2	pounds	beef	salt
2	pounds	mixed vegetables	e.g. yam, tannia, cassava, dasheen etc.
1/2	pound	pumpkin
12	each	ochroes
6	each	bananas	green

1	x	garlic
1	x	scotch bonnet chile peppers
1	x	scallions, spring or green onions

Directions

Put the salt beef to soak overnight.

Cut into small pieces and cover with water (2 pints).

Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 1 1/2 hours with beans or peas.

Add peeled and cut up vegetables.

Add the onions (quartered), pumpkin (cut up), chopped.

Cook until vegetables are tender.

Tip #1: You can add any type of meat to "beef" up this basically meatless dish e.g. chicken, beef, pork etc. The only requirement is that the pieces remain large otherwise they will disappear in the soup.

Tip #2: You can make some flour dumplings and plunk them in the soup about 1/2 hour before you are ready.

Tip #3: This soup gets very thick very fast! A little water and butter will thin it out.

Dark Christmas Cake

So far so good. Have tasted it after one week. (I know! It's too soon but could not wait.) Did not put in the figs and added walnuts and pecans (big time). Tripled the brandy for soaking the fruit and nuts. Wrapped all of the cakes with 4 layers of cheese cloth soaked in brandy, then wrapped in foil. I am turning the cakes weekly to keep the juices flowing through the cake (my Mom told me about that one. Some of her cakes were aged up to 5 years.). After about 8 weeks turn them once a month for 4 months, then they should be ok. Always check about every 4 months to see if the cheese cloth is dry. If so, give it another brandy soak.
