Background on the Sweet Potato – State Vegetable of North Carolina

Students at a Wilson County school petitioned the North Carolina General Assembly for the establishment of the sweet potato as the Official State Vegetable. Their assignment lead to the creation of the newest state symbol.

North Carolina is the largest producer of sweet potatoes in the nation harvesting over four billion pounds of the vegetable in 1989. The sweet potato is high in vitamins A and C and low in fat and was grown in North Carolina before the European colonization of North America.

The sweet potato was officially designated the State Vegetable by the General Assembly of 1995. (Session Laws, 1995, c. 521).

-North Carolina Secretary of State

Sugar Maple – Official State Flavor of Vermont

Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum), became the official tree of both Wisconsin and Vermont in 1949. New York followed suit and adopted it as the official state tree in 1956. Vermonters enjoy the sugar maple so much that as of April 26, 1994, the sugar maple went into effect as their Official State Flavor.

One of the benefits of having the Sugar Maple as the state tree is being able to enjoy its delectable sugar maple candies in the fall

Each year, usually in March, Indians would go to collect sap from maple trees and make sugar and maple syrup. Native American’s discovered long ago that maple trees have a sweet sap that can be drained from the tree and boiled to make syrup and sugar. They used an adze (like an ax) to make a cut in the maple tree’s bark. A short stick was pushed into the opening and the sap ran down the stick and into a bucket (usually a bark pan or wooden bowl) below.

Mothers would make candy for their children by folding little cones of thin birch bark and filling them with sugar. They also made molded candies. First they would carve the shapes of animals, moons, and stars into wooden molds. Then they pressed soft sugar into the molds. When the sugar hardened, they wrapped it in thin pieces of birch bark.

Recipe for Maple Sugar Candy

You can make an easy maple candy. This recipe makes about 30 candies.



Ingredients for Maple Sugar Candy:

  • 1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (or maple-flavored pancake syrup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound powdered sugar

    • Utensils:

    • Large mixing bowl
    • Large wooden spoon
    • Cookie sheet (covered with aluminum foil or parchment or wax paper)
    • Plastic candy molds, if you have some

    Directions for Maple Sugar Candy:

    1. Wash your hands well and get all your ingredients and utensils together.
    2. Put the first three ingredients in the bowl and mix with the spoon.
    3. Mix in the sugar. When it gets difficult to stir, use your hands to mix it until it is smooth.
    4. Add more sugar if the dough sticks to your hands.
    5. Roll 1-inch balls and set them out on the cookie sheet till they get firm.
    6. If you want to make molded candies, press the mixture into the plastic candy molds. If you don’t have candy molds you could try using small lids or bottle tops; butter them first so the candy won’t stick.
    7. When the candy firms up, pop it out of the forms and let the candy harden on a cookie sheet. These are a fondant-type candy, which means that they won’t get really hard.

    Note: You can dip the balls in melted chocolate if you want, or roll them in coconut, chopped nuts, or dry cereal.

    Sweet Potato Custard

    Sweet Potato Custard by galateadia

    The Sweet Potato is the official State Vegetable of North Carolina, and more than 40% of all sweet potatoes are grown there. Sweet potatoes have been around for a long time, all the way back to prehistoric times, when they may have been a favorite snack of herbivore dinosaurs.


    According to the North Carolina SweetPotato Commission:

    In 1543 DeSoto’s Spanish explorers found sweet potatoes growing in “Indian gardens” in what became Louisiana. The sweet potatoes were also cultivated in the Carolina area of North America before the European colonization.

    The American “yam” is a copper-colored Sweet Potato with a golden-red flesh that is moist when cooked and has a sweeter flavor than the “drier” varieties, They are grown primarily in the South, most notably North Carolina (43,000 acres) and Louisiana with California, Mississippi, Alabama, New Jersey, Texas, and South Carolina following.

    In Colonial days sweet potatoes were an item of trade and were shipped from the Carolinas out to northern cities. The potato was an essential food for all the colonies in the days before modern means of preservation.

    Ingredients for Sweet Potato Custard

    • 1 cup sweet potato, cooked, mashed
    • 1/2 cup (about 2) small bananas, mashed
    • 1 cup evaporated skim milk
    • 2 Tbsp brown sugar, packed
    • 2 egg yolks (or 1/3 cup egg substitute), beaten
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/4 cup raisins
    • 1 Tbsp sugar
    • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
    • nonstick cooking spray as needed

    Directions for Sweet Potato Custard

    1. In medium bowl, stir together sweet potato and banana.
    2. Add milk, blending well.
    3. Add brown sugar, egg yolks, and salt,
      mixing thoroughly.
    4. Spray 1-quart casserole with nonstick
      cooking spray. Transfer sweet potato
      mixture to casserole dish.
    5. Combine raisins, sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle over top of sweet potato
      mixture.
    6. Bake in preheated 325 ºF oven for
      40–45 minutes or until knife inserted
      near center comes out clean.

    1. SALMON WITH GNOCCHI AND ROASTED RED PEPPER
    2. Tasty Salmon Treats for You

    According to NOAA Fisheries Service:

    • Salmon are an important source of spiritual and physical sustenance for west coast Indian tribes, and they are very important to many other residents of the west coast and to west coast economies.
    • Chinook salmon are also called tyee or king salmon. They are called “king” because they are the largest of the Pacific salmon. Chinook salmon reach as much as 58 inches in length and up to 129 pounds in weight, but generally Chinook mature at about 36 inches and 30 pounds.
    • Chinook salmon mature and return to fresh water to spawn after reaching an age of 2 to 7 years.
    • The scientific name for Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, is derived from the Greek works onkos (hook), rynchos (nose), and tshawytscha (the common name for the species in Siberia and Alaska).

