ANSWER - B.L. of Kmtuersville, requested a cream of
mushroom soup recipe. The following recipe comes from
Dwayne Roland, Westover. The second recipe, for
Mushroom Potato Soup, is from Funk’s Farm Market,
Millersville.
Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 teaspoon finely chopped 2 tablespoons butter
onion 3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 cup or Vi pound chopped 3 cups chicken consomme
fresh mushrooms
Saute onion and mushrooms in butter, then add salt,
pepper and flour. Stir until smooth and bubbly Add to hot
chicken broth and put into jars. Process in hot water bath
3 hours. Add cream when opened and heated.
Mushroom Potato Soup
1 pound mushrooms 4 leeks (or 2 medium
1 medium onion onions)
2 tablespoons butter 3 cups raw potatoes,
4 cups chicken broth small, diced
2 cups light cream
Trim the roots and green tops from 4 leeks. Cut the
leeks in half, the long way, and wash well under running
water. Be sure to get all the sand out. Cut the leeks in V -
mch slices; there should be about 2 cups Peel and chop,
not too fine, 1 medium onion. (If onions are substituted for
leeks, chop 3 onions.)
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 4-quart pot and cook
the leeks and onions slowly, for 5 minutes, covered,
stirring from time to time
Add 3 cups of diced potatoes and 4 cups of chicken
broth. Cover and simmer the soup for 25 minutes Add 1
pound of whole mushrooms and simmer, covered, for 10
more minutes.
Pour 2 cups of soup into an electric blender and blend
for about a minute, using highest speed Add another cup
and blend some more. Continue until all the soup is
blended. The blender will have to be emptied 3 times.
After blending, there will be 2 quarts of thick soup. This
will have to be thinned down to serve. It can be kept in the
refrigerator longer if it is stored before adding milk or
cream. This soup freezes well and if some is to be frozen, it
is best to do it before thinning it down.
To prepare 4 servings, heat 3 cups of blended soup with
1 cup of milk or cream and slowly bring it to a boil. Remove
from heat. If a thinner soup is desired, add more milk or
cream. Store or freeze the rest.
ANSWER - Wanda Brookhart, Liverpool, requested a
recipe to can apple juice. The following information comes
from "How to Can,” a publication produced by the Penn
State Extension Service.
Good quality apple juice is made from a blend of
varieties. For best results, buy fresh juice from a local
cider maker within 24 hours after it has been pressed.
Refrigerate juice for 24 hours. Without mixing, carefully
pour off clear liquid and discard sediment. Strain clear
liquid through a paper coffee filter.
To hot pack, heat juice quickly, stirring occasionally,
until juice just reaches the boiling point. Fill immediately
into pre-stenlized pint, quart, or half-gallon jars, leaving
Vi-inch headspace. Adjust lids and process pints or quarts
5 minutes (1,000 ft. elevation), 6 minutes (1,000-2,000 ft.
elevation), or 7 minutes (2,000-3,000 ft.) Process half
gallons 10 minutes at (1,000 ft), 11 minutes (1,000-2,000
ft.) or 12 minutes (2,000-3,000 ft.)
