3/4 c Sugar
1/2 c Red currant jelly
3 c Fresh or frozen cranberries
-(a 12-ounce package),
-thawed, if frozen
1 Firm,ripe pear,pared,cored
-and chopped,about 1 cup
1/2 c Butter
1 1/4 c All-purpose flour
1/4 c Sugar
2/3 c Finely chopped walnuts
-(or finely ground)
1/2 t Ground cinnamon
2 Egg yolks
1/2 t Cream of tartar
4 Egg whites
1/2 c Sugar

From “The Family Circle Christmas Treasury.”

Combine the water, 3/4 cup sugar and the jelly in a medium-size
saucepan. Place over medium heat until the jelly melts and the sugar
dissolves. Bring to boiling. Add the cranberries and the pear. Cook,
uncovered, over medium heat until the cranberries pop and the mixture
thickens slightly, for 10-15 minutes. Cool completely.

Preheat oven to 375’F. Cut the butter into the flour in a medium-size
bowl with a pastry blender, until crumbly. Mix the 1/4 cup sugar,
walnuts and cinnamon. Add the egg yolks. Mix lightly with a fork just
until the pastry holds together and cleans the side of the bowl.
Press the dough over the botton and up the sides of a 9″ tart pan
with a removeable bottom. Prick the bottom with a fork. Refrigerate
for 30 minutes.

Bake the shell in a preheated oven 12-15 minutes, or until golden
brown. Cool completely. Spoon the cooled cranberry filling into the
cooled pastry shell. Reset the oven to 400’F.

Beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar in a medium-size bowl
until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the 1/2 cup sugar until
stiff, but not dry, peaks form. Spread half the meringue over top of
the tart. Pipe the remaining meringue in a lattice pattern.

Bake in the 400’F. oven for 3-6 minutes, or until the meringue is
golden brown. Decorate with additional cranberries, if desired. Makes
8 servings.

Peanut Butter Meringue Cream Pie

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Pies

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
9 inch pie shell — baked
2 1/2 cups milk — scalded
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour, all-purpose
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
2 egg yolks — beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup peanut butter
MERINGUE:
3 large egg whites — room temp
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
6 tablespoons superfine sugar

Prepare the prebaked pie shell; cool completely. In the top of a
double boiler set over simmering water, combine 1/2 cup of the hot milk
with the sugar and flour. Add 1 1/2 cups of hot milk to the mixture in
the double boiler and cook, stirring frequently, for 20 minutes or
until thickened. Stir a small amount of the hot custard into the egg
yolks. Combine the egg yolk mixture with the mixture in the double
boiler. Cook for 2 minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the
vanilla. Beat the peanut butter with the remaining milk. Add the peanut
butter mixture to the hot custard. Turn the filling into the pie shell.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. While the filling is still hot,
prepare the meringue. Beat the egg whites, vanilla, and cream of tartar
until the mixture holds stiff peaks. Gradually add the sugar, 1
tablespoon at a time, beating until very stiff and glossy. All the
sugar must be dissolved. Spread the meringue over the hot filling,
sealing it to the edge of the crust. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until

And now, a recipe…Oatmeal Raisin Cookies…really good and chewy, but
will break your teeth if they are cold! I usually eat them, with a piece of
fruit on the way home from work (45 minute highway drive), but in the winter
I put them on the defroster to warm until they are chewy enough.

3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup water
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 egg whites (or appropriate vegan substitute)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups rolled oats
2 cups oat bran
1 cup all purpose flour (I use 50:50 unbleached white:whole wheat)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all moist ingredients and sugars in a large
bowl and then gradually blend in the dry ingredients. Fold in raisins…dough
is fairly stiff, and gets more so as it sits. Drop by spoonfuls (I use a
soup spoon) onto a cookie sheet lightly sprayed with Baker’s Joy. Bake 15-17
minutes, or until the edges are browned. Store in an airtight container…I
don’t know how long they’ll keep…they’re always gone before they can go bad.
Even my 6 year old daughter loves them!

Title: CLOTTED CREAM
Categories: Dairy
Yield: 8 servings

20 fl Heavy whipping cream
2 qt Milk (or more)*

*Preferably extra-rich milk, if you can get it in your area. Choose a
wide-mouthed bowl or stainless steel bowl with sloping sides. Fill it
with milk, leaving a deep enough rim free to avoid spillage. Add 20
fl double cream. Leave in the refrigerator for at least several
hours, and preferably overnight. Set the bowl over a pan of water
kept at 82 degrees C (180 F) and leave until the top of the milk is
crusted with a nubbly yellowish-cream surface. This will take at
least 1 1/2 hours, but it is prudent to allow much longer. Take the
bowl from the pan and cool it rapidly in a bowl of ice water, then
store in the refrigerator until very cold. Take the crust off with a
skimmer, and put it into another bowl with a certain amount of the
creamy liquid underneath; it is surprising how much the clotted part
firms up — it needs the liquid. You can now put the milk back over
the heat for a second crust to form, and add that in its turn to the
first one. The milk left over makes the most delicious rice pudding,
or can be used in baking, especially of yeast buns.
