Bread In Jars: Pumpkin Spice

Recipe By : Anita A. Matejka
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:20
Categories : Holiday/Gift Ideas

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
—-Supplies Needed—-
8 jars Ball (#14400-81400) — (12 oz)
8 new lids – don’t use old ones
8 rings okay to use old ones
—-Batter—-
1 c raisins
2 c unbleached flour
2 tsps baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsps cloves
2 tsps cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
4 egg whites — whipped
2 c granulated sugar
1 c margarine — softened
2 c pumpkin

Preheat oven at 325. Place a baking sheet onto middle rack and remove top rack
f
rom oven. Before starting batter, wash jars, lids, and rings in hot soapy
water
and let drain, dry, and cool to room temperature. Generously prepare inside
of
jars with margarine. To prepare batter, combine raisins, flour, baking soda,
b
aking powder, salt, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger in a mixing bowl. In another
m
ixing bowl, combine egg whites, sugar, margarine, and pumpkin. Divide batter
am
ong 8 jars (should be slightly less than half full). Carefully wipe rims clean,
then place jars on baking sheet (or they’ll tip over) in the center of oven.
Ba
ke 40 minutes. Keep lids in hot water until they’re used. When cakes are
done,
remove jars which are HOT from oven one at a time. If rims need cleaning, use
moistened paper towel. Carefully put lids and rings in place, then screw tops
o
n tightly shut. Place jars on a wire rack; they will seal as they cool.

Once jars are cool, decorate with round pieces of cloth. Unscrew the ring (the
lid should be sealed by now) and place a few cotton balls on top of the lid
(mak
es it poofy on top), then a piece of cloth (about 3″ larger than the lid) on
top
and screw the ring back on. Decorate as desired (example pinking shears).

Title: MOCK LOBSTER
Categories: Main dish, Jewish, Seafood
Yield: 10 servings

2 lb Haddock; fillet
Tomato juice; or V8/to cover
1/2 c Chili sauce
1/2 c Horseradish; prepared
1/4 c Sour cream

1. Poach fish in tomato juice to cover with spices of
your choice or in V8. Simmer until fish flakes.

2. Mix the other ingredients together to make the
sauce and adjust for YOUR taste. Add the sauce to the
fish, making sure it is not too thick. It should look
like lobster salad and you can use diced celery and/or
onion.

NOTE: In the 50’s whenever you went to a luncheon at
the Temple it seems that this was the dish of choice.
I guess we were trying to prove we could have
‘lobster’ and be kosher too, !!!! Anyway it is
quite good. If you have a favorite lobster or shrimp
salad; you could just substitute the fish. Back in
those days it was cheaper…now who knows???

Gazpacho

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soup Vegetable

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
3 pounds tomato
1 each bell pepper
1 each cucumber
1 medium onion
8 cloves garlic
4 ounces stale bread
1 1/2 ounces olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons vinegar
salt and pepper — to taste
Tabasco sauce — to taste

For any preperation method place the bread in water to soak until needed. Chop
the vegetables into medium size pieces.

TRADITIONAL
Get a big mortar and pestle and grind all vegetables until they are a
thick liquid. Then squeeze the water out of the bread and beat it and oil
into a thick paste and the other ingredients and mix it all up. This should
take about 2-3 hours.

MORE MODERN
For a more modern method get a spanish style grinder. This resembles
a bowl with a grater in the bottom and a handle that you turn round and around
to force the food against grater. This will make a liquid out of the
vegetables much quicker than the mortar and pestle and with much less work
(20-30 minutes). You may have some stuff left in the grinder that just
doesn’t want to grind up this is normal and should be thrown out. You can
make the grinding easier by running the vegetables through a food processor or
blender first then putting through the grinder (food processors don’t usually
cut the vegi’s small enough by themself).

Squeeze the water out of the bread and place in a blender or food
processor. While mixing the bread slowly drizzle in the oil. Add the other
spices and mix well. Then mix this into the liquid vegetables.

MOST MODERN
Use an electric juicer to turn the vegetables into a liquid in a
matter of moments (5-10 minutes including the chopping up). Mix together the
liquid and the pulp out of the juicer, don’t throw anything away. If you like
the Gazpacho smoother run the pulp from the juicer through a spanish style
grinder.
Squeeze the water out of the bread and place in a blender or food
processor. While mixing the bread slowly drizzle in the oil. Add the other
spices and mix well. Then mix this into the liquid vegetables. Notes:
I have been told that this is actually Mahota not Gazpacho. The
difference is Gazpacho has water added to thin it to a more soupy consistancy.
You can also use more or less bread to achieve the desired thickness. However
much more bread than this will start to make the soup taste like bread.
Adjust the mix of vegetables and spices to you own taste. We like a
spicy garlicy gazpacho.
