This is the bread pan I got for Christmas. It is spring lock and makes
bread that looks like this-
This is free form with sesame seeds.
Rye with caraway seeds ( and the pot holder Willow made me).
This is the bacon jam my niece made for Christmas gifts.
Great in peanut butter sandwiches! 🙂
And Chili!
I made a big pot for supper.
I started with a 2 1/2 lb beef roast-slightly frozen- cut it into chunks and processed
it until it was medium fine, browned it with a chopped onion.
and then added 3 TBS chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
1 scant tsp sea salt
1 tsp red pepper
1 small can diced tomatoes
Add above to browned meat and simmer for about 30 minutes. Tomatoes will start
to break down. Stir often to keep from scorching.
Add below ingredients- tomato products first, stirring well. Add about 2 1/2 cups water
after paste. Cook for another 30 minutes, then add beans.
1 can tomato sauce
1 small can tomato paste
1 can light red kidney beans
1 can dark red kidney beans
Cook another 3o to 45 minutes, stirring often and then taste. Add extra ( hot sauce) heat at this point.
Add salad and bread and enjoy!
You were busy today and it all looks great. I love your chili and breads. Do you like the new bread pan?
I do like the pan, although I think it would work best with tea breads.
Glorious food for a New Year supper! Love all the photos of your splendid breads and that chilli I could tuck myself round a bowlful right now.. mm..mm. I am not familiar with bacon jam, but it sounds delicious! x Joanna
Joanna-
I’ve never had bacon jam before either- but it has fried bacon and carmelized onions and sugar in it. And it is good in small amounts. It could be overpowering but used sparingly is a good flavor enhancer.
Oh, the potential of the beautiful bread in that pan! YUM! Happy new year Heidi!
Thanks Jill!
I’ve been wanting to make bread for a while now!
Happy New Year, my friend!
Love the pan! That bread looks wonderful.
It is a wonderful sandwich bread, Brydie!
The caraway rye remains my favorite bread, however, flavor and texture!
Delish!
I’ve never seen a springform bread pan before, Heidi! And bacon jam! I’ve heard much about this, but have yet to try it. Love Willow’s potholder too! Chilli and bread, sounds like perfect cold weather food to me! 🙂
I had never seen one before, either, Celia.
I’m looking forward to trying other breads in it as well.
