Wild Boar Roll-Ups

10 slices of bacon
10 thinly sliced pork filets
10 oz. dried apricot halves (cut in small slices)
¾ cup dried cranberries
3 Tbs. honey
1 cup fine breadcrumbs
2 Tbs. dried parsley
1 Tbs. all-purpose flour
1 Tbs. parmesan cheese (finely shredded)
1/2 tsp. sugar
3 tsp. Italian seasoning (mine has paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper)
2 Tbs. shortening
2 eggs
10 toothpicks
1 cup apple juice

Don't let this name fool you. It does not have any wild game but this is a serious dish for the pork lover. In a bowl, mix bread crumbs, parsley, flour, cheese, Italian seasoning and sugar. Cut in shortening until mixture is fine crumbs. In a separate bowl mix apricots, cranberries and honey. In another dish beat 2 eggs lightly. Dip one side of the pork filets in the egg mixture and then the crumb mixture. Spoon ¾ cup of apricot mixture onto each pork fillet. Roll fillet (with fruit inside), wrap with a bacon strip and use a toothpick to secure the roll. Place in the bottom of Dutch Oven and add apple juice. Cook for approximately 1 hour at 350 degrees.

Garry's Secret Tri Tip

1 medium-sized Tri Tip
1 large can pineapple and its juices
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup minced garlic
2 cups teriyaki sauce
Seasoning and spices
Red wine

The key to Tri Tip is marinating. I like to marinate my Tri Tip in the fridge or on ice for 24 hours before cooking. I like to use pineapple as it is a natural meat tenderizer. After marinating, you can just dump the marinade and all into the DO and cook for approximately one hour at 325 degrees, or less time if you like it closer to rare. I also like to add red wine to the marinade just before cooking.

Grandma's Green Beans

1lb. bacon (cut in 1 inch squares
2 lbs. fresh green beans
1 can mushroom soup
1/4 cup lemon juice

This recipe is like old country cooking, but I get asked to cook it over and over. You can cook the bacon the night before in a skillet and store it in the fridge in a plastic bag. Put all the ingredients in the DO and cook for approximately 35 minutes at 325 degrees.

San Joaquin Fruit Cobbler

Fruit filling
1 box white cake mix
1 cup flour
3/4 can 7-Up (or similar soft drink)
1 Tbsp. cinnamon

Cobblers are great in the Dutch Oven and you can use your favorite fruit filling. My personal favorites are blueberry or cherry. Apricots, peaches, apples and other fruits work just as well. To make clean up easier, first line your DO with aluminum foil. Put the fruit filling in first, then the cake mix and flour, then add 7-Up. Stir lightly so that some of your fruit filling comes upward and 7-Up is mixed with the cake mix and flour. Add cinnamon to the top of the mixture. Cook for approximately 45 minutes at 325 degrees.

If you lined the DO with aluminum foil, clean-up is simple. After the cobbler has been devoured, just lift the aluminum foil out of the DO and most of the mess goes away with it.

3 cups self-rising flour
