Fruit Salad and Boiling Venison

Fruit Salad

Today I learned how to make a fruit salad. The fruits that I used were grapes cut in half, pears, apples, melons and pineapples that were cut into macedoine blocks. They were all mixed into one bowl and fruit juice was added (fruit cocktail).

Venison

The chunks of venison were added to a big boiling pot and water was added to cover the meat. The venison cooked until it was tender and taken out. The liquid left behind in the pot was used to make a brown sauce. Celery carrots and potatoes were added to the pot and cooked until tender. The scum had to be removed while it was cooking. The meat was then put back into the sauce and spices where added to give it a rich flavor.
