Prepare the casings and stuff the mixture loosely into them.
Dip the sausages in a mixture of 4.5 litres boiling water and 350 ml vinegar,
then hang them over wooden rods that are thick enough in diameter to prevent the
inner surfaces of the sausage from touching.
Dry the sausage in a cook draughty place for 24 hours, then remove the sausage
and flatten by rolling across a cutting board, so that any pockets of air in the
sausage or between the sausage and the casing are removed. (These air pockets
can cause mould to set in when the sausage is drying). Put the sausage back over
the wooden rods and continue to dry to your taste. This will normally take about
2 weeks.
Biltong is South African dried meat. The word comes from Dutch with BIL meaning buttock and TONG meaning strip. Biltong has been around for centuries; for instance, a more primitive form, the Dutch tassal, was also prepared in certain areas of France during the late Middle Ages. Tassal was also made in Batavia, and made its way to South Africa with the Dutch settlers where it was adapted to the less pungent biltong.
Cut the meat along the natural dividing lines of the muscles of the particular piece of meat you have chosen. Cut the meat into strips of about 2 " thick and as long as you like, always cutting the meat with the grain.
Mix the salt, sugar, bicarbonate of soda (this makes the biltong tender), saltpeter, pepper and coriander together and rub the mixture into the strips of meat.
Layer the meat – with the more bulky pieces at the bottom – in a non-reactive container and sprinkle a little vinegar over each layer.
Leave the meat in a cool place for 12 hours or more, depending on how salty you want the meat to be (you may need to experiment a little until you find the right time to let the meat ‘marinade’.
Mix the water and vinegar and dip the biltong into it (this makes it shiny and dark). Once this is complete, the meat is ready to dry. Pat the pieces of meat dry and hang them up on S-shaped hooks – or use pieces of string – about 2 " apart (so that the air can circulate freely among the strips of meat). There are many theories on how to dry biltong. Probably the most popular is to hang it in a cool, dry place with an oscillating fan blowing on it. It is very important that the air is dry. If there is too much moisture in the air, the meat will spoil.
The biltong is ready when the outside is hard, and the center part of the biltong strip is still a little moist. How dry or moist you allow the center to become is a matter of personal taste.

Braaied Tomato, Onion and Cheese breads
Butter bread on both sides.
Spread fruit chutney on the inside of two slices, then make sandwiches with sliced tomato,
onion and sharp cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Fasten a piece of string
around the sandwich like
you would do with a parcel (this is to keep the slices of onion and tomato from falling
out) - If you have a braai basket or a rooster you can also use it to hold the sandwiches
together. Toast the sandwiches over medium-low coals on the braai until lightly browned on
each side, and the cheese has melted.
Remove the string before serving.
Combine the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, ground cloves, brown sugar, and almonds in a large bowl. Add the butter and cut into the flour mixture. Add the beaten eggs and red wine and mix dough together vigorously until it can be formed into a ball.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rough circle about 1/4" thick. With a cookie cutter, cut the dough into 2" rounds. Arrange the rounds about 1" apart on a buttered cookie sheet. Continue cutting cookies, then brush each gently with the egg white. Bake for 15 minutes - until golden brown. Remove to a rack to cool completely.
The secret of the crisp syrupy outside of koeksisters is that they are taken straight from hot oil and dipped into ice-cold syrup. This seals the syrup outside and leaves the inside dryish in contrast.
To make the syrup, mix a liter of sugar, 5 ml cream of tartar, 2.5 ml tartaric acid and 5 ml vanilla essence or grated orange rind or cinnamon, or 1.5 ml ginger with 500 ml of water. Bring mixture to the boil and allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes or until syrupy. Set syrup aside to cool. It is advisable to make the syrup first and leave it overnight in the fridge.
To make the batter, sift 500 ml flour, 10 ml baking powder and 5 ml salt into a mixing bowl. Cut or rub 70 ml of margarine or butter into the dry ingredients. Beat an egg thoroughly and add it to 80 ml of milk. Add the egg and milk to the flour mixture, handling as little as possible. Put the dough in the fridge for at least one hour. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 4 mm. Cut into strips about 8 cm long and 2.5 cm wide. Cut each strip into three lengthwise, leaving one side uncut. Now plait the three pieces and press ends together firmly.
Pre-heat a deep pan and remove syrup from the fridge. The hot fried koeksisters must be dropped into the cold syrup. The syrup will warm up about halfway through, so divide the syrup into two bowls. Deep-fry koeksisters until golden brown, drain for a few seconds on absorbent paper and dip into cold syrup.
Line the bottoms and sides of 2 pie plates with the puff pastry and
make a raised edge for each.
To make the filling, add the butter, salt and cinnamon to the boiling milk. Mix the
custard powder , cornflour and cake flour to a paste with the cold milk. Stir in a little
of the milk mixture. Stir the custard mixture into the hot milk, add 50 ml of the sugar
and bring to the boil, stirring continuously. Remove from the stove when it has thickened
and discard the cinnamon. Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gradually beat in
the remaining sugar. Beat the egg yolks lightly and stir in a little of the custard
mixture. Stir the yolks into the custard mixture, then add the almond extract. Carefully
fold in the egg whites.
Pour the mixture into the pastry cases and bake at 200 C for approximately 10 minutes.
Lower the temperature to 180 C and bake for a further 10-15 minutes, or until the filling
has set. Cool slightly and sprinkle the tart with cinnamon sugar.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the dry ingredients. Combine all the wet ingredients, pour them into the dry ingredients, and stir until you have a soft dough, similar to biscuit dough. Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface and roll or pat it to about a 1/2 inch thickness. Cut the dough into rectangles about 2 by 4 inches. Bake the rusks about 2 inches apart on buttered baking sheet for about 25 minutes until the tops are crisping and browning a little. Now, eat a few "soft" rusks warm from the oven. Loosely pile the rusks on a baking sheet and keep them in a 200 degree oven all day or all night (about 12 hours) to dry. The finished rusks should be very dry and hard. Cool and store in an airtight container. Rusks will keep for weeks.

Sift the dry ingredients together and mix in the butter with vinegar’s until it resembles breadcrumbs. Mix egg and milk and add to above. Boil water (must be about 3 cm deep) with a pinch of salt in a casserole with a lid. Use a teaspoon dipped in boiling water to put spoonfuls of the dough into the boiling water. Cover with tight fitting lid and cook slowly for 10 minutes (Don’t peek, as this will cause the dumplings to "fall down" and become rubbery) Remove from heat, pour into a serving bowl and put dots of butter on top. Sprinkle a lot of cinnamon sugar over and serve with vanilla custard.
In a large enameled saucepan, combine the all of the ingredients. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, partially covered, for about 1 hour. Chutney should be thick enough to hold it's own shape.
