I have left over huckleberries to use up. Now, maybe if this weekend is a nahsty one.....mmmmmmmmmmm.
What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

I make turnovers about every 3 or 4 nights.... they cool down faster than pie...
I use regular pie-crust pastry... and tried this the other night for a filling:
1 cup dried prunes - minced
1/2 cup walnuts - chopped
2 teaspoons freshly grated orange peel
1 tablespoon brown sugar
cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, cardamom
dash of salt
1/2 teaspoon tapioca
the mixture seemed a little dry so I added
1 tablespoon maple syrup
I thought they were pretty good. Girlfriend thought they were a bit dry - she didn't like the texture. ( She won't eat couscous or tabouli either. )
maybe Sarbar or dicentra can improve on it...

Here is a recipe for Jam Tarts (from the old Peanuts Cookbook). Similar to poptarts, but simpler i.e. more suited for the culinary touron.
Franklin's Jam Tarts
2 C flour
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 C shortening
1/4 C water
Sift flour and salt and combine with shortening. Add water to make dough. Roll out dough and cut circular top and bottom crusts with the top of a drinking glass. Place tsp of jam (or as much as you can) on bottom layer, place top layer over bottom and press edges together. Bake at 375 deg for 25 minutes.
edit: I forgot to add, put a few slits in the top of each jam tart to allow heat to escape, and sprinkle the tops with sugar after you've pulled them from the oven.

I thought I'd give it another shot... so I tried
about 3/4 cup small dried prunes - cut up into quarters
about 2/3 cup dried cranberries
about 2/3 cup walnuts - chopped
I didn't have fresh grated orange peel so I used
about 1/2 teaspoon dried orange peel
dash salt
cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, cardamom
1/2 teaspoon tapioca
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
I soaked the prunes and cranberries ( with the dried orange peel ) in about 1/4 cup boiling water for about half an hour, then mixed in the
rest of the ingredients.
These turned out way better - she even liked them this time.

you can also throw them into the food processor to make a more paste-like texture.

Even the major news agencies are picking up on the trend.
Touron is a nougat of Arabic origin made with almonds and honey or sugar, without which it would just not be Christmas in Spain.

hmmmm.....I wonder how long homemade pop tarts would last if I threw them in the vacuum sealer. I would use a simple butter, egg and flour dough with jam or nutella inside....

Not so long honestly for prime taste. They are something to savor right away, preferably hot
I did them awhile back and they were quite tasty....

Oh I def agree on the hot factor. This is what I was thinking: bake em up, freezer them individually, then vacuum seal, store in freezer. On a 3 day trip, take a couple out and by the time they defrost they are ready to eat on the trail.
2 concerns:
1. soggy pop. Although I could prolly deal with this by freezing first in dry ice
2. stale pop. If i freeze em, and have em3-4 days in, how fresh would they taste? I would prolly give them a quick turn in the pan to warm them up in the morning...
