• Description
  • It is fair time in the US... state fairs, county fairs, regional fares, etc.  SO, I decided to share a few recipes of food that you'll find at fairs in the Midwest.  This is our last episode of fair food, and this time it isLemonade Shake-Ups and Sausage, Pepper and Onion Sandwiches - Russ doesn't like either one, so you'll have to take MY word on the fact that they're yummy!
• Ingredients
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice (6 to 8 lemons)
• Directions
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring water and sugar to a boil. Continue cooking 5 minutes, or until sugar is completely dissolved, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Place in refrigerator to chill until ready to serve. When ready to serve, place 1/2 cup lemon syrup in a plastic drink shaker or 1-quart jar. Add equal amounts of cold water and ice as well as a lemon wedge, cover tightly, and shake vigorously 1 to 2 minutes. Pour into tall glasses over additional ice, garnish with lemon slices, and enjoy!

• Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 green bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 2 red bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound hot Italian rope sausage, cut into 2-inch lengths
  • 1/4 cup beer (optional)
  • 4 hoagie rolls, split
• Directions
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add peppers, onion, and salt; cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add sausage and beer, if desired, and cook 10 to 15 more minutes, or until sausage is no longer pink in center, stirring occasionally. Evenly divide mixture onto hoagie rolls and serve immediately. If you want these a bit saucier, feel free to top each sandwich with 1/4 cup spaghetti sauce -- just don't forget the napkins!

Segment 5 (Cheryl's Recipe Corner)

• Fried Cheese Curds
• Description
  • It is fair time in the US... state fairs, county fairs, regional fares, etc. SO, I decided to share a few recipes of food that you'll find at fairs in the Midwest. Here, in Missouri, we are in the middle of "Dairy Country" (it's not just in Wisconsin!), and one of the big things here is Fried Cheese Curds! SO... that is one of today's recipes - and the other if fried pies. Russ is a HUGE fan of both of these... but we love cheese and pies! Next time, I'll share more fair recipes with you!
• Ingredients
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup beer
  • 2 pounds cheese curds
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cups vegetable oil
• Directions
  • In a large bowl, combine buttermilk and beer. Add cheese curds and mix until evenly coated; set aside. In a shallow dish, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper; mix well. In a soup pot over medium heat, heat oil until hot. Remove curds from buttermilk mixture using a slotted spoon, making sure to drain curds well. Place 1/4 of the curds in flour mixture and toss until evenly coated. Place curds in oil making sure not to crowd, and fry 3 to 5 minutes, or until light golden. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining curds; serve immediately.
• Notes
  • For a tasty dipping sauce, try mixing 1/4 cup of ranch dressing with 2 teaspoons of hot sauce. Of course, you can dip your cheese curds into any of your other favorite dipping sauces, too! If you're having a hard time finding cheese curds in your local supermarket, you can buy them online at The Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery.
• Fried Pies
• Ingredients
  • 1 (14.1-ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts
  • 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 8 mini peanut butter cups, chopped
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• Directions
  • If you don't want chocolate/peanut butter... you can substitute pie filling of any flavor. Unroll one pie crust and, using a knife, square the edges. Cut into 6 squares, 3-1/2-inches wide by 3-1/2-inches long. Place 5-6 chocolate chips in center of square, and a few pieces of peanut butter candy. Fold the dough over the candy, forming triangles. With a fork, press the edges together firmly to seal. Repeat with remaining pie crust and candy. In a medium skillet, over medium heat, heat oil until hot. Place a few pies into skillet and cook 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with remaining pies. Cool slightly before serving.
