Nothing like cooking on an open fire.
Baked Apple
start fire well before dinner.
Baked Apple
start fire well before dinner.
- prep. pull out the heavy duty aluminium foil, gather your favorite apples some sugar, Cinnamon, honey, chocolate, butter, etc. whatever suits your fancy
- core the apples and place in the center of an aluminium foil piece (2 pieces if a hot bed of coals)
- add fillers of your choice ( I prefer carmel, cinnamon, and butter for richness)
- bake on hot coals until soft throughout time will very based on temp of fire, apple will give if poked with a blunt poker.
- carefully unwrap. dig in your tool box and find some pliers to help.
- let cool to avoid burning tongue (don't ask )
- ENJOY

I found an ICECREAM in a bag recipe in a RV catalog
- 1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup milk or half&half
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
6 tablespoons rock salt
1 pint size Ziploc bag
1 gallon size Ziploc bag
Ice cubes
Fill the large bag half full of ice and add the rock salt, seal the bag.
Put milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small bag and seal it.
Place the small bag inside of the large one and reseal.
Shake until mixture is ice cream, they suggest about 5 minutes
I may have to try this when I get out camping again

Ooh-oh ouch quit twisting my arm. will do some "testing" soon, I don't feel like running to the store today to pick up the stuff. Besides around here rock salt is still out of stock everywhere I look.
And I don't have any rugrats I can bribe with a prize to shake the bag for 5 minutes

I learned a new one a couple of weekends ago.
Snakes on a stick
You will need
At least 1 can of ready to bake crescent roll's, ie Pillsbury
A squeezable bottle of your favorite jam
A bit of either melted butter and a basting brush, or a bottle of something like "I Can't Believe Its Not Butter" spray
Stick needs to be about the diameter of your thumb, and long enough to hold over fire with only a risk of singing the hair on your knuckles
Prepare the fire as if you were going to make Smores. Clean the end of your chosen stick of bark and loose derbies, a point is not required.
Open the can of Crescent rolls and separate theme.
Brush the butter on or spray the cooking end of the stick
Take 1 of the rolls and wrap around the stick, and make sure to include the end and pinch it shut over the end of the stick.
Brush or spray the outside of the crescent roll with the butter
Place over the fire and watch it closely to prevent burning, rotating to bake all around.
Remove Crescent roll from stick with paper towel.
Squeeze your jam in the resulting hole and enjoy.

Sounds good maniac... for a savory variation you could stuff the roll with pieces of fire roasted red pepper and squeezy cheese...
or you could make up a batch of ground meat with taco spices (old el paso/mexicasa taco kit type stuff) toss in a little diced tomato mix it with some sour cream and shredded cheddar and let it cool a little bit. Put the mixture in to a ziploc bag seal it and cut open one corner and pipe the mixture into the rolls.
Nice tasty trail snacks
For a gourmet take on your original idea put a little marscapone cheese in a bowl and add several spoons of your fav. jam mix them together well and spoon it into a ziploc bag seal it and cut off a tip and pipe the mixture into the rolls. Melt some semi-sweet (dark) chocolate in a double boiler and dip the open end of the roll in the chocolate. dust the outside with a little powdered sugar when on the plate and serve.

I was thinking if you wanted to make these at home you could use some empty metal cigar tubes to form the rolls... just make sure to remove the cedar liner [if any] and wash them well first. the bare metal kind would probably be safer then the painted ones.

Their is a thought, especially since there is basically no fires allowed in the camping areas, because it has been unusually hot and dry in Western Washington this Summer

If you're going that way all you'd need to carry in the truck is a cheap toaster oven... you'd be able to do at least 3 at a time with a small one.

Sounds good but the best amd clasic desert for camping are the smores but use foil and a gill rack to put over the fire and after roasting the marshmellow and puting it on the chocolate and gram cracker put them on the grill with the foil and heat on the chocolate side for 3-5 mins flip and heat another 3-5 mins to melt chocolate and have it mix with the melted marshmellow
