Dawn (11:33:57 am) : BOYSENBERRY, CRANBERRY AND PINK
GRAPEFRUIT PRESERVES

Present this delightful tart-sweet spread in a glass jar that has been
encircled with a ribbon. For a nice touch, tie a spoon into the bow. If you
want to omit the canning process, go ahead. The preserves can be stored in
the refrigerator up to one month.

2 pink or ruby red grapefruit, halved
1 1/2 cups sugar
6 cups frozen unsweetened boysenberries (about 1 1/2 pounds), unthawed
1 12-ounce bag fresh or frozen cranberries

Canning jars

Squeeze juice from grapefruit. Measure 1 cup juice, discarding seeds; place
juice in heavy large saucepan. Add sugar to juice. Mix in 4 cups
boysenberries and all cranberries. Spoon 2 cups boysenberries into medium
bowl; let thaw at room temperature. Let berry mixture stand until berries
thaw and sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.

Bring mixture to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium. Boil gently
until
mixture thickens and liquid drops thickly off end of spoon, stirring often,
about 25 minutes. Mix in 2 cups thawed boysenberries with any juices; bring
to boil. Spoon preserves into hot canning jar, filling only to 1/4 inch from
top. Immediately wipe rim, using towel dipped into hot water. Place lid on
jar; seal tightly. Repeat with
remaining jars and preserves.

Place jars on rack in large pot. Add boiling water to pot so that at least 1
inch of water covers tops of jars. Cover pot; boil rapidly 15 minutes.
Remove jars. Cool completely. Press center of each lid. If lid stays down,
jar is sealed. (If lid pops up, store preserves in refrigerator.) Store in
cool dry place up to 1 year. Chill after opening.

Makes about 4 generous cups

Betsy at TKL (12:57:33 am) :
Shortbread Crust

1 1/2 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1/4 to 1/2 c. granulated sugar (to taste)
1 lg. egg, separated and yolk, lightly beaten
1/2 c. butter, softened

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Working on large flat surface, place the flour
and sugar in the center and mix together. Form a small depression or well in
the center of the mound. Add the beaten egg yolk and softened butter to the
well, then blend these with the dry mixture. Mix the ingredients thoroughly,
using your hands - there's no substitute for warm hands! Press the dough
into the pan with your fingers; while the crust won't be uniformly smooth,
that is not particularly noticeable in the finished product. Prick the crust
several times with a fork to keep the crust from puffing up during baking.
Place the springform in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until
light brown. Allow to cool.

2 Chickens - cooked and diced
1 6 oz pkg Stove Top herb -- flavor
1 can Crm of mushroom soup
1/4 cup Margarine (melted)

"That's the official recipe but here's what I do. Since I'm so lazy I just
buy the boneless skinned chicken breasts and poach them in the microwave. I
don't use margarine, I use butter. It calls for 2 cups of broth but I just
use one 14 1/2 oz can - works fine. And I don't put mine in a 13x9 pan - do
you have any corning ware stuff? It fits real nice in their oval casserole ~
2 quart I think." (Notes above by Chris)

For the Pierogi dough, I use one that I learned from watching my
Babci (grandmother) when I was a toddler. (Yes, we started learning
to cook at an early age! So did my kids!)

**********************************************************************
BASIC PIEROGI DOUGH
**********************************************************************

1 egg
3 1/4 c flour
salt
1/2 c. water

Mix the egg with the flour, add a dash of salt and as much water as
needed to knead out a smooth, loose dough (Amount of water will vary
depending upon humidity, temperature, etc.)
Roll out as thinly as you can. (I use a hand cranked pasta roller...
Atlas...and take it to setting 2 or 3) Cut into 2 1/2-3" squares.
Put a little filling on each square. Fold to form a triangle. Pinch
the edges together.
Cook in a large kettle of boiling salted water on high heat until
done. Hints: don't let stick to bottom of pot, pierogi will rise to
the surface just before done, it will probably take about 5 minutes.
Serve warm. May re-heat in frying pan in a bit of butter.

Here's a pierogi dough recipe for whoever was asking about pierogi. I got it
from the Frugal Gourmet's "Immigrant Ancestors" cookbook, and everyone in my
very Polish family agrees that these are great. We like them stuffed with
either sauerkraut or farmer's cheese, and served with
sauted onions and mushrooms.

Pierogi (Polish Dumplings)

2 C. sour cream
41/2 C. all-puropose flour
2 Tbl. melted butter
2 eggs plus one egg yolk
2 Tsp. salt
2 Tbl. veg. oil

In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients and knead into a soft, pliable
dough. Cut in half and let rest, covered, for 10 minutes. Roll out each half
into a thin circle. Using a drinking glass, cut the dough into round circles
and fill them with desired filling. Place less than a tablespoon of filling
in the center of each circle and fold over. Press and seal into a half moon.
You may want to rub a bit of water on the edges in order to get a good seal.
Cook for 10 minutes in boiling salted water. Drain, then pan fry in butter
until golden brown on both sides.

This recipe was published last year in the Ottawa Sun around
Christmas after I entered it in a contest. It didn't win, only
one prize per catagory was given, but it was one of only 3 stuffing
recipes published.

Wild Rice Stuffing

6-8 slices white bread
1/2 cup walnut pieces
2 peeled, cored and chopped Granny Smith Apples
2 peeled, chopped oranges
2 chopped onions
2 teaspoons summer savory
1 cup wild rice, rinsed and soaked overnight
apple juice as required

Tear bread into crouton size pieces, let air dry for a couple of
hours. In a large bowl, mix will with hands. Just before stuffing
the bird, add enough apple juice to make it moist enough to be able to
just hold balls of stuffing together. Form into slightly packed balls
and fill both ends of birds until slightly firm.

I take leftover stuffing and put in in a pie plate with the
neck, cover in foil and bake it for about 2 hours. My Mom is a
"neck-nibbler", this is her treat.

12 Mini-pretzels, cut in half

Combine sugar, cream, and vanilla. Mix well and set
aside. Cut graham crackers diagonally in half using a
gentle sawing motion with a serrated knife (cutting in
a firm motion will break the crackers). Spread a small
amount of frosting over the top side of a cracker
half. Top with remaining cracker half, placing cut
sides opposite each other so two narrow ends meet to
form reindeer nose.

Spread a small amount of frosting to cover the top
cracker. Gently press chocolate chips on reindeer for
eyes and cinnamon candy for nose. Add pretzel halves
for antlers. Repeat procedure for remaining
ingredients. Let dry on a wire rack. Makes 12.

"puffy pastel things"; *
-find at Chinese restaurants

*NOTE: "puffy pastel things are to look like the cat
ate styrofoam packing pellets-i haven't tried this

to make: microwave the honey till it bubbles(about 1
minute). add the butter,(i've been told using lard
makes for a more realistic texture and softer cookie)
and the molasses, if any. add the egg, mix well, then
mix in all the other stuff. add mix-ins of your choice
to some or all of the batter.

chill 1 hour in the freezer or several hours in the
fridge. roll dough logs of random length and the
diameter of cat poops. roll logs in grape- nuts and
bake at 350 degrees till done(maybe 10 to 15 minutes
but with my flaky oven you never know).

serve in a disposable cat litter box on a bed of
grapenuts, with a cat litter scoop. i hear you get
lovely effects by decorating the box and scoop with
melted chocolate or pudding. i imagine brown sugar
might work as a substitute for the new clumping
litters, but i havent tried it. this recipe worked
especially well at the halloween party where the table
was already decorated with plastic flies.
