CAMPING TIPS FOR CAMPFIRE COOKING
* Freeze bottles of juice and milk when you pack your ice-box to keep food colder for longer. When these supplies run out resort to your dried and can camp cooking recipes.
* Before leaving home, cook a chicken, leg of lamb or roast beef to provide cold meat for salads and sandwiches. Also hard-boil a few eggs to take with you.* If space and weight is not restricted, start out with a supply of fresh fruit and vegetables. Apples, oranges, mandarins and lemons will last the longest. Onions, carrots, cabbage, pumpkin and potatoes can survive almost 2 weeks. Store them in string bags to allow air to circulate.
* Bake a batch of your favorite cookies, along with packets of dried fruit such as dried apples, prunes, pears etc. Store in an airtight container.
* For a quick energy snack food pack some easy to make, homemade fruit leather.
* Wash hands well before cooking. Cook everything thoroughly. East prepared food straight away.
* Sterilize eating utensils by placing in a little boiling water before use.
* Don't forget to pack the can opener!!!
