Jul 13th, 2010 by admin | 0

Well it is that time of the year, time for camping, and fishing, and what better cookbook to choose than the classic 1950 Outdoor Cooking With Reynolds Wrap?

Here we have Camp Menu No. 2 – Fisherman’s Delight, and I bet it tastes darned good when you are out camping.

This recipe is for individual quantities, so adjust accordingly.

Menu

  • Trout
  • Steamed Potatoes
  • Buttered Onions
  • Bread, Apple Butter
  • Coffee, Cookies
  • Canned Peaches

Amount

  • 2 Slices Bacon
  • 3/4 to 1 lb. Fish
  • 1 Med. to Lge. Potato
  • 2 Small Onions
  • 4 to 5 Cookies
  • 1 Jar Apple Butter
  • 1 Small Can Peaches

Directions: Clean and wash fish and vegetables. Take out about 26 inches of Reynolds Wrap. Place 1/2 slice bacon on the wrap. Place fish on top. Slice potatoes in 1/4 inch slices and place on top of fish. Slice onions in same manner and place around sides of and on top of potatoes. Put another slice of bacon on top of potatoes and onions. Carefully fold foil and crease over to seal. now fold in the ends to seal in all moisture. Caution—do not make a hole in the wrap.

Place dinner on hot coals for 10 minutes. Now take a blunt stick and turn it over and leave for 10 minutes more. The length of time it is left in the fire is determined by the size of fish. The larger the fish, the more time. Only experience can teach this.

Open up your fish dinner and enjoy its sealed-in flavor.

Reynolds Wrap cooking brings the pressure cooking idea to outdoor campfire cooking for the first time.
