Title: Chocolatey Peanut Brittle
Categories: Candies, Entertain, Chocolate, Christmas
Yield: 6 servings

1/4 c Cocoa
1 ts Baking Soda
1 tb Butter
1 c Sugar
1/2 c Light Corn Syrup
1/4 c Whipping (Heavy) Cream
1 1/4 c Salted Peanuts

Yield: About 1 Pound Of Candy

Adding chocolate to peanut brittle makes the brittle taste different from
any you’ve ever had before.

Lightly butter a cookie sheet and set aside. In a small bowl, stir
together the cocoa and baking soda then add the butter. Set aside. In a
heavy 2 quart saucepan, stir together the sugar, corn syrup, and whipping
cream. Cook, over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is
dissolved. Stir in the peanuts. Continue cooking, stirring frequently,
until the mixture reaches 300 Degrees F. or when syrup dropped into very
cold water separates into threads which are hard and brittle. (Make sure
that the bulb of the candy thermometer is not resting on the bottom of the
pan when using one.) Remove from the heat and stir in the cocoa mixture.
Immediately pour onto the prepared cookie sheet. With tongs or wooden
spoons, quickly spread and pull into a 1/4-inch thickness. Place the
cookie sheet on a wire rack to cool completely. When the candy is cold,
break into pieces and store.

Vegetarian Lasagne

Recipe By : Calvin Sambrook STC Telecomunications Ltd, New Southgate, Lo
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Vegetables

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 medium onion, chopped
250 g carrots, grated
500 g spinach
150 g sweetcorn, drained ( 1/2 tin)
100 g mushrooms — coarsely chopped
250 g lasagne noodles ( 1/2 packet)
2 garlic cloves
100 g cheese — grated
600 ml milk
50 g cornflour (cornstarch)
50 g butter

1. Gently fry the carrots and garlic in some butter, set aside.

2. Gently fry the onions and mushrooms in some butter, set aside.

3. Wash the spinach and cook gently in a saucepan without adding any water.=
Stir frequently. This really does work and it stops it from going slimy.=
Add the corn to this and set aside.

4. Now make the white sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan, take it off the
heat, add the cornflour. Mix this well. Slowly add the milk, stirring all
the time. It is important not to stop stirring, even for a moment. Return
it to the heat and keep stirring until it thickens.

5. Now build your lasagne. Take a large square ovenproof dish at least 5 cm
deep (we use one about 20×30 cm for the quantities given) and assemble in
layers starting with a layer of lasagne, then a layer of sauce, then one of
the previously-prepared vegetable pairs. Repeat the lasagne, sauce,=
vegetable pair combination twice more. At this point you should, if all has
gone well, run out of vegetables. Finish off with lasagne and then sauce.

6. Top with the cheese and sprinkle on a little paprika if you want.

7. Bake for about 35 mins at 180 =F8C .

8. The servings should stay whole as you serve them.

Author’s Notes:
This vegetarian dish can be served on its own or with a side salad. My
thanks to Erica and Milica who gave me this recipe and who tried different
vegetable combinations until the corn stopped falling out of the sides.=
Experiment for yourself – substitute different vegetables according to the
season and your preference.

Difficulty : easy, but remember to stir the sauce.
Precision : no need to measure.

Title: ( From Bread Mix ) Big Soft Pretzels
Categories: Breadmaker, Mixes, Kids!, Breads, Snacks
Yield: 1 servings

-JOY QUIRK (HFTC65A)
1 tb Dry yeast
5 c Bread mix; up to six
1 1/2 c -lukewarm water
2 Eggs; beaten

MMMMM————————–TOPPING——————————-
1 Egg; beaten
2 tb Coarse salt
1/2 c Butter; melted

Lightly grease 2 large baking sheets. In a large bowl, dissolve
yeast in lukewarm water. Blend in 2 eggs and butter. Add 5 cups
bread mix. Stir well. Add additional bread mix to make a soft, but
not too sticky dough. Knead about 5 minutes until dough is smooth.
Roll pieces of dough into ropes about 1/2 inch in diameter and 18 to
24 inches long. Form into pretzel shapes. For pretzel sticks, cut
dough into 5 to 6 inch lengths. Place on prepared baking sheets.
Preheat oven to 425.

Brush tops of pretzels with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse salt.
Bake immediately 12 to 15 minutes, until brown and crisp. Makes 12 to
15 large pretzels.

Variation For a chewier pretzel, drop pretzel-shaped dough into a pan
of boiling water. When dough floats to the top of the water, remove
it. Preheat oven to 400. Brush with egg and sprinkle with coarse
salt. Bake about 30 minutes.

All of these recipes I have posted using my bread mix can be adjusted
to use with the bread machine, some using the dough setting. I have
had excellent results. Will try to post more over the weekend as I
get time. Also have a lot of other “mix” recipes if anyone is
interested.
