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.
