discouraging. There is plenty of information on roasting beets on-line.
It seems every time we're making chilli and browning the beef, this little Grump calls to me to pick her up and bring her over, so she can supervise. She seems to know all about cooking, she must have been a chef before living here. ;)
Here I would also like to alert my friends and fellow fans of Myling, if you ever wanted a Myling or Blå doll, now is the time, because Katarina will retire those two sculpts after 2015. She announced it on her blog here: distractionsbymyling.typepad.com/my_weblog/2015/03/heads-...
I'm hoping I could commission one last Myling but will have to see if I can get the funds together.

I made slow cooker pulled pork yesterday using barbecue sauce from the CSA and a simple rub of paprika, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne. Quick dinner of pulled pork sandwich and sweet & tangy coleslaw was my Sunday meal. Oh yeah, and dessert was GREAT.

I am GRATEFUL for my well used Crock Pot, and the amazing smell of already cooked dinner that hits me as soon as I walk in the door.
Tonight I was especially grateful because my 8 year old daughter made this dinner mostly by herself: Creamy Garlic Chicken over Sliced Potatoes.
This recipe is for my solar slow-cooker which cooks just like a crock pot at 200-225F.
In a roasting pan, place your favorite roasting vegetables. In this case I chose white onions, pineapple chunks, fresh garden tomatoes and garlic cloves. Add the chicken on top with your favorite seasonings. I used garlic, ginger and sesame oil.
I use a Cookit and roast this dish for 2 hours in the midday sun. The chicken comes out fall-apart tender and very delicious. The veggies are cooked all the way through with the perfect amount of texture and flavor.
Put a scoop of roasted veggies over rice, add some sliced chicken and spoon some broth over it all for a complete meal.

For "Our Daily Challenge ... fashionable"
Slow cookers are back in fashion ... in the winter anyway. We were given one ... a Crock Pot ... in 1972 as a wedding gift and I used it for many years for the convenience of having dinner already cooked for the family when I got home from work. They seem to have come back into vogue in recent years and I'm wondering if it is due to the recession as tasty nutritious meals can be made from cheaper, tougher cuts of meat because the long slow cooking makes it tender.
There are now lots of cook books out and packs of "meal maker's" in supermarkets to make them even more convenient.
INGREDIENTS:
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 lb fresh turkey breast tenderloins, cut into 1/2- to 1-inch pieces
1 cup coarsely chopped carrots
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup sliced celery
1 cup uncooked wild rice
1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
2 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves
1/8 teaspoon pepper
DIRECTIONS:
1. In 10-inch skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until almost crisp. Add turkey, carrots, onion and celery; cook about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until turkey is browned.
2. Spoon mixture into 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients; mix well.
3. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 5 to 6 hours or until rice is tender, turkey is no longer pink and liquid is absorbed.
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs can be used in place of the turkey tenderloins.

The original recipe for the Ropa Veja is from here. I made a half recipe and a few minor changes.
The potato recipe was posted on www.recipesource.com/ethnic/europe/french/00/rec0023.html by Sherilyn Schamber. The original recipe was a little vauge on some of the amounts, so I am including the amounts I used.
Ropa Veja
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1/4 cup water
2 bay leaves
1 tbs apple cider vinegar
2 cloves minced garlic
1/4 tsp freshly ground cumin
pinch of salt and pepper
1 medium onion, quartered
1 lb flank steak
1 green bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 14.5oz can of diced tomatoes with garlic and onion
In a slow cooker combine the tomato sauce, water, bay leaves, vinegar, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Add the onion then the meat on top of the onions. Spoon some of the sauce on top of the meat.
Add the bell pepper and the undrained can of tomatoes on top of the meat. Cover and cook on low until the meat begins to fall apart.
The original recipe said 8 hours, but it only took about 4 in my slow cooker.
Remove the meat to a separate bowl and shred with two forks. Add the vegetables and some of the juices to the bowl. Serve alone or on top of rice.
Etouffade de Pommes de Terre (Smothered Potatoes)
1 1/2 tsp olive oil
2 medium onions, diced
2 shallots, diced
4 oz ventreche, bacon or salted ham (I used bacon)
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 bay leaf
2 tsp flour
1 lb small red potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/4 pieces.
1 cup chicken broth or water (I used chicken broth)
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp parsley for garnish
In a large pan heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions, shallots, bacon, thyme and bay leaf. Stir and let cook for 10 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and stir until brown.
Add the potatoes, broth, salt and pepper. Mix well and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook over low heat for about 45 minutes, stirring a few times.
Garnish with parsley, if desired.
Both dishes were excellent. I think I'm going to try some variations with the Ropa Veja.
The original recipe for the potatoes called for 2tbs of olive oil, but I thought this was a bit much considering the bacon I was using. I thought they turned out well anyway.

I found this great Kmart crock pot at the Rogers Salvation Army. Appliances were half off, so I only ended up paying $2.50 for the tested and working unit! The milk glass inside is not damaged, and I easily removed the stains on the inside with bleach water.
This is going with my other Spice of Life coordinate pieces that I have for sale at my Rogers Rose Too Antique Store booth. That is, unless anyone would like to trade...

Turning the toughness of a blade steak into something juicy and tender is always a challenge. I've discovered that rubbing them with your favourite herb & spice blend, then tightly wrapping them in foil, and slow-cooking them for a few hours creates the most tasty and juice steak that could rival the most expensive cuts.

It was a nice sunny day, so I made lunch in the back of the truck with my solar cooker.
I took two chicken breasts and cut them in to 1/4" thick slices. After placing them in the bottom of the pan, I added a zucchini, a can of corn, two cans of sliced stewed tomatoes and some garlic cloves.
It filled the pan, so I left it to cook for 3 hours. The end result is absolutely delicious. The broth that is created is really good, and it permeates the chicken and vegetables.
This dish is easy, tasty, and can be easily modified.
The basket up front was already full with a large slow cooker, but we needed more room to carry a pie flat.
I found a Rubbermaid storage bin and wedged it under the Monkey Bars. It fit so nice and snug just from pressure that I didn't secure it otherwise.

When Bromley transferred their manufacturing activities from Manukau City to Gisborne in 1950, their first model off the production line was the Bromley 12 Cabin Cruiser. It offered berths and travel seating for three, and an all-new ketone fission slowcooker. Average range on one charge was around 350 miles at a speed of 50mph; attainable cruising altitude 12.000 ft.