    SALMON WITH GNOCCHI AND ROASTED RED PEPPER


    By ASMI

    This salmon recipe can be prepared with frozen fish and takes less than a half-hour to prepare.
    Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 12 minutes Servings: 4

    Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup roasted red bell pepper
    • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
    • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
    • 1/4 to 1/2 whole jalapeno pepper, chopped
    • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
    • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
    • 1 cup chicken broth
    • 1 package (1 pound) vacuum-packed prepared potato gnocchi (dumplings) OR 4 cups cooked orzo
    • 4 Salmon steaks or fillets (4 to 6 oz. each), fresh, thawed or frozen
    • 1 Tablespoon olive, canola, peanut or grapeseed oil
    • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning

    Directions

    In blender, puree red peppers, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, cornstarch, jalapeno, and garlic. Blend in cilantro and chicken broth. In a small saucepan, cook and stir pepper sauce over high heat until boiling. Reduce heat; cover and keep warm.

    Cook gnocchi according to package directions; keep warm.

    Rinse any ice glaze from frozen salmon under cold water; pat dry with paper towel. Heat a heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of salmon with oil. Place salmon in heated skillet and cook, uncovered, about 3 to 4 minutes, until browned. Shake pan occasionally to keep fish from sticking.

    Turn salmon over and sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning. Cover pan tightly and reduce heat to medium. Cook an additional 6 to 8 minutes for frozen salmon OR 3 to 4 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.

    To serve, add 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese to gnocchi. Portion 1 cup gnocchi onto each serving plate; drizzle with sauce. Top with salmon and drizzle with remaining sauce.

    According to the North Carolina Secretary of State:

    The General Assembly of 2001 designated the Scuppernong grape as the official State Fruit (Session laws, 2001, c. 488).

    The first grape to be actively cultivated in the United States, the Scuppernong is a variety of muscadine grape. It was named for the Scuppernong River, which runs from Washington County to the Albemarle Sound. The Roanoke colonists are believed to have discovered the Scuppernong “Mother Vineyard,” a vine that is now over 400 years old and has a trunk more than two feet thick.

    Grape cultivation is a small but growing part of the North Carolina economy.

    Scuppernong Juice Ingredients


    • 3 pounds scuppernong or other muscadine grapes, crushed
    • 1 cup water

    Directions for making Scuppernong Juice

    1. Bring ingredients to a boil in a large saucepan.
    2. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes.
    3. Pour mixture through a double thickness of damp cheesecloth, discard solids.
    4. To serve as a juice to drink, stir in 1 1/4 cups sugar and chill.

    Yield 3 1/2 cups.

    According to the New York State Library:

    The apple was adopted as the State fruit in 1976. Apples are sweet and crisp, and many varieties are grown in New York.

    Apples were introduced in the 1600s by European settlers who brought seeds to New York. Dried apples were a staple for colonists and hard apple cider was a popular drink.

    In addition to New York, the following states have also designated the apple, or a specific apple variety as their state fruit: Minnesota, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia.

    Ingredients for Baked Apples


    • 4 medium apples
    • raisins
    • 1 cup water

    The state animal was selected by a vote of Illinois schoolchildren in 1980. Candidates were nominated by the General Assembly and the Illinois State Museum. The children selected the White-tailed Deer, and a bill, effective January 1, 1982, was passed by the General Assembly and signed into law by Governor James R. Thompson.

    1. Ingredients for Venison & Potato Soup
    2. Directions
    3. Tasty Venison Treats for You

    From Busy People’s Slow Cooker Cookbook, by Author Dawn Hall of Swanton, Ohio

    (Beef can be substituted for the deer meat in this recipe.)

    It is important to note that white-tailed deer meat can and is easily substituted for beef in recipes using tomatoes or tomato juice. Ground white-tailed deer meat makes for a tasty burger, but most people in our area like white-tailed deer meat either in a sausage form or in a stew.

    White-tailed deer meat is lean and tends to be a chewier, tougher red meat than a finely fat-marbled red meat such as beef or pork. To tenderize white-tailed deer meat (also known as venison) tomato sauce or tomato juice is often used.

    Slow cooking white-tailed deer meat (venison) in a slow cooker is an ideal solution for tenderizing and cooking this meat at the same time. The process of slow cooking breaks down the toughness of meat; thus a slow cooker recipe using tomatoes, salsa or tomato juice are ideal!

    People who are “meat and potato” eaters tend to especially like this soup. The tomatoes in the salsa helps to tenderize the deer meat.

    Ingredients for Venison & Potato Soup

    • 4 cups water
    • 1 (16-ounce) bag frozen, Southern style hash browns
    • 1 cup frozen chopped onion or 1 medium onion, chopped
    • 1 pound ground white-tailed deer, cut into bite-size pieces (Or extra-lean ground beef)
    • 2 (4-ounce) cans mushroom stems and pieces, not drained
    • 1 (2 1/2-ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
    • 1 (16-ounce) jar chunky salsa


    Directions

    1. Spray a slow cooker with nonfat cooking spray.
    2. Put into the slow cooker the water, hash browns, onion, deer meat, mushrooms, onion soup mix, and salsa and stir until well mixed.
    3. Cover and cook in the slow cooker on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 to 9 hours.
    4. If desired, salt and pepper to taste.
