View the details of this row. Baked Apples

1 apple
2 to 4 tbsp. dried fruits and nuts
1/2 to 3/4 tsp. cinnamon sugar (mix 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon)
1/2 tsp. butter or margarine

Carefully core the apple, leaving the bottom intact. Stuff it with fruits and nuts of your choice, packing it fairly tight. Sprinkle on the cinnamon sugar and dot with butter. Wrap the apple in a double thickness of aluminum foil, twisting the ends at the top to form an easy handle.

Place the apple right side up on the coals. Bake for twelve to eighteen minutes, turning occasionally, or until the apple yields slightly when pushed with a gloved hand. Before serving, open the foil and let the apple cool for a few minutes. Serves one.

View the details of this row. Easiest fish ever
1 whole fish, cleaned and scaled (or more depending on how much you catch and how many you are feeding)
            We used Grunter but have also done this with trout before, any good eating fish really
2 Lemons
Garlic flakes
Spices to taste
 
Slice fish diagonally across body approximately 5cm apart
Cut lemons in half and slice halves into approximately 2mm slices
Bending fish slightly to open the slits, rub Garlic and spices into the slits
Place lemon slices in rows in the slits
Repeat on other side of fish
 
Wrap fish 1 layer of foil, two layers of wet newspaper and another two layers of foil
 
Place fish in hot coals
 
Time will depend greatly on the size of the fish but as a general rule the paper will be partly burnt when the fish is ready
 
If you do not have a fire to cook on, a great alternative is to burn heatbeads (like what you would use in a weber) and use these under and on top of the fish.

Honey Glazed Chicken Snitzel 2-Chicken Breast - remove skin, bone and fat, bread crummings and honey 1) Heat frying pan - not too hot - crum chicken breast while pan is warming up 2) Cook crummed chicken breast as normal - I prefer to cook slower - increases final flavour 3) When almost cooked, poor in honey over chricken and continue to cook for a further five minutes at a reduced heat - remember to flip and cook both sides. 4) Serve hot with vegies.... Tip: for camp cooking, I always use spray type cooking oils - you end up using less oil, less wastage and it carries alot easier than a bottled oil.   merc
