Dutch Oven Cookoff



This year Susan and I were able to compete for the state of AZ dutch oven cookoff at the state fair. That is a 3 dish cookoff sponsered by IDOS (international dutch oven society) You have to make a dessert, bread (sourdough or yeast rise) and a main dish. It all has to be done on site from scratch using dutch ovens. We did pretty good. Our dessert took 1st place and our main dish took 2nd place. Our dessert was a chocolate cake with a raspberry sauce and the main dish was a pork loin stuffed with cranberry's and apricots with a mission fig sauce. Our bread wasn't quite done so it took 4th place. We had a good time, but were really tired by the end of the day.
