  • Title: Jalapeno Pizza Crust for the breadmachine
    Categories: Breadmachin, Ornish, Low fat, Hot spicy
    Yield: 4 crusts

    1/2 c Lukewarm water
    1 T Just Shortening or
    Prune puree
    3 T Chopped jalapenos w/ juice
    1/4 t Salt
    2 c Bread flour
    1 t Active dry yeast

    Place ingredients in your bread machine in the order recommended
    by your machine’s manufacturer. Set to dough cycle.

    NOTE: Watch to dough and add more water slowly (up to 1/4 cup more)
    until the dough obtains the proper consistency. Check the dough again
    during the 2nd kneading — mine got a bit thin and I added some
    organic blue corn meal until the consistency was right.

    NOTE: Just Shortening can be purchased at your local health food
    store and consists of a combination of plum puree and prune puree and
    is a very thick consistency.

    TRIFLE

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

    Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
    ——– ———— ——————————–
    1 Sponge cake — leftover
    1 c Raspberry Jam
    1/4 c Almonds, slivered
    1/4 c Brandy:*
    3/4 c Sherry
    1 1/2 c Milk
    1 c Heavy cream — or whipping
    1 Vanilla pod
    1 t Cornstarch
    3 tb Sugar
    5 Eggs
    2 c Heavy cream — or whipping
    -whipped
    8 Citron slices — *
    6 Strawberries — -OR-
    6 Crystallized violets

    * Anne’s note; I would use 1 cup sherry and not bother
    with the brandy * Citron is larger than a lemon. The
    fruit is not eaten but the rind id used as a
    decoration. Can be found in speciality stores, omit if
    you can’t find it
    “Trifle, a favorite Victorian recipe, is the perfect
    party recipe. Make it well ahead of time of time, so
    that the sherry and brandy have enough time to seep
    into the cake. The charm of Trifle is its different
    textures. Since these also look interesting , Trifle
    should be served in a glass bowl so that the effect
    can be seen to full advantage. As an alternative serve
    it in individual glass dishes.”
    Cut the cake into very thick slices and spread each
    piece with a generous amount of raspberry jam. Arrange
    the slices on the bottom of a large glass bowl. If you
    prefer to use individual dishes, divide the cake
    equally among the dishes. Sprinkle the almonds over
    the cake slices, pour on the brandy and sherry and
    allow it it to soak for about 40 minutes (but not
    longer as the cake will becomes soggy. *Anne’s note, I
    like it soggy, and left the cake to soak overnight.)
    Bring the milk and cream with vanilla pod to a boil in
    a double boiler. Remove from heat and discard the
    vanilla pod.
    Mix the cornstarch with the sugar and eggs and
    gradually pour in the milk and cream. Transfer the
    mixture back to the double boiler and stir until the
    custard becomes thick and creamy; do not allow to boil.
    Let the custard cool a little and then pour it over
    the cake. Let the cake set and when it fully cooled,
    spread any remaining jam on top, then cover with
    whipped cream.
    Decorate the trifle with citron slices and
    crystallized violets or strawberry slices. Refrigerate
    until ready to serve. SERVES:6-8
