Holiday meals 2019

I'd never heard of these so looked up recipes with a view to making them for Dish of the Month (Pancakes). But then I got to this part:

'You need a special Aebleskive pan for frying.'
Yes, you do....
Try it. You might like it. :bbq: :cook::spaghetti:Except you don't flip these. You rotate/push them about 1/4 of a turn till done. I first tried them in a quaint little village called Solvang, with windmills and wooden shoes. They were sprinkled with powdered sugar and served with jam on the side. You could probably make them savory.

What is pickled pork?

It's a roll of pork that is brined with saline?? I think. I'll ask my butcher mate when I see him. I think it's soaked as well?? Then when cooking you boil it. I normally change water once. With apple sauce it's a real treat. We all love it here. It's not cheap and not all butchers make it. I buy ( I actually pay for this) it every Xmas.

OK - sounds like gammon in a way. It would be interesting to know how your butcher prepares it.
 
Pork butt usually. These are the ingredients for one version of pickled pork and the butt is placed in a plastic bag and pickled for two weeks. Some folks sub pickled pork for ham hocks in red beans and rice.

2 cups water
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup kosher salt
6 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons yellow mustard seed
2 tablespoons hot sauce
1 tablespoon celery seed
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
8 ounces ice
1 1/2 pounds fresh boneless pork butt, cut into 2-inch cubes
