Rhubarb sweet rolls

Make filling and dough at the same time.  Refrigerate filling while the dough is rising.

Bake at 350 for 25 min

You can serve this with a glaze but we like them plain.

Flour tortillas

4 cups flour

1/4 cup canola oil

1 2/3 cup HOT water

Mix by hand form 12 balls roll and cook in an oiled frying pan on medium heat.  Flip every 30 seconds.

Smoked sausage

For this recipe we used:

5 lbs ground venison

5 lbs ground pork

I seasoned the meat with the backwoods original seasoning.  I order it from amazon. The casings I use I get at cabela’s and 1 pkg makes 25 lbs of sausage.  I used my cabela’s heavy duty grinder and stuffer to make the sausage. These were made in 32 mm casings.  I preheated our smoker to 225 and smoked these hanging for 3 hours.  It would be smart to check them at 2 1/2.  The internal temperature needs to be 165.

Easter Lily

Easter Lily’s are a family Easter tradition on Jeff’s side of the family and we have made them all 17 of our Easter’s together.  

Make lemon pie filling following the directions on the box. 

Then make the shells:

Mix 1 cup sugar

3 eggs

2 tbsp milk

1 cup flour

1 tsp lemon extract

1 1/2tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

Mix and pour on a greased cookie sheet.  One batch makes 12 Lily’s.  Bake for 8-10 min until golden brown at 350.  While warm form into a lily shape.  

Serve with lemon pie filling and whipped cream or cool whip on top.
