·         1.5 tbsp. sugar

·         2 tbsp. vegetable oil

·         1.5 tbsp. flour

How To Make :

·         Combine cabbage, onion, cloves, apple, vinegar, æ tbsp. sugar, and oil in a large pot.

·         Add enough water to cover the bottom of the pot.

·         Bring to a boil and then simmer  until tender, or 1 to 1.5 hours. Add boiling water if needed during cooking to maintain enough water at the bottom of the pan to keep the food from sticking.

·         Sprinkle flour and the rest of sugar over the mixture before serving.

Ingredient :

·         3 c. flour

·         2/3 c. brown sugar

·         3 tsp. baking powder

·         2 tsp. baking soda

·         1/4 tsp. salt

·         2 c. buttermilk

·         1 c. chopped nuts*

·         1 c. chopped prunes

·         1 c. diced dates or figs

·         1 c. raisins

How To Make :

·         Preheat oven to 350°F. Blend flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

·         Add buttermilk slowly, stirring to form a smooth dough.

·         Stir in nuts and fruits.

·         Grease and flour a 10-inch bread pan and spoon batter into the pan.

·         Bake for 45 minutes, remove from oven and let cool.

Ingredients :

·         1/2 tbsp. sugar

·         1/2 c. warm water*

·         1.25 oz. package active dry yeast

·         3_3/4 c. bread flour

·         3/4 c. milk

·         1/2 stick unsalted butter

·         2 large eggs

·         1 tsp. salt

·         3/4 lb. sliced bacon, diced

How To Make :

·         Mix sugar and water, and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it rise in a warm place until it bubbles, about 10 minutes.

·         Pour half the flour into a large bowl, making a well in the center.

·         Heat the milk and butter to just before boiling. Pour the yeast and milk mixture into the center of the flour. Gradually beat flour into the mixture to make a thick batter.

·         Lightly beat the eggs with the salt and add to the batter. Gradually pour in the remaining flour. Use just enough flour to prevent the dough from being sticky.

·         Remove to a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes by hand or with an electric kneader until smooth and shiny. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Place in a heavy plastic bag, close tightly, and refrigerate.

·         After an hour, unwrap the dough and punch it down with your fist. Rewrap it well and return it to the plastic bag, closing the bag tightly. Leave overnight.

·         The next day, butter and lightly flour two baking sheets. Unwrap the dough, knead it briefly, and

·         divide into two parts. With a rolling pin, roll out one piece of dough into a 12-inch circle.

·         Place on the baking sheet. Evenly press half of the pieces of the diced bacon into the dough. Press each piece well into the dough. Repeat with the other piece of dough. Leave in a warm place, covered with a damp cloth for 20 minutes. In the meantime, preheat oven to 400°F.

·         Bake in the middle of the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden. Brush the entire surface with the fat that has accumulated around the bacon. Allow bread to cool on a wire rack. The loaf will shrink to approximately 10 inches across.
