Backwoods Cooking Foil cooking

Twists: Mix a small amount of flour and water in a plastic bag. Add raisins if you like. Roll out into a long “sausage” and wrap around a green stick. Cook slowly and when ready just pull off and fill with jam.

This is best if each person cooks their own portion. Chop your food into small pieces and with some fat or cooking oil wrap it in a double layer of foil making sure it is well sealed and allow to cook for 20 minutes turning several times. Try rashers, onions, sliced potatoes and diced carrots.

Marshmallows roasted on a stick make a delicious dessert.

Tips When cooking meat on a spit or skewer, remember that the fat dripping into the fire will create flames and could cause your food to burn. Getting the fire right is all important. For the best results, cook your food over a bed of hot embers. First, build up the fire and then let it burn down several times until it’s a thick bed of glowing embers. If there is too much flame, you’d better like your food black and crispy!!!

Backwoods cooking Here you’ve got to make everything yourself. Get some green sticks. Take off the bark and heat them over the fire before using. You can then use them to grill the food. Here are several ways to cook food without utensils. Sausages, toast and “twists” can easily be cooked on a stick. Kebabs on a spit can include cubed meat such as chicken, pork, sausages along with tomatoes, onions, mushrooms and peppers. 156
