Question:

Do you know a recipe for a fruit dessert made around a campfire?

All I remember about the dessert was that it had fruit in the middle (the crust might have been bread, but I don't remember) and that they wrapped it in foil and placed it right into the fireIt was outstandingI know they offer the campfire irons but I would really like to make these again and wish I could remember moreAny help would be appreciated.

Answer:

Well, wellAfter 38 years of playing Boy Scout, I finally see a beautiful girl cooking on a open fireGreat! You can let your Imagination run wild with this one For the bread, you can use bread, cake mix, bisquick, or the best is pie crustYou can choose just about any pie filling you likeEven the ones sold in a canLayer it how ever you want and sprinkle a little sugar on itBut here is the secretYou must either spray your aluminum foil with something like Pam , coat it with butter, grease, Crisco, etcThen you have to make absolutely sure the seams of the foil are tightYou are trying to make a little pressure cookerLay directly on hot coalsNo flamesTime will depend on the thickness of the packet and the heat of the coalsAlso, you can cook great foil packages of foodLike hamburger, sliced potatoes, onion, peppers, chicken, pineapple, and again let your stomach be your guide for combinationsInstead of greasing the foil, put bout 2 tbspof water in the packet before you seal itIf you can get some Industrial Aluminum foil, or double your foil if using store bought, your results will be betterNo seal means burnt food.
