Kitchen Katie
Tells Valley
By KAY HITCHCOCK
Bre’r Fox’s famous recipe for
rabbit stew is, of course, still as
good as it was in the time of
Granddaddy Fox. Stewing and
frying are old and favorite ways
of cooking rabbits. But anyone
who has found himself on a pret
ty steady diet of this low-bush
moose has cast around for dif
ferent ways to serve it. Here is
a recipe for rabbit chop suey
that came from Jonas Brothers,
big game outfitters of Denver.
Rabbit Chop Suey
Boil a large rabbit in unsalted
water until tender. Remove meat
from bones and cut into medium
cubes. Brown in bacon fryings, if
available, or other shortening.
To this add one and a half cups
chopped celery, three-quarters
cup chopped onion, 2 tablespoon
fuls soy sauce, one tablespoonful
molasses and one can of mixed
vegetables (or any you have on
hand except tomatoes). Add
water sufficient to cover and
cook slowly until vegetables are
done. Thicken gravy with flour
paste. The soy sauce seasons it
enough for most tastes. This
serves six to eight and may be
eaten with rice, noodles and
boiled potatoes.
Two snowshoe rabbits fit this
x'ecipe better than one, unless
very large. It is suggested that
the bones be cracked and allow
ed to simmer in the water in
which the meat was boiled. This
broth should then be strained
and used to finish cooking the
mixed rabbit and vegetables, in
order to save all of the food
and flavor.
Hasenpfeffer is another inter
esting way of serving rabbit. The
recipe for this will be given in
another issue.
Whipped cream dresses up al
most any kind of dessert into
something special. Where Out
side housewives are inclined to
serve it only for company or
birthday parties, any Alaskan
housewife who has a case of
evaporated canned milk on
hand can serve whipped cream
dessert every day, if she wants
to, without increasing the food
bill.
Each Alaskan cook has his
own way of turning canned milk
into whipping cream. Emil,
whose excellent cooking is so
well known to Road Commission
men, makes dreamy cream puffs,
using canned milk fluffed up
with gelatine for a filler.
Here is his recipe cut down to
family size: Pour one cup evap
orated milk in the top part of
the double boiler and heat with
lid off until hot. Soften one-half
teaspoonful of gelatine with two
teaspoonfuls cold water. Add
softened gelatine to the hot milk

Many Attend
Institute Classes
A completely successful Farm
and Home Institute closed last
week with Friday’s dairy session
at Palmer and a one-day recap
of Institute highlights at Wasilla
that same day. Registrants
totalled 75 for the first day of
the session, and rose steadily on
succeeding days to top well over
100 by the final day of the dairy
seminar.
Valley businessmen, Extension
Service officials and Anchorage
speakers combined to bring a
varied program of educational
interest to Valley residents.

home recently while his broken
finger was mending, returned to
his employment at Jonesville
last week.
and stir until dissolved. Pour
into a shallow bowl and chill un
til icy cold, then whip vigorous
ly until stiff. Beat in sugar and
vanilla to taste.
Mrs. Simeon Oliver, formerly
Mrs. Ethel Ross, when living in
the woods used to place several
unopened cans of milk at a time
in a large kettle of boiling water
and allow it to boil for a half
hour or so. These cans she would
store away in a special place.
When she wanted whipped
cream, she would put a can out
doors to chill in winter, or in
the creek in summer, then whip
it with bowl and beater also
chilled.
Some cooks believe a dash of
salt makes the mlik whip faster
and stiffer. A few drops of vine
gar, not enough to taste, also
speeds whipping. If the cream
is to be used with fruit a table
spoonful of acid fruit juice or
lemon puice helps stiffen the
mixture.
