    then add a small amount of wine. Continue until
    carrots begin to soften then add each of the other
    ingredients in turn until all are in pot. Add small
    amounts of wine as necessary, but allow bottom to
    become somewhat dry without burning. Remember to keep
    STIRRING! Add the garlic last but allow to cook for
    only about 30 seconds. After all vegetables are in

    buy GROUND canned tomatoes, if not, no big loss. Wash
    out cans with a quantity of red wine and add to pot.

    hour. Pour over your spaghetties and mangia! Save some
    of the red wine to go with the spaghetties.

  • Title: Cakey Gingerbread Squares
    Categories: Cakes
    Yield: 12 servings

    1 x -Dottie Cross TMPJ72B 1 ts Ground cinnamon
    8 tb Unsalted butter; at room 1/2 ts Ground allspice
    1 x -temperature 1/2 ts Ground nutmeg
    1/2 c Sugar 1/2 ts Salt
    2 ea Large eggs 1/4 ts Ground cloves
    1 x Grated zest of 1 orange 1 c Unsulfured molasses
    2 1/2 c Sifted all-purpose flour 1 c Boiling water
    2 ts Baking soda 1 x Confectioners’ sugar;
    2 ts Ground ginger 1 x -for dusting

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9-inch square baking
    pan. Using a hand-held electric mixer set at high speed, beat the butter
    until creamy, about 1 minute. Add the sugar and beat until light in color
    and texture, about 2 additional minutes. Beat in the eggs and orange zest.
    Sift the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, salt, and
    cloves onto a piece of waxed paper. In a 2-cup glass measuring cup, combine
    the molasses and boiling water. Alternately in thirds, beat in the flour
    and molasses mixtures. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake until
    a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, and the
    cake is shrinking from the sides of the pan, 40 to 50 minutes. Let stand on
    a wire cake rack for 5 minutes. Place the confectioners’ sugar in a sieve
    and dust over the top of the cake. Serve the cake warm or completely
    cooled. Makes 12 to 16 servings. Source: “An Edible Christmas” (A Treasury
