Mum's Raspberry Bomb

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:54:16 -0500

Raspberries and cream with meringue all frozen together to make mushy fruity creamy heaven! I never can get it just like she does, but its still good none the same. The brandy works well in this and acts more like a flavouring as opposed to a tipple. Simply wonderous, by far the best way to serve raspberries. Thanks Mum! -- posted by robd16

Cranberry Cheesecake Bites

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:31:29 -0500

This is borrowed and adapted from a chocolate cheesecake recipe on the Food Network. Nice and rich, easy to make. For the cranberries, get some whole berry sauce, and stain off the syrup, or (better) simmer fresh berries in a light sugar syrup. I have since used an acid reduced cranberry called Berry Bits, from Alpine Foods. These are really great as they are like cooked cranberries, without all the sugar, so you an eat them straight or add them to anything as you would say blueberries. I wish they were easier to find, I know of one place, Brennan's in Madison WI. -- posted by jagret

Raspberry Cakes With Lavender

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 14:46:14 -0500

These are extremely tasteful and delicate cakes which are perfect for tea-parties or girls birthdays. I invented them for my birthday, so I would know. The lavender syrup is easy to make. Mix one tablespoon of, preferably fresh, lavender flowers with 5-6 tablespoons of sugar and a little water. Cook over a low heat until it transforms to syrup. Stray the syrup and leave it to cool down. You can store it in a cup in the fridge for couple of months. If you do not have time to prepare the raspberry sauce you can use jam instead. I hope you will enjoy these little cakes. -- posted by Meme*

Simple "fancy" Cranberry Sauce

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 02:10:40 -0500

Cranberry sauce recipes range from the very simple (cranberries, water, and sugar) to the relatively complex. This is my personal compromise. It's only slightly more complicated to make than the most basic recipe, but it has enough extra in it to make it a bit more interesting. -- posted by Cookin' Cop

The Best Blueberry Pie

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:54:41 -0500

From America's Test Kitchen: "This recipe was developed using fresh blueberries, but unthawed frozen blueberries (our favorite brands are Wymans and Cascadian Farm) will work as well. If using frozen berries, in steps 16 & 17, cook half the frozen berries over medium-high heat, without mashing, until reduced to 1 1/4 cups, 12 to 15 minutes. Grind the tapioca to a powder in a spice grinder or mini food processor. If using pearl tapioca, reduce the amount to 5 teaspoons. Vodka is essential to the texture of the crust and imparts no flavor; do not substitute." Cook time includes chill times. -- posted by Pismo

Festive Sugar Plums - Old Fashioned Sweetmeats

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:37:27 -0500

I love the Nutcracker Ballet and the music that accompanies it, especially the dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies! These fabulous little festive sweetmeats are based on a recipe that I adapted from Delia Smith's latest and BRILLIANT cookbook, "Happy Christmas". I have made these TWICE already - as a pre-Christmas dummy run, and they are SO easy as well as being extremely delicious! Sugar plums are mentioned in all forms of literature; most famously in The Night Before ChristmasThe children were nestled, all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads". However, they are a VERY old kind of sweet/candy, and I have traced some recipes right back to the Middle Ages in one guise or another, usually with minced meat hence sweet meat. This recipe can be made as a boozy after dinner adult treat, or with orange juice so the children can dream of them dancing in their heads! NB: These are great fun to make with the children, as they are easy as well as being "no-cook". If you plan to make them for gifts or to sell, pack them into attractive cellophane bags, glass jars or boxes and add a pretty ribbon as well as a label of ingredients and storage details. This recipe is part of my Old Fashioned Sweet Shop collection of recipes, sweets, candies, fudges, sugar plums and chocolates! -- posted by French Tart

Jewel Studded Holiday Fudge With Ginger and Cranberries

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:42:20 -0500

A delectable holiday fudge, which is the ultimate treat for anyone with a sweet tooth. This buttery, crumbly fudge is enhanced and made more festive by studding it with rich, jewel-like fruit. If you do not have stem ginger handy, you can use crystallised ginger or glace ginger instead. Making fudge the proper way involves using a sugar, jam or candy thermometer - or you can use the "soft ball" method if you do not have a suitable thermometer. Drop a small spoonful of the fudge into cold water, if it forms a malleable soft ball, the setting temperature has been reached. If you plan to make this fudge for gifts or to sell, pack the squares into attractive cellophane bags, glass jars or boxes and add a pretty ribbon as well as a label of ingredients. This recipe is part of my Old Fashioned Sweet Shop collection of recipes, sweets, candies, fudges, sugar plums and chocolates! -- posted by French Tart

Grandma Phyllis' Holiday Cranberry Salad

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 00:31:37 -0500

My grandma made this cranberry dish for every holiday dinner and it's one of my fondest memories. It has just enough sweet to balance out the tartness of the cranberries. It's a great dish if you're looking for a new way to include cranberries in your Thanksgiving meal. (She sometimes put in walnuts or pecans for a little extra crunch.) Cooking time is for the jello to set up in the refrigerator. -- posted by DragonIady

