I bought a stewing hen for $1.88lb.CD. Total $3.85. I quartered it, into my stock pot and bring to a good simmer. Skim and skim some more until no more skimming needs to be done. Add mirepoix and turn down heat. I don't know how long I'll simmer it. At least 4 hours. At one time, I used to really slow simmer it overnight. I also cheated a bit, and will add 2 or so chick boullion cubes. I purchase cubes imported from Poland. They are not as sodium laden as the others, and have a bit more flavour.

I've never cooked a stewing hen. These days they aren't sold in stores. Beats the heck out of me where all the old hens go. My guess is that they go to some island somewhere to laze in the sunshine. If I did have a stewing hen, I probably stick it in the pressure cooker and cook the shit out of it. Yeah, that's the ticket. |

At our local farmers market, they sell necks and backs and also chickFeet. I missed out last Saturday, but maybe will purchase some this weekend. |

Pickles, funny you mentioned that. As far as a bad batch then no. I have done some testing of my own with the small pickling cucumbers vs the larger regular cukes. And guess what I found? Can I say that they pickle identical? No, but the difference is so slight it is not even worth an argument. The larger pickles seem to be a bit more firm and will give you a (slightly) tougher bite. When I say slight if the smaller pickles were a 100 as far as softness then the larger pickles would be a 103. I had to use large numbers because using smaller numbers makes the gap to broad. So in other words it is all media hype. The two cukes are virtually identical. Ok and as far as jam well I did not make a bad batch it is just that I wanted to go back to basics and produce a pure batch because it is like I dont remember what the original tasted like. When I say original I meant with out any spices. I use cinnamon and nutmeg as spices. The last batch that I made I omitted the cinnamon and nutmeg and it just was not as good. Granted all I need to do is as I open the jars then I can just add some cin. and nutmeg but I will have to do it a few times instead of doing it all at once. -- ____/~~~sine qua non~~~\____ |

And as far as "I've seen them pick products that clearly are not the best or even second." Maybe not to YOU but that doesn't mean everybody should bow to your opinion as nobody is forced to bow to their opinion. Funny how that works, isn't it? |

People who cook always have carrots, celery onion, garlic. and several dried herbs... can't make decent chicken stock without a parsnip. |

I don't know about ATK but many tv shows and even movies get a kickback for showing or recommending exact products. I would like to think that ATK isn't recommending a certain product for that reason but you never know. Notice on many cooking shows or even in kitchens in sitcoms, whatever, many food containers have a brand name label replaced with a generic label. To show a specific brand name is a form of advertising and the food companies do pay them for that exposure. Isn't that "subliminal advertising?" No commercial for or mention of a product but you do see it in the show. |

I haven't seen that show since the days of the man with the bow tie, but I always used to like them. |
