Examples of recipes from Winnipesaukee Cuisine... Campfire Specialties MARK ISLAND BEAN HOLE BEANS By Ray Keating The Bean Hole Dig a pit at least 3 feet deep by 3-4 feet diameter (no small task on this island). Our pit was dug with a large buried rock making up one side. Place flat stones level on the bottom of the pit and line the sides of the pit with rocks. You will need some kind of a fireproof cover for the pit, such as a large flat stone or a steel plate. At least 4 - 6 hours before you will start cooking the beans, build a fire in the pit. You can use any wood, but hard wood or natural charcoal works the best. (The entire recipe will be found in Winnipesaukee Cuisine) Helpful Hints: It’s a good idea to notify the Gilford Fire Department  that you intend to fire up your bean hole, as you probably won’t have enough beans left after feeding the crew from Snuffer to feed your family.

Bob’s Silver Bullets Robert Ierardi – Cheers from The Big House on Round Island! Made with Drambuie, Triple Sec and Brandy in a pony glass… Then lit on FIRE! Notes: Lighting the drink is much easier if you fill the pony glass with the first two ingredients and leave only enough room in the glass for the brandy to float on top. Remember to blow out the flame before drinking! Fast-Acting Blueberry Pancakes Wells – Mark Island pancake or waffle mix (not the “complete” kind) eggs melted butter evaporated milk water wild blueberries Mix the above ingredients, blueberries last. The secret of fast-acting is small (3-4 inch) thin pancakes. Cook in a pan or on a griddle. Flip when bubbles appear. If large, high bush blueberries are used, the thin pancakes will stand off the surface and not cook properly, so “whap” each with a spatula after turning to flatten the berries. If when cooked, any pancakes happen to have no blueberries, they may, with good wrist action and a “whoops!” be flipped high in the general direction of the table. Scoring as follows: 0 points for landing on ground or floor 1 point for landing on the table 3 points for landing on someone’s plate 5 points for landing in a cup of coffee Before the meal finished make sure outhouse door is unlocked. serves 6-8* | GLAZED ASIAN SALMON Judith Norton – Cow Island A simple and delicious island recipe that can be broiled or grilled.
