1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 clove garlic minced
1 1/2 Ham slice 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 lbs

1 1/2 to 2 1/2 center ham steak. Marinate 2-6 hours.

sides so ham is not directly over hot coals.

carefully (honey will scorch if heat is too high). Keep marinade.
4. Pour marinade in shallow pan. Remove ham from heat; dip in marinade and
return to heat to cook other side (3-5 minutes).
5. Continue dipping and turning until ham is fully heated and glazed (total

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Velma, TN (10:30:13 pm) : When we used to do tent camping, I took a lot of
canned goods, because ice box refrigeration isn't very constant. One thing
we liked was cabbage with canned corn beef. One time I found canned whole
chickens, and made chicken and dumplings. I used canned ham and made
Southern Ham Shortcake. It is simply ham put into a cream sauce with some
bell pepper and a little onion, and served over cornbread.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SueA,CA (11:18:32 pm) : The seafood talk made me remember this.

Adapt to your own amounts

minced garlic
minced parsely
white wine, broth, or water
black pepper.

seams) Divide clams up into portions.Put into pouches.Add garlic, parsely,
seasonings (oregano, black pepper--what ever).
Add a splash of liquid. Fold up final seal well.
Cook in hot coals until pouch expands from steam 5-10 minutes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

4 teaspoons cream
4 teaspoons butter
1 teaspoon dill, rosemary or sweet basil
Peel squash and cut into 1-inch chunks. Divide into 4 portions. Put on
double thick heavy foil large enough to cover and seal (triple folding
seams)
Top squash with cream and butter. Sprinkle herbs all over. Seal and cook on
grill 15 to 20 minutes, or until done the way you like. Trun packets over
every 5 minutes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Velma, TN (10:38:16 pm) : Sue, that sounds really great. I don't care too
much for dumplings, but the rest of my family--all male, really like them,
so I make them, and they are easy to make at camp, especially if you make
the drop kind.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SueA,CA (10:39:32 pm) : On one of our outdoor training classes we cooked
eggs in sandwich zip-loc bags.
You mix up eggs (like for scrambled eggs, add stuff like little ham cubes,
minced green onions, grated cheese and salt and pepper). Zip up the bag and
float in a big pot of boiling water until its cooked. Easy clean up too. Hi
Vicki.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SueA,CA (10:44:01 pm) : Velma, with the scouts we have made implements we
call Wampums. A 1 3/4 inch length of closet dowel with a smaller longer
dowel stuck and glued in the middle. Everything is sanded and corners
rounded. The thick end is soaked in vegetable oil for a while to season.
When we have a camp fire everyone takes bisquit dough (usually from a tube)
and smooshes it around the end of the thick dowel. They bake it over the
open fire until done. No doughy middle that way. They take it off the stick
and fill it with jam or scrambled eggs or whatever.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SueA,CA (10:53:29 pm) : Here's another thing we like to do. We make a
marinate cubed beef (like a Korean Beef) and bring it with us. It smells
wonderful and we will always attract lots of people who come over to ask us
what we are doing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SueA,CA (10:57:59 pm) : In the scout training classes they also taught us
how to make working oven out of cardboard boxes and heavy duty foil. The
heat source is charcoal. You can bake bread or cookies right in the middle
of no where.
Cooking outdoors is so much fun..
Hi elliecu.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SueA,CA (11:37:22 pm) : I don't have a recipe anywhere but in my head for
the shrimp. (Sorry I was typing again). I use vegetable oil, chili powder,
onion powder, minced garlic, vinegar, lemon zest (if I have it) black pepper
and maybe cayenne-if only for adults. I put the raw shrimp in for an hour or
two. Then we skewer them up and grill.
