Oooh, I've got a real hankering for sticky date pudding now :mad:
I've got a similar recipe for a microwave jam sponge pudding too. A total of 15 minutes from getting ingredients out to going bing, and it's very nice with some custard slopped over the top. Just have to be careful with the jam being heated to supernova temperatures, or you end up with a smoking hole where your lower jaw used to be. :D
The only difference between the microwave version and the camp oven version is the amount the volume increases during cooking.
In the microwave, it is quite entertaining and slightly concerning the first time you see it. The ingredients quadruple in volume so that the pudding protrudes about 30 or 40 mm above the top of the mug. Fortunately it solidifies enough as it rises to avoid dribbling down the side of the mug. Even so, it is probably wise to sit the mug on a saucer.
When the microwave stops, it settles back to about 10 mm above the top of the mug.

In the camp oven, it rises to a point just below the top of the mug.

Thanks Mrs hh for bringing this thread to life again - we all enjoy licking our lips occasionally. ;)
So here's another one -
Honeyed Chicken Wings
A very popular dish, served hot as an entree with a light salad or hot as a main course with veges or salad. Leftovers, if any, can be served cold next day for lunch or a snack along the road.
Ingredients: Chicken Wings (2 or 3 each), Soy Sauce and honey
Use about 250ml soy and 300g honey to 30 wings.
Method: Marinate wings (or drumsticks) in honey and soy sauce for about six hours by placing in plastic bag, turning occasionally. Place marinade and wings in camp oven and boil (with lid on) for about 60 mins (reduce cooking time for smaller quantities), stirring/turning occasionally ? by this time they should be almost falling apart. Substitute drumsticks for wings and increase quantity of marinade if you are extra hungry!
It was asked in this thread that I share the recipe I have for BBQ spice rubs.
In actual fact, they are just copied from some recipe I found on the web, but do work well as a nice healthy (low salt) way to jazz up meats for grilling on the BBQ, camp oven, or open fire- or even oven baking or pan frying at home. By all means experiment with the flavours, or do some surfing to find out how the flavours are traditionally used (eg jerk spice is commonly used with chicken).

Recipes make 1 serve, suitable for a 2kg size joint of meat. I've scaled them up to cup measures to make good gift sizes for family and friends. I used mainly the plastic packs of spices from woolies, but could easily use large catering bags from your local restaurant supplier if needed.
