Title: STAINED GLASS CANDY
Categories: Candies
Yield: 1 servings

3 3/4 c White sugar
1 1/2 c Lily white syrup (or Karo,
-must be colorless)
1 c Water
-food coloring
-oil based flavorings (I
-use Wilton’s)
-tin foil
10 c -icing sugar (can be used
-over and over)
-sharp pair of scissors
-candy thermometer

Mix the white sugar, white syrup, and water in a
medium sized pot. Add the food coloring you want
(green for spearmint, orange for orange) Bring to a
boil, and boil until candy thermometer reaches 300F
degrees. (Can take up to 20 minutes) Stir to mix all
the ingredients, but once it starts to boil, do not
touch. Pot must be big enough to allow for double, as
it rises as it boils

While the candy mixture is boiling, shape a large
piece of tin foil by folding up the sides and ends.
(I use the large foil about 3 feet long) to create a
large cookie sheet type shape. Put the icing sugar on
the foil to completely cover it, and bank up the sides
with icing sugar.

When the candy mixture has reached 300F, remove from
heat. Let sit about 10 seconds and stir to cool
slightly (heavy emphasis on SLIGHTLY) Then add about 1
to 1-1/2 tsp of the oil based flavorings depending on
how strong you want the flavor. Stir until mixed (may
boil a bit and DON’T stand over top of pot as flavor
with escape in the air and up your nose!! 8-} ) Once
flavoring is combined, pour mixture onto the icing
sugar and use rubber spatula to scrape all mixture out
of pot. Put pot,spatula and candy thermometer into
sinkful of hot soapy water. If you allow it to harden
you won’t be saying nice things about me at all!! 8-}
As candy is cooling, keep checking by trying to pull
up the edges. Once it gets to the consistency that you
can lift it a little, start cutting it FAST! I cut off
a chunk and then cut it up into bite-sized pieces. The
outside will cool first so you have to watch it. If
it hardens to quickly you will end up with a good size
lollipop that you won’t be able to cut. It will
shatter like glass. Continue working your way around
until all is cut. Then I take all the candy and put it
in a strainer that is sitting over a bowl. Shake some
of the excess icing sugar off candy and allow to cool
thoroughly. Pack in airtight containers. I find
Zip-Loc Freezer bags pretty good. This recipe makes
about 2 lbs candy. Once I have done all the flavors
that I want, then I set up all the bags and put about
10 of each flavor into a smaller zip-loc and seal.
They make great Christmas gifts for family and all the
various people you give to….mailman, garbage man,
paperboy, school teachers, your kids friends..etc. I
figure if the kids have to help me cut, they get some
to give to their friends.. Besides.. makes a good
bribe to get them to help!!

Potato Soup with Worst and Garden Herbs

Recipe By : AllerHande
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:35
Categories : Starters* Soups and stews*
Quick dishes*

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
500 grams potatoes
1/2 liter water
1 beef bouillon tablet — (or less) *
1 deciliter sparkling white wine
freshly ground pepper — to taste
50 grams gekookte worst **
4 takjes parsley, finely chopped — about 1/4 cup
4 takjes selderij***, finely chopped — about 1/4 cup

* A Dutch bouillon tablet is good for 1/2 liter (about 2 cups) water;
an American cube is good for 1 cup water.

** “Gekookte worst” is a worst, 2-3″ in diameter. When we get a
craving for a bologna sandwich, this is what we use. It doesn’t
really look like bologna – it’s smaller around and a bit coarser
in texture, but the taste is similar. I think you could substitute
some good-quality bologna.

*** Can’t think of the English word for “selderij”. It looks like
flat parsley; tastes a bit of celery. Just use more parsley if you
can’t find anything similar.

Peel, wash, then dice the potatoes.
Put the pots in a pan with the water, bouillon tablet, and wine.
Bring to a boil; put a lid on, turn down the heat, and simmer for 20 min,
till the pots are done.
Let cool for a bit.
Puree the pots and cooking liquid; return to pan.
[This is a good point to put it in the frig, if you’re making ahead.]
[I thought it was a bit gelatinous, as potato soups are wont to be, at this
point, so I added another cup of water (that I whizzed in the blender to
clean it out.]

Remove the skin from the worst.
Cut the worst into “matchsticks” up to 2″ long.
Finely chop the parsley and selderij.

Warm the soup broth.
Stir in the worst and herbs and heat till warmed through.

Serves 2 as main course, or 4-6 as starter.

ROBB’S SPECIAL CHERRY PIE

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Pies Desserts
Fruits

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
—–PASTRY—–
2 2/3 c Pastry flour
1 t Salt
1 1/4 c Vegetable shortening
Ice water – 8 to 12 tbs
—–FILLING—–
2 (1 lb.) cans pitted tart red
– cherries (water pack)
1/3 c Liquid from cherries
3 tb Quick-cooking tapioca
1/4 ts Salt
1/4 ts Almond extract
1 t Lemon juice
1/2 ts Red food coloring
1 1/4 c Sugar
1/8 ts Ground cinnamon
1/8 ts Ground cloves
2 tb Butter or margarine

(DIRECTIONS FOR PASTRY)
Combine flour and salt in large mixing bowl. Cut shortening into
flour mixture, using pastry blender, until mixture resembles coarse
crumbs with a few pea-size pieces. Sprinkle 4 tablespoons ice water
over mixture and toss mixture with two forks. Sprinkle another 4
tablespoons ice water over mixture and toss mixture again. If
mixture can be pressed together to form a solid mass do not add
additional water. If mixture is still crumbly, add additional ice
water 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing mixture with forks, until a
mass can be formed. Divide mixture and form 2 balls of dough, one
slightly larger than the other. Press the larger ball of dough into
a disk and roll between sheets of waxed paper until 1/8-inch thick.
Line deep 9-inch pyrex pie plate with pastry and trim edges to
3/4-inch beyond edge of plate. Set aside. Press remaining ball of
dough into a disk and roll between sheets of waxed paper until
1/8-inch thick. Set aside.
(DIRECTIONS FOR FILLING)
Drain cherries. Measure 1/3 cup liquid into mixing bowl. Discard
remaining liquid. Add tapioca, salt, almond extract, lemon juice and
food coloring, then cherries. Combine 1 cup sugar, cinnamon and
cloves. Pour sugar mixture over cherries. Mix and let stand at least
15 minutes. Fill pastry with cherry mixture. Dot with butter.
Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Moisten rim with water. Fit top
pastry over filling. Turn top edge over bottom edge and press firmly
together, creating fluted edge. Cut vents in top to allow steam to
escape and juices to bubble. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes.
Reduce temperature to 375 degrees and continue baking for 35-45
minutes, or until filling is bubbling and crust is golden brown. If
edge of crust appears to be browning too quickly, cover lightly with
aluminum foil. Cool pie thoroughly on wire rack.
Note: The spice flavor is quite subtle, but very effective when
combined with the lemon juice and almond extract. Try these
modest amounts first (I prefer them), or increase them to suit
