SWEET MUSTARD SAUCE (found this on the Web)

This meat sauce is great with pork chops, on cold cuts and as a spread =
on sandwiches. Our guest on the Middle Fork rave about it.

2 ounces dry mustard=20
6 eggs=20
1 cup sugar=20
1 cup white vinegar=20

Pour dry mustard and vinegar in sauce pan and stir. Set aside. Break =
eggs in a separate bowl and beat until mixed. Add sugar and beaten eggs =
to mustard and vinegar. Stir until mixed. Place over medium high heat=20
stirring constantly. Too hot of heat can scorch the sauce. When cooked =

cool. This sauce lasts a couple of weeks when refrigerated.

Clarified (Ghee) Butter

1/2 lb unsalted butter

Cut into pieces & melt slowly. Skim off as much foam as possible from =

for a long time!

The Next Best Thing To Jam (found this on the Web)

Before you go to make anything in camp- always check with the Camp Cook=20
who usually is responsible for the staples. You short the cook and =
he/she will have to short someone else!

Sugar=20
Non-flavored gelatin=20
Cinnamon=20
Berries, or seasonal fruit

Let's say your little helpers go out and pick a bucket of berries while=20
you are trying to fix a meal. This works for me! After you get the=20
berries, put them in a pot and cover with just enough water so they =
begin to float. Put them on the stove to boil, stirring occasionally. =
Once the berries begin to burst add sugar to taste (about one cup). Put =
about 1/4 tsp of cinnamon per 2 qts. berries and continue to boil. The =
mix will try to thicken but, at this time it's more like a syrup. Remove =
from the heat and mix in the gelatin (as to the instructions on the =
label) and allow to cool.
Thanks!
