Title: Making Jam Without Added Pectin
Categories: Jams, Canning
Yield: 1 recipe

Wash and rinse all fruits thoroughly before cooking. Do not soak. For
best flavor, use fully ripe fruit. Remove stems, skins, and pits from
fruit; cut into pieces and crush. For berries, remove stems and blossoms
and crush. Seedy berries may be put through a sieve or food mill.
Measure crushed fruit into large saucepan using the ingredient
quantities specified in Table 1.

Table 1. Ingredient Quantities.

Fruit: Apricots.
Cups Crushed Fruit: 4 to 4-1/2.
Cups Sugar: 4.
Tbs. Lemon Juice: 2.
Yield (Half-pints): 5 to 6.

Fruit: Berries.
Cups Crushed Fruit: 4.
Cups Sugar: 4.
Tbs. Lemon Juice: 0.
Yield (Half-pints): 3 to 4.

Fruit: Peaches.
Cups Crushed Fruit: 5-1/2 to 6.
Cups Sugar: 4 to 5.
Tbs. Lemon Juice: 2.
Yield (Half-pints): 6 to 7.

Add sugar and bring to a boil while stirring rapidly and constantly.
Continue to boil until mixture thickens. Use one of the following tests
to determine when jams and jellies are ready to fill. Remember to allow
for thickening during cooling.

Temperature test: Use a jelly or candy thermometer and boil until
mixture reaches the temperature for your altitude. For more information
see “Making Jelly Without Added Pectin”.

Sea Level: 220 degrees F.
1,000 ft: 218 degrees F.
2,000 ft: 216 degrees F.
3,000 ft: 214 degrees F.
4,000 ft: 212 degrees F.
5,000 ft: 211 degrees F.
6,000 ft: 209 degrees F.
7,000 ft: 207 degrees F.
8,000 ft: 205 degrees F.

Refrigerator test: Remove the jam mixture from the heat. Pour a small
amount of boiling jam on a cold plate and put it in the freezing
compartment of a refrigerator for a few minutes. If the mixture gels, it
is ready to fill.

Remove from heat and skim off foam quickly. Fill sterile jars with jam.
For more information see “Jars and Lids”. Use a measuring cup or ladle
the jam through a wide-mouthed funnel, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
Adjust lids and process.

CREAM OF BROCCOLI AND PEA SOUP (MF)

Recipe By : COOKING MONDAY TO FRIDAY SHOW #MF6763

Categories : Soup

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 pound broccoli florets (stalks peeled) — finely chopped
1 onion (8 ounces) — finely chopped
1 quart water or chicken broth
1 cup frozen petite peas — thawed
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups half and half
–or evaporated low fat or skimmed milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Simmer the broccoli and half the onion in the water or stock for 15
minutes or until tender. Add the peas and simmer 5 minutes longer just to
cook through. (As you are simmering, be sure to keep the level of the
water constant so that it does not evaporate too much.) When the
vegetables are tender, puree the mixture through a food mill or blender.
(If you puree it with a food processor or a blender, pass the puree
through a sieve to remove any tough bits.)
In a clean saucepan heat the butter. Add the remaining onion and cook for
5 minutes, over low heat or until very tender but not brown. Add the flour
and cook for a few seconds. Whisk in the strained puree, bring to a boil
and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring on occasion to make sure the flour
does not stick to the bottom of the saucepan. Gradually add the half and
half or evaporated milk and adjust it to the texture you like. Bring the
liquid to just to under a boil; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Ladle out and garnish with chives if you wish.

Tapado (Seafood Soup)

Recipe By : Cook’s Magazine September/October 1988
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :1:30
Categories : Central American Guatemalan
Main Course Soup

1 small onion
1 medium red bell pepper
2 pounds red snapper fillets, sea bass, or tilefish
1 pound medium shrimp
1 tablespoon corn oil

1/4 teaspoon achiote (annatto) (optional)

NOTES : Coconut milk gives a Southeast Asian accent to this Guatemalan
specialty.

The Caribbean coast of Guatemala has a wealth of fresh fish and coconuts.
This dish, which frequently contains a wide variety of seafood, including
squid, crab, shrimp, red snapper, sea bass, or mako shark, is an expression
of this natural bounty. Achiote, also known as annatto, is a red-orange
vegetable dye used to color dishes throughout Latin America.

TORTELLONI DI ZUCCA

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Pasta Italian
Masterchefs New york

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
—–PASTA—–
3 c Flour, all purpose
3 lg Eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 ts Oil, olive
2 tb Water (about)
—–FILLING—–
1 md Squash, acorn (about
— 1 3/4 pounds)
1 c Escarole, leaves
1 1/2 tb Butter
1/3 c Cheese, Parmesan, grated
1 tb Parsley, chopped
1/4 c Ham, chopped
1/4 c Cheese, ricotta
1 lg Egg
Pepper, black, ground
1 pn Nutmeg, grated
Salt (to taste)
—–TOMATO-CREAM SAUCE—–
1/4 c Butter, unsalted
1 c Cream, whipping
1/3 c Cheese, pecorino
1/4 c Sauce, tomato
Cheese, Parmesan, grated

For Pasta:
ÿÿÿ
In a mixer with a dough hook, or a processor, combine the flour,
eggs and oil, adding water as needed to form a soft ball. Transfer to
a lightly floured work surface and knead for about 5 minutes. Cover
with a damp cloth and set aside for 30 minutes.

For Filling:
ÿÿÿÿ

Halve the squash and remove all of its seeds and strings. Cut
the squash up into large wedges and cook, covered, in boiling salted
water until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain completely and cool
briefly. Scoop out the flesh. (You should have about 2 cups.)

Place the escarole in a saucepan with about 1 cup of water;
cover. Steam the escarole, tossing once or twice, just until wilted,
3 to 5 minutes. Drain in a colander, rinse with cold water, squeeze
dry and chop coarsely. Set aside.

Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over
medium-high heat. Add squash and cook, stirring, until dry, about 5
minutes, breaking up the flesh coarsely as it cooks. Add Parmesan
cheese and parsley, lower heat to medium and stir for 3 minutes.

Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and stir in the escarole,
ham, ricotta and egg. Season with black pepper, nutmeg and a little
salt, if desired. Set aside.

To Assemble:
ÿÿÿÿ

Cut the dough into 3 pieces. Roll each piece with a heavy
rolling pin on a lightly floured board (or use a pasta machine) until
it’s 1/8-inch thick. (You should be able to see your fingers through
the dough.)

Use a 4-inch cutter to cut out rounds of dough; place them on a
lightly floured baking sheet. Place about 1 1/2 teaspoons squash
filling on lower half of each round, leaving a border. Fold top half
of each round over filling and press edges together to seal. Warp
edges of each half-circle around your index finger, bringing ends
together to overlap by about 1/4 inch. Pinch edges to seal.

For Sauce:
ÿÿÿ
Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a heavy saucepan. Add cream and a
generous amount of white pepper, whisking over medium-high heat. Stir
in the pecorino cheese (in a pinch, you could probably get away with
Parmesan, but it won’t taste the same) and tomato sauce. Boil gently
3 to 4 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook tortelloni in a large pot of boiling salted water
until they float to the surface, then boil 1 minute longer; drain.
Place the tortelloni in heated serving bowls, nap with sauce and serve
immediately, with additional Parmesan and white pepper.
