There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Untested - Cherry Moos

Another Mennonite recipe, this time for sour cherries. I'll have to find myself a source! There are several versions of this recipe, but most ask for canned fruit or cornstarch or food colouring. This is a simpler, cleaner version taken from this location, apparently originally from a book titled taken from "Off the Mountain Lake Range" recipe book.


1 quart sour cherries
2 quarts water
2/3 cup sugar
5 Tbsps. flour
1 cup heavy cream
  1. Add water to cherries and cook until soft.
  2. Add half of the sugar to cherries.
  3. Combine remaining sugar with flour and add cream to make a smooth paste.
  4. Add paste to cherries and cook until thickened, stirring constantly.
  5. Serve warm or cold as desired. Makes 6-8 servings.
