| Menu | Amount (Each person) |
|---|---|
| Stewed Fruit | 4 Prunes or Apricots |
| Oatmeal | ½ Cup |
| Bacon & Eggs | 2 Slices of Bacon, 2 Eggs |
| Toast & Butter | 2 Slices of Toast |
| Coffee—Milk | Instant Coffee |
DIRECTIONS: An aluminum foil “pot” can be made by forming doubled Reynolds Wrap around a forked sapling. The size pot will depend upon the number in the party. Place dried fruit in enough water to cover them, the night before. A little more water can be added in the morning, if necessary, also a small amount (2-3 teaspoons) of sugar if desired. The pot is carefully placed at edge of camp fire. Oatmeal is cooked in a similar pot. Add ½ cup of oatmeal to each cup of boiling water. Add ¼ teaspoon of salt to boiling water, then stir in oatmeal. When it thickens it’s ready. Now, shape up a similar pan of doubled foil and place bacon in it. When it is about half done, drop in 2 eggs. Eggs should be cooked sunnyside up as it may be difficult for beginners to turn them. Toast is made by sticking 2 or 3 pencil sized saplings, 10 inches long into the ground near the fire. Hang the slices of bread on them and don’t forget to turn them—you are not using a “pop up” toaster.
Coffee of the instant type can be made by using another “foil kettle” but some campers may prefer to use the old fashioned coffee pot.
A forked sapling is bent around in hoop fashion. Doubled Reynolds Wrap is carefully pressed down inside and folded around the rim. Food is put in it before exposing to fire.

FISHERMAN’S DELIGHT
Individual Quantities
| Menu | Amount |
|---|---|
| Trout | ¾ to 1 lb. Fish |
| 2 Slices Bacon | |
| Steamed Potatoes | 1 Med. to Lge. Potato |
| Buttered Onions | 2 Small Onions |
| Bread, Apple Butter | 1 Jar Apple Butter |
| Coffee, Cookies | 4 to 5 Cookies |
| Canned Peaches | 1 Small Can Peaches |
DIRECTIONS: Clean and wash the fish and vegetables. Take about 26 inches of Reynolds Wrap. Place ½ slice of bacon on the wrap. Place fish on top. Slice potatoes in ¼ inch slices and place on top of fish. Slice onions in same manner and place around sides and on top of potatoes. Put another slice of bacon on top of potatoes and onions. Carefully fold foil and crease over to seal. Now fold in the ends to seal in all moisture. Caution—do not make a hole in the wrap.
Place dinner on hot coals for 10 minutes. Now take a blunt stick and turn it over and leave for 10 minutes more. The length of time it is left in the fire is determined by the size of fish. The larger the fish, the more time. Only experience can teach this.
