We prefer Nutella on it instead of PB+J. |

I also save half gallon milk cartons. I cut the carton in half and put the portions in the carton before it all goes in the food barrel to protect the pieces from being banged around. |

A friend once played with a "health bar" mixture and added to much milk. He just added more and created a "new" pancake. It was a hit to grab the left over ones for munching on while away from camp |

It is very good but kind of a pain to make. The "dough" is difficult to work with. I wasn't sure which recipe, of those on his site, to use, so I kind of changed it up a bit. One recipe called for brown sugar, one for regular sugar so I used one cup of each. Also, omitted the maple flavor and used vanilla instead. Like one of the member from the thread several years ago, added cinnamon and M&M's. They were nice additions. I lined the pans with parchment paper so I could pop the whole thing out and then used a pizza cutter to slice nice smooth edged, even pieces. I am also really surprised how many people involved in Boy Scouts in my area are not familiar with this, since I believe the recipe's origin is in scouting. I can't wait to try it for hiking and paddling. |

quote boonie: "how long does the Hudson Bay bread keep after you make it - about a week?" I make it in big batches and store the Hudson Bay Bread in the freezer until I need it. I have taken it on 2 week trips with no problem. |

quote DrBobDg: "Fruitcake.... I must admit I am partial to it. Made a batch of fruitcake cookies that wilderness mama had posted on another website. I must confess she was way over the acceptable limits of fruit in it. My next batch will have half as much and more flour. Please post or email me that recipe! |

Made a great bar, I wrapped then individually with saran wrap after I cut them up. I think they are as good or better than the various granola bars we take on trips. finding a way to really press down the recipe to make a firm bar is a good thing...and old fashion oats seemed to work as well as quick oats dr bob |

My next batch will have half the amount of fruit. Fruitcake Recipe |

quote Jackfish: "Do you make a batch of Hudson Bay Bread to take on your canoe trips? We take some every year and the guys love it. Great energy source, and it's tasty by itself or with peanut butter and jelly on it." Ok I'm going to come out of the closet and admit to the world that I bring fruit cake on trips. Great energy source. Drop it in a pan and toast in the morning and you're good for the day. |

quote DrBobDg: "Here you go. drop the candied fruit and add your favorite dried non nuclear colored stuff. Also nuts are a great addition I love the idea of doing the "cookie" part Also instead of apple sauce, I used pear sauce we made from a load of dropped pears we gathered from a old tree one year |

or just skip the fruit and do craisons or raisons. Also thinking of adding a bit more flour to the recipe next time. more experiments for the laboratory.............. :-) drbob |

Decided to make a another batch today. This is the link to the original recipe Fruitcake Recipe Note: misspelling for cloves/nutmeg...should be tspn My first batch seemed to have too much fruit and on the tacky side. This batch I added an additional 3/4 cup flour. used only 1/2# of candied fruit I didn't have any chopped dates so I used craisons instead also no white wine but did have blackberry flavored wine. Hey...they turned out pretty decent. might even give some away to some unsuspecting person. dr bob |
