Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method

2 pounds limes
2 lemons
8 cups water — (approximately)
6 cups sugar — (approximately)

Choose fruit that has not been waxed. Place fruit in a large kettle
and add water just to cover. Bring to a boil and simmer until fruit can be
pierced with a fork. Remove fruit, reserving water in which it was boiled.
Cool fruit, cut lengthwise into quarters, remove seeds, and slice as thinly
as possible.
Return fruit, along with any accumulated juices, to water and measure
into large kettle. For every one cup of liquid, add 3/4 cup sugar. Bring to
a boil and boil quickly until mixture reaches jelly stage (220 degrees F on
candy thermometer).
Pour into sterilized 1/2 pint or 1 pint jars, seal and process
according to jar manufacturer’s instructions.

NOTES : Makes 4 pints, or about 64 two-tablespoon servings.

1/2 cup lentils (uncooked)
1 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup chopped celery leaves
1 Tbls. chili powder
1/2 tsp dried basil
2 cups tomato juice
2 med. taters (don’t peel)
1/4 cup chopped celery
3 cloves garlic
1 cup chopped onions
1/2 tsp dried oregano
3/4 cup water
Throw it all in a pot and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer
unti; vegies are tender, about 45 minutes.

NOTE: I turn the heat up even more with a little Tabasco. I didn’t have
tomato juice once so I threw 2 cups canned tomatoes in my vita-mix and
pureed. You might want to add a little salt if you do that.

Title: FROZEN ORANGE TRUFFLE SOUFFLES
Categories: Desserts
Yield: 6 servings

1 Unflavored gelatin envelope
1/2 c Orange juice, fresh
5 Eggs; separated, room temp.
1/2 c Superfine sugar
1 t Grated orange zest
3 tb Orange liqueur (see note)
1 c Heavy cream; chilled
6 Chocolate Truffles
Strips of orange zest (opt.)
Whipped cream (for garnish)

Note: Grand Marnier or Orange Curacao are suggested orange liqueurs.
Wrap parchement paper or aluminum foil collars around six 2/3-cup souffle
dishes and fasten with tape or string.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the orange juice and set aside
until softened. Place the bowl in a pan of hot water and stir
occasionally until the gelatin dissolves, about 3 minutes. Set aside in
the hot water.
In a double boiler, beat the egg yolks and sugar over barely simmering
water until the mixture is light-colored, creamy and warm to the touch,
about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and continue to beat until the
mixture cools, thickens and forms a ribbon when the beater is lifted,
about 3 minutes. Stir in the orange zest and liqueur. Scrape into a
large bowl and set aside.
Beat the cream until it is doubled in volume and forms soft peaks.
Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks.
Stir the gelatin mixture into the beaten egg yolks. Place the bowl in a
larger bowl half-filled with ice and water and stir with a rubber spatula
until the mixture begins to thicken and mound, 2 to 4 minutes, depending
on the type of bowl used (metal chills faster than glass or ceramic).
Immediately remove from the ice water and fold in the whipped cream.
About one-third at a time, fold in the egg whites until no streaks of
white remain; do not overmix.
Spoon 1/2 cup of the mousse mixture into each souffle dish and place a
truffle in the center. Divide the remaining mousse amoung the dishes to
bury the truffles. Smooth the tops, cover loosely with waxed paper and
place on a tray in the refrigerator until set and chilled, about 2 1/2
hours. Before serving, remove the paper collars. Decorate the tops with
whipped cream and strips of orange zest, if desired. Serve chilled.

CATHE’S CLAM CHOWDER

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

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
6 sl Bacon (or more)
1 lg Onion, chopped
24 oz Clam juice, bottle
-(Doxee brand)
1/2 ts Garlic, dried, minced
1 lg Potato, baking
10 oz Baby clams, canned
-(Orleans brand)
3 tb Cornstarch
1/4 c Half half (or more)
-(or cream )
1 t Garlic salt (Lowry’s)
1/4 ts Black pepper

Fry bacon in 3-quart pan until brown. Reserve 2 T.
bacon grease in pan; remove bacon to paper towel to
drain well. Crumble bacon and save it for later.
(Can cook bacon in microwave and transfer 2 T grease
to 3-quart pan.)

Saute chopped onion in bacon grease until translucent.
Shake one of the three bottles of clam juice well; add
to the sauteed onion. Stir in dried minced garlic and
let come to a boil. Boil until the liquid is reduced
by half, but don’t let the liquid get so low that the
sauteed onion and minced garlic brown.

Shake the other two bottles of clam juice well and add
to the mixture in the pan. Bring to boil.

Scrub the baking potato well (or peel it, if you want
to); cut it into half-inch cubes. Add to the boiling
clam juice and reduce heat (to low) — so the mixture
bubbles gently — until the potatoes are almost done.

Meanwhile, drain the baby clams, reserving the juice
in a cup. Put the clams aside. Stir the cornstarch
into the reserved clam juice, blending well.

When the potatoes are just barely done, remove the pan
from the heat. Re-mix the cornstarch and clam juice
and add to the soup, stirring constantly as you pour
the cornstarch mixture into the pan. Return pan to
heat and stir constantly until thickened. (This may
seem too thick.) Remove from heat and stir in the baby
clams and the crumbled bacon. Add half and half or
cream until soup is the consistency you want it. (If
you don’t want it so creamy, use milk or skim milk
instead.)

Add garlic salt and black pepper to taste; serve warm.
Do not let the soup boil once the baby clams are
added; boiling will turn them into rubber. This makes
about a quart of soup, enough to serve 4 with no
leftovers.

Vicki’s notes:

* The recipe that Cathe gave me in the 70s called for
only two bottles of clam juice (instead of three), 1/2
C half half (instead of 1/4 C), 2 T cornstarch
(instead of 3 T), 2 teaspoons minced garlic (instead
of 1/2 t), 1/4 t garlic salt (instead of 1 t), and no
black pepper or bacon (just 2 T drippings for frying).

It also called for 1/4 t each lemon pepper and sweet
basil, 2 t dried parsley, 3 drops Tabasco sauce and
1/4 C sauterne, none of which are called for in this
recipe. The only things the same are the potato, the
onion and the 10 oz. can for baby clams (Geisha). (The
recipe said you could substitute a 7 oz can of minced
clams if you had to.)
