Hudson Bay Bread

**IA Woodsman** · 08-30-2010, 07:35 PM

I have been trying to get the ball rollin on the menu for the 101 class in a couple weeks. I decided to go with a classic for lunch on Saturday. Hudson Bay Bread. It is really not bread more like a beastly granola bar. This is not a light snack, it is loaded with carbs. It is even better when you put peanut butter and jelly on it. Here is the ingredients.

Ingredients:
3/4 lb. softened butter
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup light Karo syrup
1/3 cup honey
1 tsp maple flavoring
3/4 cup ground nuts (walnuts)
9 cups Quaker 1-minute oats

First off, take all of the ingredients except for the oats and nuts, and mix them together.

Then add the oats and nuts and mix them well.

Press them into a pan, so they are about 1/2" thick. Put it in the oven at 325 for 15 min. Take them out and press the baked mixture with a spatula while it is hot. This will keep it from falling apart when it cools. Cut it when it is still warm.

Let it cool, and enjoy.

I used wax paper to separate these and vacuum sealed them They are going into the freezer till I pack for the Bushcraft 101 class in Sept.

I'm so looking forward to this class. No just for the awesome woods learning but for the awesome Ia food.

You guys just wait, it won't take long for you to realize how good dehydrated food is when Terry is making it.

Terry that beats the hell out of my Rice Crisby cakes!! Looks like it will hold you over for awhile. Do you know what the calorie count is on them bad boys?

Ok everyone, I got the High carb idea! What about people like myself that have diabetes and should stay away from high carb food,what do we eat while in the bush? Any ideas would be helpful!
Thanks,
Foxrun

I have had them in a pack fo about 2 weeks and they were good to go. Never had them get sticky.

Mac, I have no Idea the calorie count. But I have a hunch it is a lot.

I really like to cook at home. I like to cook in the woods even more. Iz thinks we are doing dehydrated meals in Sept. He is incorrect. I will be doing all most all fresh food. I think learning how to cook in the woods really enhances the outing.
