SON OF A GUN IN A SACK (COWBOY PUDDING)



Son of a Gun in a Sack (Cowboy Pudding) image

From an Old Better Homes and Gardens Heritage Cookbook. The narrative below is from there. When the ranch cook wanted to be especially nice to the cowhands he made a boiled pudding sometimes called Son of a Gun in a Sack. Raisins or dried apples and suet were added to a soft dough. Following the old colonial method, the mass was placed in a cloth sack and boiled in a big kettle of water until done. Perhaps it got its name because it was so much trouble to make.

Time 2h25m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups soft breadcrumbs
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup raisins
1 cup suet (5 oz)
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 (5 1/2 ounce) can evaporated milk (2/3 cups)
1/2 cup light molasses
sweetened whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

  • In mixing bowl combine flour, bread crumbs, sugar, soda, salt cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
  • Stir in raisins, suet, and nuts.
  • Stir in milk and molasses; mix well.
  • Arrange layers of cheesecloth to form a 16 inch square about 1/8 inch thick; set in a 1 quart bowl.
  • Fill cheesecloth with pudding mixture; bring up sides of cheesecloth allowing room for expansion of the pudding; tie tightly with string.
  • Place the "sack" in a colander.
  • Place colander in kettle; add enough boiling water to cover the sack.
  • Cover; boil gently for 2 hours.
  • Remove colander from pan; remove cheesecloth from around pudding at once.
  • Turn pudding, rounded side up, on plate.
  • Let stand 30 minutes before service.
  • Serve warm with whipped cream, if desired.
  • NOTE: Suet is the hard fat from around the kidneys of cows and sheep. Do not confuse it with fat from other parts of the animal that may be sold as suet but does not have the same properties. Most of the suet sold in supermarkets these days is suspect, of indeterminate quality and age, and quite likely intended for bird feeders. A butcher would be a more reliable source for suet. If you can't bear the thought of using suet, you can certainly substitute solid vegetable shortening - which also has a relatively high melting point - for suet in most recipes and few people will notice.

SON OF A GUN STEW (COWBOY STEW)



Son of a Gun Stew (Cowboy Stew) image

There are more refined names for this very old stew from the cattle country such as son of a gun stew or S.O.B stew, but the old cowhands preferred this down to earth name. In the old cow camps of the Southwest when an animal was slaughtered out on the range to feed the hands, the first night a stew was made of the innards. In those days the stew was put into a cast iron pot and buried in coals. A Dutch oven or heavy kettle or large heavy frying pan with cover will do. You need to know your guests' tastes before serving this. It's good, usually, for a stag party, either a crowd of sportsmen or card players. Use all of the various kinds of variety meats-or omit any you care to, or can't find in your market.

Categories     Stew

Time 3h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (1 lb) beef tongue
1/2 lb beef tripe
1/2 lb beef kidney
1 lb beef heart
1/2 lb beef liver
1/2 lb beef brains or 1/2 lb veal brain
1/2 lb beef sweetbreads or 1/2 lb veal sweetbreads
1/4 lb salt pork
3 -4 medium onions
4 cups hot water
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon marjoram
1/4 teaspoon thyme
2 -3 tablespoons flour
cold water

Steps:

  • First, prepare all the meats for the stew. Combine beef tongue and tripe in a kettle; add water to cover. Simmer for about 30 minutes, then lift out tripe. Let it cool slightly and cut into strips. Continue to cook tongue for another 30 to 40 minutes. Drain tongue and let it cool slightly, then pull off skin. Cut of fat and gristly portions and cut tongue into 1 1/2 inch cubes.
  • Meanwhile, soak kidney in salted water for about 1 hour, then cut into cubes, cutting out all white veins and fat. Cut beef heart and liver into 1-inch cubes. Parboil brains and sweetbreads in lightly salted water for about 15 minutes. Drain them and cut brains into 1-inch cubes. Remove membrane from sweetbreads and cut or break into pieces.
  • Dice the salt pork. In a large heavy Dutch oven or kettle fry it until crisp and brown. Peel and slice onions and add to salt pork. Cook until brown. Add all pieces of meat except brains and sweetbreads. Cook meat in browned onions, turning and stirring frequently, for about 10 to 15 minutes. Add hot water, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Crush marjoram and thyme and stir into stew. Cover and simmer for about 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until meats are tender. Add brains and sweetbreads and continue simmering another 30 minutes or so. If desired for thickening, blend flour with cold water and stir into stew. When stew simmers again and is thickened, it is ready to serve. (You may not want to thicken the stew). Serve with whatever you wish-steamed rice, mashed potatoes, buttered noodles-or lots of crusty homemade bread. Make 8 to 10 servings.
  • NOTE: Some versions, notably from Texas, are thickened by sprinkling in a little cornmeal and served with corn bread.
  • Soups and Stews The World Over.
