Enjoy the Harvest Moon Around The Campfire – September30 – October 6

The Harvest Moon creates additional light when enjoying an autumn campfire. Create a colorful menu for a campfire party with friends.

Fish Sticks on Skewers
Cut Monk fish or a sturdy fish into bite size pieces. Marinate the favorite fish in white wine and lemon juice. Skewer the fish pieces between alternating green and red peppers on double, parallel skewers. Cook the fish on the skewers on the grille.

Meatballs on Skewers
Prepare the meatballs in advance of the party and freeze.

Thoroughly mix:
1lb. of ground meat
5 slices of hamburger buns (TOASTED, ground into bread crumbs)
1 minced garlic clove
dash of salt & pepper
½ cup of Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons of chopped parsley and oregano
1 egg

Form into 2 to 3 inch balls. Fry until cooked, turning once. Freeze.

When ready to serve, thaw and skewer the meatballs between alternating onion chunks and whole cherry tomatoes. Place the skewers in a grill basket to reheat on the open flame.

Grilled Artichokes
Cut fresh artichokes in half. Trim off the thorns. Remove the center fuzzy choke fiber. Boil until just tender with a lemon half and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Remove and drizzle with olive oil and Balsamic vinegar. When ready to serve, place the artichokes in a grill basket to reheat on the open flame.

Campfire Café Brûlot
Make a pot of coffee. Pour the brewed coffee into a pot that can be heated on the open flame. Sweeten the coffee with the desired sweetener. Add a dash of cinnamon. Peel a whole orange, preferably without breaking the peel. Insert cloves into the orange peel. Simmer the coffee with orange peel and showcase the peel by lifting it at one end with tongs and pour the coffee over it with a ladle. Add brandy, if desired. Stir and ladle the coffee into the individual cups. Toast to a beautiful Harvest Moon and great friendship. Kelly McBride Loft
