Portland Observer, January b, 1983 Page 9 Golden apple bread pudding historic dessert American regional cooking, with its long and flavorful tradition, is enjoying the heights o f popularity across the nation today. This hearty, inviting Golden Apple Bread Pudding comes to us from the an nals of our colonial ancestors. The naturally sweet flavor o f or chard-fresh Golden Delicious apples, raisins and fragrant spices, added to this old-fashioned dessert, turns a good thing into a really memorable dish. Whether served warm from the oven or made ahead and cooled, this is sure to become a favorite with all ages All-purpose Golden Delicious apples from Washington State are prized for cooking and baking, as well as for enjoyment in salads and o ut-of-hand snacks. They retain Fishing is a favorite pastime o f many Oregonians and the catch can be preserved for enjoyment throughout the year, notes Marilyn Lunner, Clackamas County Exten sion agent. Because fish spoils rapidly, it must be handled properly. Keep fish cold, either on ice or in the refriger ator. Fish must be processed in a pres sure canner to destroy bacteria that can grow in low acid foods, adds Carolyn Raab, Oregon State U n i versity Extension foods and nutri tion specialist. Process raw fish in one-half pint or pint jars for 100 minutes at 10 pounds pressure. Recommended processing times have not been de termined for quart jars, she points out. To freeze fish, wrap in moisture/ vapor-resistant paper. Water glaz ing is recommended when freezing large fish. This prevents oxidation and freezer burn. In water glazing, the fish is first frozen unwrapped on a cookie sheet. A fte r freezing, the fish is dipped in water to form a protective glaze and then refrozen. This pro cess is continued until there is a coating of ice around the fish, which is then wrapped in freezer paper. Smaller fish, such as smelt, are sometimes frozen in a can or carton filled with water. Freezing in water helps prevent changes in quality. When smoking fish, it ’s im port ant to have the proper salt concen tration and to reach the correct in ternal tem perature, M arilyn stresses. Smoked fish should be kept in the refrigerator. For storage long er than one or two weeks, the fish should be canned or frozen. The processing time for raw fish should be used if it is canned. When pickling fish, the proper vinegar concentration is essential to prevent the growth of harmful bac teria. Pickled fish should be stored in the refrigerator.
