assistant: Further update:  The peaches were not home-canned, but had been opened,
 mashed and frozen by one of the Moms.  They have now pretty much
 cleared them of botulism.  For a while then, the conjecture was that
 the two boys smothered under the blankets.  Now they have gone back to
 "not sure at all".
  Agreed.  Especially since no one yet knows exactly what happened and
  who, if anyone, is to blame.  Or how to prevent it from happening
  again.
 Thanks -- that is what I had thought I had heard.  Good to get it
 confirmed.

assistant: Hi Steve,
My husband's dad grew up in McClure, PA.  We usually get a big HUH? when
we say McClure so we say "between Harrisburg and Williamsport", then
further narrow down if people know the area.
My husband Steve is active duty with the Army, 5 more years to hit the
magic number 20.  He went in from Swansboro, NC; we lived there for 8
years so got to know quite a range of Marine type folks.  His MOS is 98C
with German Language trailer, if you understand Army MOSs.  Before he
went in, he worked at MCAS, Cherry Point.
Having spent the last 15 years traveling the USA & world, our eating
tastes have been greatly expanded.  We spent 6 years in Germany (86-89
in Frankfurt, 89-92 in Berlin), he did a year in Korea March 96-March
97) and we've been camped out in the southwest since Janurary, 93.  I do
a good ethnic mix in my cooking, depends on what mood I'm in, how close
to payday and what's in the freezer & cupboard.
Catch you later,

      Title: Basic Wet Brine For Game Birds
 Categories: Game, American, Smoking, Cured
      Yield: 3 1/2 cups
  1 1/2 c  Water
    1/2 c  Fresh orange juice, apple
           - juice, or cranberry juice
    1/2 c  Dry white wine or sherry
    3/4 c  Soy sauce
    1/4 c  Kosher salt
    1/4 c  Firmly packed dark brown
           - sugar, honey, or molasses
      1 ts Onion powder
      2 tb Ground ginger
      1 tb Dried rosemary
      1 tb Dried basil
  A dry brine is a seasoned salt mixture; a wet brine is traditionally
  an 80 percent salt solution. In the recipe that follow, the
  percentage of salt has been lowered for health reasons. The salt
  inhibits bacterial growth in the meat.
  This basic brine for smoking can be used on meats and birds alike. It
  renders a particularly pleasing quality to quail, squab, and
  pheasant. The amount is sufficient for 8 small birds, 2 ducks, 2
  pheasants, 2 rabbits, or 1 goose.
  Combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly. If brining fatty birds
  such as goose and duck, puncture skin lightly with a fork. Brine
  small birds or rabbit for 4 to 6 hours; larger birds for 8 to 12
  hours refrigerated. Make sure the bird or birds are fully submerged
  in the brine. Remove bird(s) from brine and allow to sit before
  smoking. Brine may be re-used. Boil for 5 minutes and use within a
  week or two.

      Title: Wild Boar Chops With Citrus, Shallot And Mustard Cream Sa
 Categories: Game, American, Pork, Sauces
      Yield: 4 servings
      1    Recipe Basic Dry Game
           - Marinade
      4    Thick-cut wild boar chops
           - (5 to 6-oz each)
MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
      2 tb Mixed chopped lemon zest and
           - orange zest, or 1 tb
           - finely chopped dried rose
           - hips
    1/4 c  Finely chopped shallots
    1/4 c  Red wine vinegar
    1/4 c  Red wine
      3 tb Honey
    1/4 c  Cream
      1 tb Dijon-style mustard
      2 tb Butter (optional)
  Adapted from a recipe by Mark Stech-Novak, a Northern California chef
  and an artist when it comes to game cooking, this simple method
  showcases the flavor of wild boar chops. Stech-Novak's original
  recipe calls for 1/4 cup dried rose hip pieces instead of the citrus
  zest.
  Prepare marinade and sprinkle enough of it on the chops to coat
  lightly. Rub into meat on both sides. Refrigerate for 4 to 5 hours.
  Preheat oven to 300F. In a nonstick pan, saute chops in butter until
  browned on both sides. Place in preheated oven and cook until cooked
  through but still juicy, 12 to 15 minutes.
  While chops are cooking, make sauce. Place citrus zest, shallots,
  vinegar, wine, and honey in a small saucepan and reduce over
  medium-high heat until 1 tb remains. Add cream and mustard and reduce
  by half. If desired, swirl in butter. Strain sauce, pour over chops,
  and serve immediately.
  Recommended Wine: A full-throttle Zinfandel or Petite Sirah with
  hints of pepper and spice would be an ideal accompaniment to this
  hearty, flavorful boar dish.

  until lightly browned. Add all remaining ingredients and bring to a
  boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Let cool before using.
