Thanks to Woodwidow for putting up the apple tart recipe a few weeks ago, I saw a recipe in the local paper and made one this morning. Quick firing photos. Random pieces of oak, maple and locust. The split maple really cranks this thing up. Flame show out the door. This recipe is just a crust golden delicious apples, sugar butter and some apricot jam with water that is cooked and strained before brushing on the apples at the end of cooking. It is pretty basic. A little whipped cream on top and a cup of coffee.
Ooooh nice! a much simpler recipe but I bet it tastes just as awesome. I will have to try the apricot jam glaze next time. Do the maple, oak and locust coals impart any flavor to the baked goods? Baking potatoes in our boiler base after the fire has gone out gives it that outdoor fire flavor.
And I will make the upside down tart too. There is no smokey flavor at all. All the wood is burned down to small coals and ash. When I scoop the coals out, the oven has a hot, clean smell to it, if that makes any sense.
Yes, it does make sense. Campinspecter and I discussed this and have come to conclusion that we are going to stick to using the boiler. I am going to try and find some combination cookware so we could cook food in layers. During the winter, we almost burn everyday so the base stays quite hot for quite awhile. Be fun to try anyway.
