Ghana Peanut Stew
adapted from a recipe my mother got from a fellow dietetic intern
1 lb ground beef (can also use ground chicken)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp each black, white and red pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
pinch cloves
16 oz tomato sauce
1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
1/2 cup water
In a skillet brown ground beef. Drain and or rinse if you desire. Add salt, 3 peppers, paprika and cloves. Mix well. Add tomato sauce, peanut butter and water. Cover and simmer on low for 20-30 min. We like to serve it over rice. Serves 4.
Root Beer Jelly
2 cups root beer
6 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 bottle liquid pectin (I used one pouch sure-jel)
So basically follow the directions for the cooked jelly in the sur-jel box. You boil the jars, set them out to dry. Mix root beer, water and sugar in a heavy bottom pot and boil. Add pectin and boil about a min. Ladle (I like to use a pot with a pour thingy. It is much easier and the hot jelly does not get on the threads of the jar. It is also faster.) into jars. Put lids on tight and put in boiling water bath. (Those weird Teflon gloves that can stand uber heat are great for this part. I just put them on and grab the jars and put them right in the water with my hands. Much easier then using tongs.) Boil 5 min. Take out and let cool for 24 hours. If the lids don't make the funny noise then you need to refrigerate that jar. I filled 3 tall jars and 4 small ones.
