Poach the chicken: Place whole chicken in stock pot and cover with
cold water. Add the seasonings and vegetables and bring to a boil.
Lower to a simmer and cook 30 minutes. Strain and reserve broth for
some other use. Remove the skin and discard. Remove meat in slices.
Set aside.

Broil chicken livers on a rack under high heat, turning when light
brown. Rinse under cold running water and pat dry.

Pour can of chicken broth in a saucepan with 1/4 cup cold water and
bring to a boil. Remove from heat and mix in the gelatin. Cool to room
temperature (should remain liquid).

Chop enough romaine lettuce to make 2 cups. Reserve rest for
presentation.

Poach vegetables: In a small saucepan, bring cold salted water to a
boil. Poach the celery 3 minutes; remove celery and poach carrot 2
minutes; remove carrot and poach squash 10 seconds. Refresh
vegetables under cold running water and set aside. Assembly: Dividing
ingredients equally among 4 serving dishes (4-5″ in diameter, 1
1/2-2″ deep), layer the ingredients as follows: First layer is a
mixture of vegetables and lettuce, covering bottom of dish. Place one
apple slice and some parsley on top, and one chicken liver in center
of each dish. Next layer is slices of chicken, followed by layer of
vegetables, parsley, and lastly chicken. Pour gelatin over

hours (or as long as 2 days), before serving so gelatin can set.

Title: Gingerbread Teddy Bears
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 16 servings

1 c Butter (or margarine)
2/3 c Brown sugar
2/3 c Corn syrup and/or molasses
4 c Flour
1 1/2 ts Cinnamon
1 ts Ginger
1/2 ts Ground cloves
3/4 ts Baking soda
1 Egg; lightly beaten
1 1/2 ts Vanilla extract

In a saucepan combine butter, brown sugar and corn syrup. Cook and stir
over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Pour into large mixing bowl; cool
5 minutes. Sift together flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and baking soda.
Add egg and vanilla to butter mixture; mix well. Add flour mixture; beat
til well mixed. Divide dough in half, cover and chill 2 hours or
overnight.

For each bear, shape dough into one 1-inch ball, one 3/4-inch ball, six
1/2-inch balls and one 1/4-inch ball. On ungreased cookie sheet flatten
the 1-inch ball to 1/2″ thickness for body. Attach the 3/4-inch ball for
head and flatten to 1/2″ thickness. Attach the 1/2-inch balls for arms,
legs and ears. Attach the 1/4-inch ball for nose. Bake at 350 degrees for
8 to 10 minutes, cool and decorate.

I usually make these smaller than described here; about 1/2 the size.
Also, the ears start to look like MOUSE ears if they’re not a little
smaller than the arms and legs. Roll the nose ball to make it more oval in
shape and place it on the LOWER half of the bear’s face. These can be
decorated with any icing– I use tinted Royal icing made from meringue
powder to add eyes, nose and bow tie to each bear.

For Easter, make these into bunnies. Use only light corn syrup, no
molasses. Substitute white sugar for the brown sugar. Omit spices and add
a bit of almond extract if desired. Make them the same way, but make two
long ears on the top and two cheek-balls instead of the nose-ball.
Decorate with pastel icings.
