If you like grilled salmon or even if you don’t like grilled salmon you might appreciate this recipe. But this recipe isn’t about the salmon – it’s all about the sauce. Tonight I prepared a tangy, sweet, and spicy sauce that goes great with grilled salmon or even ribs or chicken. Be careful to not over cook the sauce, as it will thicken as it cools. If the sauce sits for too long and becomes too thick then just add a little bit of water to thin it out. This delicious sauce called ‘honey pepper sauce’ is very similar to the one served at the Applebee’s restaurant. This meal is very easy to prepare and the fish and the sauce should be on the table within just a few minutes. Also, if you don’t have a grill, or prefer not to use one baking the salmon in the oven will work just as good.

Step 1: To make the sauce combine all of the sauce ingredients in a sauce pan over medium heat. Stirring occasionally bring the sauce to a boil. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes. Watch the sauce to make sure it doesn’t bubble over while boiling. The sauce will thicken as it cools.

Home Made Apple and Grape Wine

March 7, 2008 | By Larry In Fish and Wild Game Recipes | Comments(2)

Home made apple & grape wine. What a treat. I had a great year in 2007 that produced an overabundance of apples and grapes. I decided to mix the two and the result was a great tasting wine. Although this blog is not about wine making I thought it would fit in nicely with our wild game and fish recipes.If you have never made wine before there are complete wine making kits on the market, that will walk you though the whole process.( Their are also some very good books on Wine Making) These are not all that expensive and will last for years. You can make wine out of almost any fruit. So if it’s a great year for wild berries, apples, chokecherries or wild cherries you can make yourself a fine tasting wine. Equipment you will need:

Wine making Kit or

Hydrometer

Primary Glass secondaryAir lock, Siphon, Nylon fermentation bag, Bottles,Wine capper andBottle corks.

One thing nice about making this wine if you cant get to it right away, you can freeze the fruit to get at it at a later date. All the items in this recipe usually can be purchased from a natural food or co-op store. The recipe I am going to give you makes one gallon. I make 5 gallons at a time so you would increase the ingredients times the number of gallons you want to make.

Apples-4 lbs

Grapes-4 lbs

Water-2 ½ pints

Sugar-2 lbs

Acid blend-1 ½ tsp

Pectic Enzyme-½ tsp

Tannin-¼ tsp

Campden tablet-1 crushed

Yeast-1 pkg one package will work for up to 5 gallons of wine.

Anti-oxidant-add at the time of bottling.

You will want to cut or chop the apples and remove the grapes from their stems. Use only good quality fruit. Load the fruit into your nylon mesh bag.

Mix the sugar with a small amount of the water to dissolve it. Heat it on the stove till it clears. Then add all the ingredients into your primary fermentor except for the yeast and anti-oxidant. After 24 hours add the yeast.

It won’t take long for the yeast to start to work. Stir it daily-I like to squeeze the nylon bag a number of times with my hands to be sure all the juice is being forced out into the liquid. On about the third day start checking the wine with the Hydrometer. You want the S.G. (specific gravity) to be 1.040. Depending on the room temperature this can take about 3 to 7 days. Its time now to transfer the wine into the glass secondary and attach the airlock.

When fermentation is complete you will have a S.G. 1.00. This will take about 3 or 4 weeks. At this point siphon off the wine into a clean container being careful to leave the sediment at the bottom. After cleaning the secondary put the wine back in it and replace the airlock. Its now a waiting game. In a couple of months the wine will be clear, you can then bottle it or recycle it again for more clarity. The older it gets- the better it gets!

Add Anti-oxidant

Soak the wine corks in hot water and bottle.

You now have a Great tasting wine-enjoy

Recipe for Grilled Fish

Grilled Fish

Please welcome guest poster Bobby from Free Online Recipes - Larry

I don’t know about you but I love the taste of grilled fish, which brings us to tonight’s recipe of grilled salmon with Maitre D’ Hotel sauce. This is actually a combination of two recipes I came across last summer. With your typical Maitre D’ Hotel sauce the fillets would be breaded and then dipped in the sauce, but instead we are brushing the fillets in the sauce and putting them on the grill. The best part is there’s a good chance you have all the ingredients in your home to make the sauce. This recipe could be made with many different types of fish such as Bass or trout. This is a fast and easy fish recipe that everyone is sure to enjoy.
Grilled Fish
Ingredients:
4 1-lb bass fillets (dressed and skinned)
Maitre D’ Hotel Sauce-
1 garlic clove (smashed)
½ cup butter (melted)
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ teaspoon pepper
fresh parsley (for garnish)

Cooking Instructions:
Grilled Fish
Step 1: combine melted butter, garlic clove, lemon juice, salt and pepper to make the sauce. (In the picture I just fluffed the butter with a fork and mixed the ingredients in before melting it)
Step 2: Brush your salmon fillets on both sides with the sauce.
Step 3: Put fillets on the grill and cook until done (when the fillets flake easily). Garnish with minced fresh parsley.
