6A COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL October 5, 2016 Cook's Corner First tastes of fall BY BETTY KAISER For the Sentinel “The falling leaves drift by the window… The Autumn leaves of red and gold…” J ust in case you haven’t noticed, autumn is here. I noticed the change of seasons this morning when I pulled on a sweater and crunched my way through falling leaves to the mailbox. My family knows that fall is in the air when I start bringing out the soup pot and leafi ng (pun intended) through my recipe fi les. Light summer meals have come to an abrupt halt, and hearty fare is on the way. Right now I’m trying to use up the abun- dance of vegetables that Chuck unearthed as he was shutting down the garden for winter. He gave away most of the beautiful burgundy and green leaf lettuce because there was no way that two of us could eat it all. The root vegetables, however, are a different story. They are keepers. My biggest problem is where to keep all those beets, carrots and potatoes. An even bigger challenge is how to prepare them. I’m tired after canning all summer. This year I just didn’t feel like adding beets and carrots to my pantry. But I may change my mind before my inventory runs out! Beets are particularly tricky. It doesn’t take eating many of them to cause me to say, “Enough!” Carrots are more versatile. I have been grating them into everything from coleslaw to carrot cake. I often use a brown sugar glaze on them at dinner. Leafi ng through my UO Centennial Cookbook (1973) I found a couple of versions of Pineapple Glazed Carrots to share that will brighten up a couple of meals. Potatoes are usually good keepers but (again) there’s only two of us, and I had just bought 10 pounds of “Yukon Golds” before Chuck harvested his crop of Rus- sets. They will all be put to good use. Chuck loves Hot German Potato Salad, and my old Betty Crocker Cookbook (circa 1958) has a great recipe for it. It goes mighty good with pork chops or even hot dogs for dinner. Oh, yes, we also have pumpkins. It was a pretty puny crop this year, but I don’t do much cooking with them anyway. Things look pretty bare around here when I pull the fl owering annuals, so I mostly use pumpkins for decoration and an alterna- tive deer food. If you have an abundance of any of the above root veggies, I hope that one of the following recipes will strike your fancy. None of them are new or fancy. But they’re all tried and true and delicious. Enjoy! HOT GERMAN POTATO SALAD 2 cups vegetable broth 1-2 cups water 1 15 ounce can of coconut milk (or 1 cup Half n Half) 1+ garlic cloves pressed 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 4 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon salt 1-2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice Dash of cayenne pepper 6 medium potatoes of your choice 6 slices bacon, chopped 3/4 cup onion, chopped 2 tablespoons fl our 2 teaspoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon celery seed Salt and pepper to taste 3/4 cup water 1/3 cup vinegar Scrub potatoes and put in a pot. Cover with water and boil until done. Peel and slice thinly. Sauté bacon and onions in skillet until golden brown. Blend in fl our, sugar and seasonings. Cook over low heat, stirring until smooth and bubbly. Remove from heat. Stir in water and vinegar. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil one (1) minute. Gently stir in the potatoes. Remove from heat, cover and let stand until ready to serve. Serves 6 generously. Note: This salad can be served at room temperature or put in a Pyrex dish, covered and kept warm in a oven @ 200° F. HARVARD BEETS This is my favorite way to eat beets! Bring fi rst 4 ingredients to simmer in large saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking often. Whisk in syrup, 2 tablespoons but- ter, and pumpkin pie spice. Simmer soup 10 minutes, whisking often. Season with salt and pepper. Melt remaining 2 table- spoons butter in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Divide soup among 6 bowls. Garnish soup with a drizzle of but- ter and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Serve with hot rolls and butter. Note: Soup can be made 1 day ahead. Chill until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Bring to simmer before serving. P.S. No, I don’t know why they have you melt the butter separately in such a large pan. Probably to brown it.
