I'm tired of my recipes. . . . would you share how you use you're canned/frozen garden goods.

I have a few pieces of venison also.

Please share your recipes.

Thanks,!

Name the three things you have the most of or have trouble using. I've been doing this all spring. We have to use everything up. Today I'm using up canned spiced peaches, bin stored apples, green relish, ham, frozen plum tomatoes and dried chestnuts.

In the Freezer: green beans, cut corn, squash, pumpkin, chicken, venision, and zucchini

In the cupboard: quarts of tomato sauce, apple sauce, pears, peaches, saurkraut, dill pickles and dilly beans.

escalloped corn. Put the corn in baking dish, pour a little thin white sauce over it and top with crumbled saltine crackers. Bake oh about 30 min.

I hope the zucchini is grated. Thaw it and drain it and make escalloped zucchini, see above.

Green beans..... Venison barley soup with green beans....follow a recipe for beef barley soup and then add just the green beans for a vegetable.

Dilly beans, cut into 1 inch pieces and toss with butter lettuce for a different salad.

Apple sauce spice cake

Ginger Bread cake with warmed ginger pears. Make your favorite gingerbread recipe. Before serving, drain a bit of that pear liquid into a sauce pan, add a slice of fresh ginger, thicken with a little starch and add a couple of the pears that have been diced. Serve each piece of gingerbread topped with this sauce.

Peaches.....Georgia peach short cake with whipped cream......Sorry I can't help myself.

Chicken corn Chowder

Pumpkin waffles - stir in 1/2 to 3/4 cup of pureed pumpkin into your waffle batter.

Estonian Pork and Kraut.
Get a pork shoulder, brown in nicely and put in a large casserole. Add one very small onion, one golden delicious apple(peeled and sliced). Add your kraut, 1Tablespoon brown sugar and 3/4 cup of barley. Cook slowly in oven adding liquid as needed all afternoon.

Does that help?
