New recipes!

Both Jason and Kali created a new recipe within the last few days. Jason's was tested last evening:

Groundhog in crockpot
(thanks to our neighbor who knew Jason was interested in trying harvested groundhog and who finally caught a young one who was enjoying his garden too much!)

soak 4 groundhog legs in salt water (brine) in a sealed container in the fridge for 5 days
remove legs from water and toss in a bowl with salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup flour
brown meat in skillet with moderate amount of cooking oil, place in crock pot
add 2 apples, sliced
add water to a nearly finished-up mustard bottle, shake, add to pot
splash lemon juice

In separate small skillet, heat:
olive oil (2 T?)

Mix in:
honey (1/2 T?)
worcestershire sauce (1 tsp?)
teriyaki sauce (1 tsp?)
1 medium onion, chopped

cook onion in sauce, add to pot, add enough water to cover all contents
add cider vinegar (1 1/2 T?)

cook on high in crockpot for 6-7 hours

Kali gobbled it up! But she liked the chewy chicken in the second crockpot (made for anyone that needed an alternative to the groundhog) even more...

Kali recently made up a recipe that is supposedly for Daddy's birthday cake, so we have just over a week to refine this recipe. She wanted me to include the "translation" here but I think it is much more fun to let you all try to decipher her spelling. :)
