GUIDE TO ADAPTING YOUR OWN RECIPES (CONT.)
HERBS AND SPICES
Leaf or whole herbs and spices are preferred, but their flavor power may
increase — use half the recommended amount. If you use ground herbs
and spices, add during last hour of cooking.
MILK
Milk, cream and sour cream tend to break down during extended cooking.
When possible add during last hour of cooking. Condensed soups may be
substituted for milk, etc., and can cook for extended times.
SOUPS
Some soup recipes call for 2 to 3 quarts of water. Add other soup
ingredients to slow cooker; then add water only to cover. If thinner soup is
desired, add more liquid at serving time. If milk-based recipes have no
other liquid for initial cooking, add 1or 2 cups water. Then during last hour
of cooking, stir in milk or cream as called for.
