Grilled Shiitake Mushrooms

Fresh Shiitake Mushrooms, stems left on

Melted Butter

Garlic Salt

Dip fresh Shiitake Mushroom caps in melted butter, sprinkle with garlic salt and grill over medium hot coals. Turn when edges start to crisp. (You usually cut the stems off Shiitakes before cooking - the stems are tough - but when cooking on the grill, they make a "handle" for eating them.) Serve hot from the grill. You won't believe the incredible flavor! This easy recipe is a guaranteed gourmet hit at your next gathering!

     Shiitake Mushroom White Sauce

1/2 lb. Fresh Shiitake Mushrooms, sliced, stems removed

2 Cups milk

3 T. butter

4 T. flour

Saute shiitakes in 1 T. butter until soft an set aside. Heat 2 T. butter in medium saucepan until melted, and whisk in 4 T. flour. Add milk a little at a time, whisking until smooth after each addition. Stir continually until sauce thickens, and add shiitakes, cooking and stirring for 2 minutes more. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve over baked chicken, baked potatoes or pasta.

Blueberry Smoothie

1 1/2 cups Frozen Blueberries

1 cup milk (skim or 2 percent)

2 T. Splenda (or sugar)

2 T. nonfat vanilla yogurt

Pour milk over frozen blueberries. Add Splenda, vanilla yogurt, and blend. The frozen blueberries make the mixture slushy and ice cold - a great drink for hot days. Most of the time, we don't bother to blend at all, but stir it together and eat it with a spoon, like ice cream. Delicious!

       Mix-In-The-Pan Berry Cobbler

This recipe, while not a traditional type of cobbler, is very quick and easy to prepare. It is mixed and cooked in one dish, and the batter rises to the top to form a cake-like crust. Let your pre-schooler mix this one up!

1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups fresh or frozen berries
 (or a combination of berries)
1/4 stick butter or margarine

In a two-quart baking dish or pan, sift together the flour, baking powder and sugar. Stir with a spoon to mix. Add the milk and vanilla and stir to make a thin batter. Pour the berries evenly on top of the batter, and then slice the margarine thinly and distribute it over the top of the batter. Bake at 350 degrees until the batter is golden brown and done in the center.


Baked Berry Pancake

1 1/2  tablespoons butter or  margarine
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4  cup milk
3/4  cup flour
3 eggs
1 1/2  cups fresh berries or 3/4  cup Persimmon Hill Farm berry jam
1 teaspoon vanilla

Place the butter or margarine in a 10-inch iron skillet, a casserole dish or a shallow, oven-safe dish. Place the skillet in the oven at 450 degrees to melt the butter, but don’t let it brown. In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs and milk. Add the vanilla, flour and salt, and stir to mix the ingredients. When the skillet is hot and the margarine is bubbling, pour the batter into the skillet and return the skillet to the oven. Bake for about 10 minutes. Lower the over temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking 10-15 minutes. The sides of the pancake will be high and fluffy, and the center will be firm. Remove the skillet from the oven, and sprinkle the top with fresh whole blueberries, blackberries, raspberries or sliced strawberries, or spread the top with berry jam. Lightly sprinkle with powdered sugar pressed through a sifter.
