Title: EASTER NESTS
Categories: Candies
Yield: 1 servings

1 lb Coconut;shredded
1 lb White chocolate;OR
1 lb Green coating
1 lb Small Jelly Beans

Melt your coating mix. If you have white chocolate just add a drop or two
of green coloring (do not use the liquid kind) so that it is a light green.
I Melt mine in a stainless steel bowl in a pan of water, I use my old large
electric fry pan if I am melting a lot of different colors. You can also
melt them in wide mouth jars, and keep what you don’t use. In bowl of
melted coating mis in the coconut. Spoon out on was paper, put a
indentation in middle to look like a nest, and add the small jelly beans. I
also put in the freezer for a few minutes to set real good. Enjoy Joni in

MANDARIN SOUP

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
4 Straw mushrooms, dried
1/4 lb Pork, lean
1/2 c Bamboo shoots
Bean curd, fresh
-(2 pieces)
4 c Chicken stock
1 t Salt
1 tb Dark soy sauce
2 tb Cornstarch, mixed with
1/4 c Water
1 Egg
1 Scallion, chopped
1 tb Sesame oil

Soak mushrooms in warm water for 20 minutes. Drain,
reserving liquid. Cut pork, bamboo shoots, mushrooms,
bean curd into thin strips.

Combine stock and reserved mushroom liquid in a
saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add salt, soy sauce, pork,
bamboo shoots, mushrooms. Cover and simmer 5 minutes.
Add bean curd and again bring to a boil. Add small
amount of hot liquid to cornstarch paste, stirring.
Add mixture to pan and cook for 1 or 2 more minutes.

Beat egg lightly and slowly add it to hot soup. Stir
once, gently. Remove soup from heat. Sprinkle with
chopped scallion and sesame oil. Serve immediately.

NOTES:

* Bamboo shoot, pork and mushroom soup — I worked
out this recipe in an attempt to duplicate the
Mandarin Soup served at the Peking Royal Kitchen in
Pittsburgh. My friends all agree that it is a good
replica; some prefer my version to the “real thing.”
Yield: Serves 4-6.

* The quality of the chicken stock makes a huge
difference in a recipe like this. Use fresh stock if
you can, or buy the best grade of canned chicken stock
you can find.

: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 20 minutes waiting and 20 minutes preparing.
: Precision: Measure spices and seasonings.
