What other foods do you make at home? (Way off topic, and not political!)

fletcherfam

Saw the thread on Vanilla Extract and was curious what else us eggheads make food wise at home, here is my list: (Please don't hijack the thread with Trolling, politics, or other crap).

yogurt
Vanilla Extract
Granola
Ice Cream
Smoked Cheese
Coffee Creamer
and other things I can't remember

We can (process) the following:
 - plums
 - Applesauce
 - apples
 - Pears
 - pear butters and apple butters
 - peaches
 - pineapples (frozen or dried)

pickled eggs, always looking for new recipes for them as i havent found what i want. pickled fiddleheads, pickled peppers, blueberry jams, creme fraiche.

Griffin

Sausage. I'd like to get into pickling and canning, but I just haven't taken that step yet.

fishlessman

did some butter from creme a couple weeks back with herbs, stupid easy if you want to get rid of creme, next one gets a little maple syrup in it, oh and i did syrup once, thats too much work

Mighty_Quinn

Beer, cheese, sausage, bacon and various other cured meats, can tomatoes whole and as salsa, different cucumber pickles, pickled jalapeños

nolaegghead

Beer, pickles, pickled beets, mozzarella cheese, farmers cheese, jerky, cold smoked fish, corned beef and pastrami, pancetta, Canadian bacon, California rolls and bread

BigGreenBamaGriller

Jellies and jams - Blackberry, strawberry, peach and apple butter. Buttermilk biscuits are my signature item. I also have 5 blueberry bushes in the back, so lots of items with blueberries. Also make homemade pasta...

Skiddymarker

Beer (mostly an economic thing), wine (really an economic thing), raspberry jam (the simplest of all jams even an idiot like me gets great results), blueberry jam or syrup (because it takes some thought so we get whatever is in the jars). 

Asian (Taiwanese style) dumplings, which if the wrappers don't cooperate soon become pot stickers or jiaozi. 

Rubs - have some commercial standbys, but prefer to make up my own. Just getting into sauces.

Great thread.  Thanks !

Vanilla Extract

Lemoncello (great with tonic or champagne)

All stocks (beef, chicken, shrimp)

Chili powder

Pesto from the basil garden

Canned tomatoes and jalapenos when the crop is good.

Worcestershire sauce

Chile pequin in vinegar for putting on mustard greens

Wine (I have 5 gal. Pinot Gregio, 5 gal. Pinot Noir, and 5 gal. Cabernet going right now)

Botch

So many things I've loved to cook have been moved to my Eggs (pizzas, wokking, even chili!) but I still use my kitchen for making homemade pasta.  

Also love making dishes with roasted Hatch green chile, of which I have a bushel in my freezer.  

MacKay52

Sauerkraut, pickles, jelly, hot pepper mustard, apple sauce, hot sauce.

lwrehm

That is just wrong. How many native Americans did you just insult?

NONE !  I prefer to call them "First Nations".  You people insult them by calling them Americans.  Do you know nothing?

Little Steven

I know nothing...nothing. In my best German accent

I have a headache.  I'm going to bed.  

I did live with the Lakota for awhile, and they think you suck.

The list of "other" foods we do at home is quite LONG living in what I consider to be food mecca. However, boils are a staple here as evidenced by the following picture:



Happiness is a literal BOATLOAD of crawfish on a beautiful Good Friday afternoon.

One other food that is a staple here that I have yet to conquer is Jambalaya. I have a VERY LARGE cast iron pot to make it in and I have the burner, I just need to get out there and make it happen.

Little Steven

Damn I love crawfish!

Tjcoley

350 quarts of tomato sauce over Labor Day

Cured and smoked kielbasi

Infused vodkas

Just started some vanilla extract based on what I learned here

Rumtopf - a German rum pot using various fruits, sugar and rum to make a delicious drink/dessert/treat/topping..  Tradiditionally takes 6 months of seeping fruit and sugar in rum, but you can start a 'turbo' Rumtopf now and have it ready in time for Christmas.

SS,

We learned about adding tonic or champagne to the lemoncello when we were in Italy last month.  By adding tonic or champagne to the lemoncello, the bubbles really makes it refreshing.

I go through phases of trying (experimenting) different things. VI stir fry was the first time I got a real grip on wok cooking and flavors. Thank you VI. I just did steamed fish. I always had a notion that it would be so bland but I'm here to tell you that it was some of the best fish I have had. I am now on a quest for a steamer basket. Chutneys are my current interest. Last week I made tomato chutney. Yum! Grilled chicken breast, spread herb goat cheese and a little chutney over the top. Out standing. This week I made cranberry chutney for the holidays and now I'm 2 for 2.

You've been a busy girl !  Glad you liked the stir fry.  There are so many great things to cook that way.
