Cheesecakes

——– ———— ——————————–
1 1/2 cup Graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup Finely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup (1 stick) butter — melted
1 can (16 oz.) whole cranberry
sauce
3 package (8 oz. each) cream cheese
softened
3/4 cup Granulated sugar

3 Eggs
8 ounce Dairy sour cream
2 teaspoon Vanilla extract

cranberry sauce; set aside.

Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees. In the large bowl of an electric
mixer beat cream cheese, sugar and flour until smooth. Beat in eggs, sour
cream and vanilla until well blended; spread evenly over cranberry sauce. Bake
until a knife inserted 1-1/2-inches from the edge comes out clean, about 1
hour; turn off oven; leave cheesecake in oven with door ajar until top is firm

refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours. Just before serving, remove cheesecake
from pan to a serving plate. Garnish with sugared cranberries, kiwi slices and
mint leaves, if desired.

NOTE: To make sugared cranberries: In a small bowl place a small amount of
white corn syrup. Add fresh cranberries, a few at a time, turning to coat;
then place in a bowl of granulated sugar. Using a fork, remove cranberries

Barr’s French Onion Soup

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 16 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups Stews

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
5 pounds unpeeled onions
1/2 cup butter — (1 stick)
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons paprika
1 bay leaf
7 cans beef broth — (about 16-ounce)
divided (recommended Swanson’s)
1 cup dry white wine — optional
3/4 cup all-purpose or instant flour (such as
Wondra)
Caramel coloring or Kitchen Bouquet — optional
2 tsps salt
french baguettes, optional
Swiss or Gruyere cheese, optional

Peel onions and slice 1/8 inch thick, preferably in a food processor. Melt
butter in a 6-quart (or larger) stockpot. Add onions; cook, uncovered,
over low heat for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. (The long cooking
time makes the onions mellow and sweet.) Stir in pepper, paprika and bay
leaf; saute over low heat 10 minutes more, stirring frequently. Pour in 6
cans broth and wine. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Dissolve flour in
remaining 1 can broth. Stir into boiling soup. Reduce heat and simmer
slowly for 2 hours. Adjust color to a rich brown with caramel coloring,
season with salt. Refrigerate overnight. To serve, heat soup in microwave
or on stove top. If desired, pour into ovenproof crocks or bowls. Top
with a slice of breat and a sprinkling of grated cheese. Heat under the
broiler until cheese melts and bubbles, about 5 minutes.
Leftover soup can be frozen. Yield: 4 quarts.
