COALED AND TINNED TROUT

• Sprinkle chile pepper inside as well. Sprinkle a little water (to keep it moist).
• Place other sheet of foil on top, roll sides tight. Place package directly on top of hot briquettes and pile 5-10 briquettes on top of package.
• Cook for 8 to 12 minutes, or until you can hear it sizzling. Cool, cut open foil, and then enjoy.

TROUT PATTIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap up trout in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Place trout in the prepared pan; drizzle butter and lemon juice on top. Fold up aluminum foil to enclose trout in a packet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 1 hour. Cool for 10 minutes. Flake into a large bowl; add onion and celery. Mix in seasoned bread crumbs.
• Beat eggs, mayonnaise, and lemon pepper seasoning in a small bowl until blended. Mix into trout mixture. Form trout mixture into 12 patties.
• Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry patties in batches until deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Mix ketchup and horseradish together in a small bowl to make cocktail sauce. Serve with trout patties.

AUNTIES CANNED TROUT

Steps:

• 10 POUNDS OF PRESSURE FOR 1 HOUR AND 15 MINUTES. Consult your canning book for specific directions, since different canners have slightly different instructions. However, 10# and 90 minutes has worked for any kind of cooker I've ever used.
• Method to can trout[freshwater]. Scale; gut; cut off heads and tails and fins. You can can in pints or quarts. A pint jar will hold around 2 1/2 cleaned fish[8" to 10"]. A quart will hold 4 1/2 +-. Yield--- pints= about 6/8 fish cakes, and a quart 12 to 15, depending on how big you make them.
• Ease the skin off and lift out the backbone if you want, all tho neither are necessary since the bones cook to mush in the canning process.
• Pint jars- 1/2 teaspoon of salt, cooking oil, vinegar then pack jars. Be absolutely sure to wipe off the top of jars. Quart jars- 1 teaspoon salt, then pack the cooker.
• Make sure your pressure cooker is safe. A 22 quart cooker will hold 16 pints or 7 quarts. The next size down is the 16 quart cooker[I think] and will hold 7 quarts or 7 or 8 pints. When the pressure gets to 10 pounds cut heat so the jiggler jiggles 2 to 3 times a minute. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Take off of fire and let pressure reduce on its own. Remove lid and jars, then tighten one more time. And keep your fingers off of the lids. I repeat, Put your hands in your pocket. You'll hear them sea, they will pop when they seal.. If there are any that do not seal just put in the refrigerator and use them first...