Eier Kringel (Raspberry-Filled Cookies)

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:12:39 -0500

These heart-shaped German cookies are so delicate and delicious. I got this recipe over 25 years ago and have been making them for holiday gifts every since. They also are a lovely treat on Valentine's Day. I usually make them with the liqueur, which makes them extra-special. The cookie dough does need to be refrigerated for several hours, which is not included in the preparation time, so plan accordingly. Because these cookies are quite fragile and no one wants a broken heart, package them in metal cookie tins lined with large paper doilies. Decorate the tops of the tins with familiar small candy hearts inscribed with romantic messages for a unique Valentine's Day gift. -- posted by JackieOhNo!

Cranberry-Clementine Sandwich Cookies

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:42:46 -0500

The curd & dough need chilling in the fridge - which is great for me as I like breaking the task up (dough day then baking day) so it stays fun.

This recipe is from Cooking Light. Delicious and fancy enough for the holidays. This recipe uses Riesling, but for a nonalcoholic version, substitute sparkling white grape juice. Make up to a day ahead and refrigerate. Dip the covered mold into a bowl of warm water for 5 seconds to make the salad easier to unmold. I like to use canned Mandarin oranges. -- posted by Jjampm

Chunky Nut and Dried Fruitcake

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 12:16:43 -0500

No candied fruits! I made a similar fruitcake last year and was anxious to make it again as it was delicious. It has just enough batter to hold all the luscious ingredients together. I searched everywhere and finally found this which is really close. I use a silicone tube pan. I've fallen in love with the silicone bakeware. Recipes never stick! This came originally from the Better Homes and Gardens Annual Recipes, 2008. I substituted butter for the shortening to avoid trans fats, and walnuts for Brazil nuts for taste. Last year I bought the bags of dried blueberries and cherries separately...a little pricey. But this year I found a mixed bag of dried berries at Costco. It had just enough and a little more of each. -- posted by Gigi #23

Famous Fresh Blueberry Pie

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 02:47:59 -0500

I live in Florida and it is difficult to make a non-runny blueberry pie due to the humidity, but this recipe is perfect. I got this recipe through trial and error of 5 different published recipes. The filling is dense enough so that little loose liquid is present, but you still feel like you are biting into whole berries when you eat it. This fixed my problem of getting a pool of liquid in the bottom of my pie shell. I recommend using only fresh blueberries. Use a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Regarding the crust, the store-bought frozen crusts did not work properly for me. They either didn't bake on the bottom or resulted in an overflow of pie liquid into the bottom of my oven. I recommend the Pillsbury brand rolled pie crust dough found in the refrigerator section of the grocery store (by the biscuits/crescent rolls). These bake nicely, are easy to work with, and have an appropriate amount of moisture. Of greatest inspiration for the filling was from http://www.pickyourown.org/blueberrypie.php -- posted by MerryD

Mint Pasties

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 09:33:14 -0500

This is an unusual and tasty Yorkshire dessert hand-copied from a book called "Mastering Herbalism." I have fresh spearmint in my garden, but currants can't be found locally. I substituted a nice, chunky blackcurrant jam, and reduced the cup of sugar by half. -- posted by Cecily Parsley

A Mere Trifle! Strawberries and Clotted Cream Trifle

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:20:30 -0500

Luscious fresh strawberries nestle amongst light sponge cake sandwiched with strawberry jam, which are then covered with creamy custard and topped with clotted cream. Simple! This trifle may be simple but it is the star on any tea-time or dessert table and if you cannot obtain clotted cream, use whipping cream, heavy cream or double cream instead. Madeira is used in place of sherry in this trifle, which gives a mellow flavour to the trifle. This is a recipe that my mum sent to me, from a cutting in a British magazine promoting Devon and Cornwall in the West Country - home of the Cream Tea! If you wish to serve this to children or non-drinkers, substitute the Madeira with fruit juice of your choice. In the summer scatter some pink rose petals over the top for the ultimate and romantic finish! (Prep time includes the chilling and soaking time.) -- posted by French Tart

Individual Berry Crisps

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:39:57 -0500

This is an Alton Brown recipe that is sooo simple to make. It was definetly a crowd pleaser at our house, everyone gobbled these down after dinner ^.^. I used Special K pecan cinnamon cereal in my topping(it's what I had on hand), but next time around I think I'll try the gingersnaps! The serving says 4 but I had tons of extra topping so I ended up with 5 small ramekins of the berry mixture, and one larger one with an apple filling for the hubbs. -- posted by Chef #488454

Fruit Pizza

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:20:16 -0500

Very appealing to the eye and even better; easy to make and fun to eat. A great way to celebrate fruit so have fun and mix and match. You can even have fun with the "crust," try using sugar cookie or even choc chip cookie dough instead of the pizza pie crust. No matter how you personalized this recipe it's sure to put a smile on everyones face! -- posted by Chef #1544785
