Herb Tip
Using Rosemary:
The leaves of the rosemary plant are available in both fresh and dried varieties and the stems make easy skewers that add a ton of flavor to shish-ka-bobs. Rosemary is an excellent herb to be used with beef, lamb, fish, poultry, stuffings, fruit cups, vegetables and marinades. Rosemary carries a very bold, piney and perfumy flavor so remember: A little goes a long way.

Food Tip
Pack food in a cooler with ice or ice packs. Only pack foods which have been chilled to a temperature below 40 degrees F - do not use the cooler to chill room temperature foods. When finished serving cold foods, promptly return them to the cooler. If you plan to cook meat, poultry or fish on a grill while picnicking, pack carefully to prevent leakage, and take along baby wipes or moistened towelettes to wash up with after handling raw foods. A spray bottle filled with clean water and soap is another alternative - this works well for hands as well as surfaces.

Peach Leaf Starter & Drying Directions

Bring water to rolling boil and steep peach leaves in it for 15
minutes. Drain liquid and add enough water to make 3 full cups again.
This will have a rather unappetizing green color but don't worry! It
will disappear during the fermentation process. Peel hot baked
potatoes and put through a food mill or sieve. Scald 1/2 cup corn
meal in 1 cup of the liquid until it reaches boiling point and
thickens. Stir constantly so that it will not become lumpy. Now
combine all ingredients in large mixing bowl (do not use metal or
plastic). Cover with cheesecloth and set in warm place (about 80 to
85F) until well fermented. In warm humid weather this will take about
24 hours. In cool dry weather a few more hours may be required for
mixture to become active throughout. Stir every few hours during the
process. When it is ready, pour into a large glass jar (I use a 2
quart glass pickle jar with porcelain lined zinc lid). Store in
refrigerator at about 38 degrees. If necessary stir down a time or
two until it stops foaming. It is ready for use when about 1/2 inch
of clear liquid has risen to the top. This will take about 2 days.
Stir well each time before using.

When the starter has been used down to about 1 cupful, add 3 cups
water, 3 medium sized baked potatoes, 1/2 cup corn meal scaled in 1
cup water, 3 Tbsp. sugar and 2 tsp. salt prepared as for the first
time (no peach leaves). Set in warm place until it becomes very
active in about 6 to 8 hours. Store in refrigerator and it will be
ready for use the next day.

Peach Leaf Dry Starter:

Follow directions for making Peach Leaf Starter until it is ready to
store in refrigerator. Sterilize about 2 quarts of corn meal for 1
hour in oven, at low temperature so that it will not brown. Stir
often. After it has cooled stir as much of this into the fermented
mixture as it will absorb. Spread 1/2 inch thick in flat pans. When
it has set enough, cut into 1-1/2 inch squares. Separate and lay on
clean towels or absorbent paper to dry. Do not place in the sun. Be
careful that insects do not have access to it during the drying
process. When completely dry and hard, wrap each cake in small
squares of cellophane and seal with tape. Store in refrigerator in
moisture proof container. This will keep for a year or more.

Only a portion of the starter mixture may be taken to make a small
amount of cakes if desired. Then only a proportionate amount of corn
meal need be sterilized.

A starter from Dry Yeast:

A starter can be made by combining 1 cake Peach Leaf Dry Yeast, 1/2
cup warm water, 1/2 tsp. ginger and 1 tsp. sugar in glass bowl. Cover
with cheesecloth and let stand in warm place (80 to 85 ) until a
white film covers the top of the water. This will only take
overnight in warm, humid weather, a little longer in cool weather.
Add 1/2 cup water (room temp.), 1/2 cup white flour and 1 tsp. sugar.
Let stand until foaming actively. Stir often. Pour into glass fruit
jar and store in refrigerator with lid loose until foaming has
stopped. As soon as about 1/2 inch of clear liquid has risen to the
top the starter has ripened enough to use.
