WARD’S ISLAND CLUBHOUSE
DANDELION / SPRUCE WINE
On a dry spring day, when the sun is high in the
sky,go out and get yourself 1 gallon of dandelion
blossoms and 1/4 peck of the new growth from the
ends of Black Spruce twigs. Put in a 2 gallon
crock, pour l gallon boiling water over and let
twigs and flowers steep for 3 days. Then strain
liquid through jelly cloth or similar device and
put in kettle. Add 1 small ginger root, thinly
pared peels and juice of 3 oranges and 1 lemon;
stir in 3 lb. honey and boil gently for 20 mins.
Return liquid to crock and allow to cool until
lukewarm. Add some yeast, softened, and cover
crock; keep in a warm dark place for l month,
then decant into bottles and cork. Six months
to a year later, on an evening when the moon is
full, open up a bottle and discover another
aspect of those noxious little weeds that cause
suburban lawn manicurists to gnash their teeth.
(If cloudy formations develop in the wine after
bottling, they can easily be removed by straining
liquid through fine cloth).

Ute Lutz 34 ISLAND FIRE STATION NO 33 35 Dish for Men Li RATED CABBAGE ROLLS A recipe to cause your old Ukrainian granny to flinch with indignation. Cabbage (red or green) Cut it up coarsely and put it in a roasting pan or casserole for which there is a lid.

Sauce Add 1 can tomato soup and 1 can water. (Tomato juice, canned or fresh tomatoes, tomato aste thinned with water can be used). Do not stir just cover and place in 300° oven for 1 hr. Check at 30 mins. to see that there is sufficient liquid. (Add water or beer or \vine if liquid is needed). Can be cooked on top of stove in heavy pan at low heat. This can be made in large quantities for an inexpensive dish for a crowd. Increase the proportion of rice if the budget requires. Using brown rice is an interesting variation and adds nutritionally. Add ground ginger if there is anyone with a delicate stomach. Elizabeth Amer CORN P U D D I N G (Cass e ro l e) Make a thick white sauce (3 tbs. butter, 3 flour, l cup milk).

WARD’S ISLAND 39 Anne McKenna l lb. back spareribs 2-3 bunches new beets couple of stalks celery whole onion carrot few new potatoes some shredded cabbage l 20 oz. carton sour cream (room temp.) 1 medium can tomato juice pinch oregano l-2 bay leaves few peppercorns bunch parsley fresh dill weed a piece of sour salt about 1/4 inch 2 tbs. flour NOTE: Don’t cook in aluminum because it will make the soup curdle. Don’t salt the soup until the end because it affects the texture of the beets. Stick the spareribs in cold water (3 qts) and simmer. Wash beets thoroughly. (Try to buy beets with fresh new greens so you can chop leaves and stems). Julienne the beets and add to soup. Throw in an onion, carrot and celery whole. (You will remove these after an hour or so). Turn the heat up to boil. You will have to skim the froth off. Put the spices in cheesecloth bag and add. Soup should simmer about 2 hrs. Add the potatoes chopped up along the way and the parsley, as much cabbage as you want, and lots of fresh chopped dill about 1/2 hr. before done. When done, turn heat off. Add can of tomato juice. Add a little sour cream (room temp) to the flour and beat till the lumps are out. Then add this to the rest of the cream and beat. Add a little soup slowly and beat until cream turns good pink. Then stir this whole mess into the soup with suitable incantations or it will curdle. (You should really start the day with an augury or cook under a full moon or be a Ukrainian Grandmother for this bit of work, says my Ukrainian Grandmother, who likes to make it sound more difficult than it is). Add sour salt, reheat and serve with boiled whole new potatoes.

White wine and Pineapple pudding
It looks a very plain pudding indeed; it tastes
almost outrageously good. (Proper stirring is
very important).
l cup pineapple juice
1 cup dry white wine
20 oz. marshmallows
1 pint heavy cream
In a heavy saucepan, slowly heat the wine and
the juice. Add marshmallows and stir mixture
over low flame until marshmallows have melted.
Remove from heat and allow to cool. When
mixture has cooled through and through (3 hrs.)
whip the cream (do not add any sugar) and add
to mixture. Stir until completely blended.
This will take a bit of stirring because of
marshmallows’ stickiness. Transfer to a glass
serving dish and chill in freezing compartment
of refridge for 4 hrs. During first hr. of
freezing, stir it with a folding motion a few
times. Serves 8.
