Cranberry orange french toast this morning

[Henry Krinkle]

It has literally been decades since I baked bread in a loaf pan, so long in fact that Mrs. K had to buy new tins yesterday. This is more or less my Mom's raisin bread recipe. I substituted the candied peel with dried cherries and blueberries and macerated them, the raisins and the currants in a blend of Jamaican dram and brandy.

Shredded potato is placed between the chicken skin and the breast itself. The potato cooks in the chicken fat from th skin and also keeps the breast meat extra moist. Not healthy but super delicious.Honey, thyme carrots.

Bison, canellini and kidney beans, chick peas. We like to let grape tomatoes dry out until they are like raisins and then throw them into stews or chillis and let them reconstitute. We call them flavour bombs. When you bite into them they explode.

Omg that's a great idea.

It's fantastic. They aren't quite like fresh, but not at all like sun dried. Somehow or other they absorb moisture from the chilli or stew or cabbage rolls only some flavour. Don't let them get too dry first. Think nice fresh raisins.

How do you dry them? I'm trying this.

Spread them out a bit and let the air do it's thing. Grape tomatoes don't seem to mold as badly as most tomatoes, especially if they've got a bit of air between them. This will take weeks, maybe longer since your climate is much more humid than mine.

Drying is just leaving food out? Doesn't it spoil?

Grape tomatoes don't seem to, not in my super dry climate. Even cherry tomatoes have too much moisture and they will get moldy and rotten. I have never tried grape tomatoes in my dehydrator, though I have done regular tomatoes in it. I think it would work well, but oven drying, even below 200F, would change the flavour too much, in my opinion.
