Yield: 6 servings

1.00 c All-purpose flour 0.50 c Icing sugar
0.50 c Butter or margarine 0.50 c Butter or margarine
0.25 c Corn syrup (dark is best) 1.00 ts Unflavored gelatin
0.67 c Sweetened condensed milk

First Layer: Measure first 3 ingredients into bowl. Crumble together well.

Second Layer: Melt the scond amount of butter and corn syrup in heavy
saucepan. Measure sugar in cup. Stir in gelatin to mix thoroughly. Add to
saucepan stirring to dissolve. Add condensed milk. Stir, bringing to a
boil. Boil 4 minutes stirring constantly. It burns very easily when
boiling. Remove from heat. Beat with spoon until it thickens and gets

Pour over first layer. Chill overnight. Invert on plastic wrap. This makes
it much easier to cur through to the bottom. Cut into 25 squares.

Wild Rice and Sweet Potatoes
—————————-

1 cup of cooked Wild Rice
1 cup of cooked Basmati Rice

I cook them together in the rice cooker with equal amounts
of water.

1-2 uncooked sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch pieces.
1-2 T fresh chopped parsley
Salt to taste. (I put quite a bit for this dish.)

Fill into plastic lunch box. Mix for cooking. Nuke for 10 minutes
on high.

Note: This can also be made using a pre-cooked sweet potato. Then
the nuke time is reduced to 3 minutes for reheating.

Variation: I think this would be good with a couple of table spoons
of orange juice for extra flavoring added before cooking.

Mix cheese, pumpkin, 1/2 tsp salt and the nutmeg; reserve.

Mix flour and 1/2 tsp salt in large bowl; make well in centre. Beat
tomato paste, oil and eggs until well blended; pour into well. Stir
with fork, gradually bringing flour mixture into centre, until dough

sticky, until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Cover, let rest 5
minutes.

Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Roll dough, one part at a time, into
rectangle, about 12 x 10 inches (keep remaining dough covered). Drop
pumpkin mixture by 2 level teaspoonfuls onto half of the rectangle
about 1 1/2 inches apart in 2 rows of 4 mounds each. Moisten edges
of dough and dough between rows of pumpkin mixture with water. Fold
other half of dough up over pumpkin mixture, pressing dough down and
around mixture. Trim edges with pastry wheel or knife. Cut between
rows of filling to make ravioli; press edges with fork to seal.
Repeat with remaining dough and pumpkin mixture. Place ravioli on
towel; let stand, turning once, until dry, about 30 minutes.

Prepare Pumpkin Seed Sauce. Heat until hot; keep warm. Cook ravioli
in 4 quarts boiling salted water (2 tsp salt) until tender, 10 to 15
