What're Some Manufactured Foods Native To Utah?

[reinhard98]

I'm arranging for a check out to Salt Lake City, Utah and need to restore some foods(apart from salt water taffy) developed exclusively in Utah as presents. Any ideas?

Utah is identified as the "Beehive state", so honey is a massive deal in Utah. Scones are also large items in Utah.Here are some recipes for Utah Scones and Utah Honey Butter.Utah Scones1 quart warm buttermilk2 packages(two tablespoons) active dry yeast1/4 cup warm water2 tablespoons sugar2 eggs, beaten2 tablespoons vegetable oil1 1/two teaspoons salt3 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon baking soda10 to 11 cups flourHeat buttermilk pour into a big mixing bowl. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add to the buttermilk: sugar, eggs, oil, salt, baking powder, baking soda, dissolved yeast and 6 cups flour. Beat till smooth. Add remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough. Spot in a greased bowl turn. Cover and enable to rise until doubled in bulk punch down. Cover and spot in refrigerator overnight. Roll out 1/2-inch thick and cut into squares just prior to frying in hot, deep vegetable oil. Serves 15 to 18 recipe can be halved. Serve with Honey Butter, made by beating 1 cup softened butter with 1 cups honey for ten minutes, or till fluffy.

Utah is the "Beehive State." Bees signify unwaivering industry. Honey also happens to be one of the biggest commodities in the state. So I suggest you look for interesting bottled honey.According to Kraft, Utah residents eat more Jell-O per capita than the other 50 states. Lime is a particular favorite. This Jell-O was *immortalized* during the 2002 Winter Olympics, where pins depicting this dessert were sold. Apparently, Kraft underestimated the demand and they became collectors items. So possibly something Jello related? It is the state snack food after all.The state fruit is the cherry, so look for cherry jam, sour cherry preserves, dried cherries, etc."Both sweet and tart or pie cherries are grown in Utah; the average yearly cherry sales for the past 5 years was $5,564.600. Utah is the second largest tart cherry producing state in the nation and fifth in the nation in the production of sweet cherries. No other state ranks in the top five in both categories. About 2 billion cherries are harvested yearly and approx. 4,800 acres of agricultural land is used for cherry production. Cherries are grown in Utah, Box Elder, Weber, Davis, Salt Lake, and Washington counties. The cherries are sold as fresh fruit, to canneries to make pies, brined as maraschino cherries or dried." I don't know that Utah Scones can be transported and enjoyed as most fried foods need to be consumed immediately for best flavor. However, a Utah Scone kit might be a possibility, or you could consider local cookbooks such as:The Essential Mormon Cookbook: : Green Jell-O, Funeral Potaotes, and Other Secret Combinations, Julie Badger Jensen [Deseret Book:Salt Lake City UT] 2004 Utah is known for its "Fry Sauce" which you can now get bottled in grocery stores. It is a proprietary mixture of catsup, mayonnaise and other ingredients designed to be the perfect accompaniment to french fries. Brands to look for are Arctic Circle(they started it in 1949) which is a Utah-based fast food chain, or "Some Dudes Fry Sauce," found in grocery stores.The state vegetable is the Spanish Onion and the State Historic Food is the Sugar Beet, so keep an eye out for food products celebrating those.

Honey is their main food, though of course it's not unique to there Note this blurb:Today in Utah you can find all sorts of food from fine gourmet to hearty family meals, to ethnic fare to fast food/chain restaurants. If you need foods that have special connections to the history and culture of this state these links will get you started:Utah is the "Beehive State." Bees signify unwaivering industry. Honey also happens to be one of the biggest commodities in the state. About the "Beehive State". About Utah bees. State fruit: cherry. State vegetables: Spanish onion; state historic vegetable: sugar beet. Which foods are grown in Utah? But you might also consider bringing back some Fry Sauce:One of the many things visitors to Utah can get confused about(besides our lingo, our street grid system, and our liquor laws) is the delicacy know as Fry Sauce.It came into being in about 1949 when it's inventor--also the founder of Arctic Circle-- went into the fast food business, and while experimenting with hamburger sauces, came up with this treat that complimented fries perfectly. It has been a staple of Utah fast food ever since, and has recently started expanding out to other states and other countries. Seems that visitors to Utah get used to having it with their fries, and take the idea home with them.So, what is it? The original(Arctic Circle) version of it is, as expected, a carefully guarded secret recipe, which is actually patented.Some say it is like thousand island salad dressing, but real aficionados argue that the pure version is smooth and creamy and not chunky like the dressing. But many have tried to come up with a recipe for this orange-colored marvel that is served with french fries and/or onion rings, and there are many optional ingredients to try and make it your very own specialty.The basic recipe * 1 part ketchup * 2 parts mayonnaise * Mix together until thoroughly blended. Other options: * Substitute barbecue sauce for ketchup. * Use buttermilk or half & half to thin the sauce. * Pickle juice(either dill or sweet) for a little zing(rumor has it the official recipe includes pickle juice) * Chopped pickles minced very tiny, so the sauce is a little chunky(this makes the sauce look suspiciously like thousand island dressing) * Seasoning salt * Horseradish * Garlic * Whatever exotic spices you have on your shelf--go ahead, experiment There are several places around town where you can sample the various varieties: * Arctic Circle * Astro Burgers * Crown Burgers * Hires Big H * Sonic Drive-in You can also get bottles of yet another version in the grocery stores, marketed under the label of "Some Dude's Fry Sauce".Or, if you have to have the original version, contact Arctic Circle.http://saltlakecity.about.com/cs/regionalfood/a/frysauce.htm Sources: http://members.aol.com/foodtimeline/statefoods.html#utah EddieNygma 80 months ago Please sign in to give a compliment.
