Hi Nancylanders,
A friend of mine on Facebook just posted that her mom had made her favorite pie - Chocolate Angel Pie with a meringue crust with chocolate mousse filling. I remember tasting the pie, but never got her recipe. Does anyone have that recipe? It was delicious and the meringue piecrust should have less calories that a regular pie crust.
Thanks in advance, Donna/Buffalo 

Tips and Hints from
Dennis at the Prepared Pantry

My soup was too salty the other day. It was such a shame to throw it out. Is there any way that I could have saved it?

If you put some cut potato pieces in the soup. They will absorb salt from the liquid. In a few hours, your soup will be less salty. Throw the potato pieces away.

If you add a little vinegar or lemon juice, it won’t reduce the salt but the acid will make it less noticeable.

My brown sugar gets hard and dry. Do I need to throw it out?

Not at all. Here’s my magic trick for the day. Place a slice of bread in the container. The syrup in brown sugar is hygroscopic, that is, it attracts moisture. So your brown sugar will draw the moisture from the bread. In a day or two, the bread will be dry and your brown sugar will be moist and soft. Amazing.

All the talk about slow cookers got me to thinking about the time I got my first Rival Slow Cooker. I had a job at the time and it was just my son and I at home.. I prepared my dinner before leaving for work thinking I "had it made". Nothing to do when I got home but sit down to dinner. My son usually got home before me so when I walked in the door he asked, "what's for dinner?". When I told him it was already cooked, his reply was, "you have to turn it on for it to cook", which I had forgotten to do. What to do? He took me out to dinner that night. That was a good many years ago. We had a good laugh about that.

Hi Nancy - This is for Lynda in S. Texas. I made the Grannys Bread in my bread maker last night for supper. It was awesome. It is just as moist today as it was yesterday. It is my new go to recipe for bread when I run out of Prepared Pantry bread machine mixes. Thank you so much sharing.

Microwave on high for 1 minute, and you have your own little cake.

Dry mix can be stored in the cabinet.

Try different flavors of cake mix but just remember that one of the mixes has to be
Angel Food because that has the egg whites in it.

Also I have been reading about the Broken Glass Salad and it made me think of a recipe I have had for a long time called Broken Glass Cake. I have used this many times and it is such a light cake and so good.

1 sm. pkg. orange Jell-O, dissolved in 1 cup hot water
1 sm. pkg. lime Jell-O, dissolved in 1 cup hot water
1 cup pineapple juice
3/4 cup sugar
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup butter or margarine, plus 1 Tbs., melted
1 pint whipping cream

Mix each flavor Jell-O in separate bowl and refrigerate overnight. On second day mix juice and 1/2 cup sugar in sauce pan and scald. Mix gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water to soften then add to juice mixture. Set aside to cool. Whip cream until thick and stiff peaks form.

Cut Jell-O into small pieces and fold into whipped cream. Slowly fold in juice mixture USING WOODEN SPOON NOT MIXER.

Mix crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar and butter. Save 1/2 cup of crumb mixture for top. Line bottom and sides of 9 x 13 inch dish with crumb mixture. Press firmly. Pour cream mixture over crumbs. Sprinkle remaining crumbs on top. Refrigerate several hours. Cut into squares.

Slow Cooker Pork Chops
I happened to be in Wal mart and checked out the slow cookers. Rival 2 qt (high, low, warm) settings for 10.00 dollars. I bought one and took it home. It is my new favorite piece of equipment.

I had one of the little seasoned 1-2 lb boneless pork roast in the freezer. (I had just been reading) that to cook pork chops in your slow cooker, Sere them on a skillet. until brown, and then put in your crock pot frozen, and they will not dry out. I left my roast frozen and skipped the skillet part. Sliced 1 medium onion in thick slices, put slices in the bottom of the slow cooker. Set the frozen pork roast on top Made a marinade with

1 cup hot water
2 tbsp Splenda (or can use sugar)
3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp sugar free ketchup
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
dash hot pepper sauce as you prefer
Mix together
Pour over your meat, Cook for 4-5 hours on high or 8-10 hrs on low
I checked internal temp with a meat thermometer for 140 degrees since that is the new done stage for pork.

When done save aujus in a sealed container for later use.l

When done I sliced some thin for sandwiches, Some I sliced thin and then in strips along with a cup of frozen broccoli/cauliflower stir fry veggies. I mixed together pork roast veggies and a good splash of the pork aujus, Microwaved for 4-5 minutes. A very good fake stir fry.

Since I use 4 Liter of oxygen this is my way around an open flame

Good morning Nancy and all Landers, I have a request for all our wonderful cooks/bakers in Nancyland. I love to make homemade pizza but have never found a homemade pizza crust I really liked. If anyone would have a recipe they would like to share I would appreciate it. Either bread machine or regular is okay.
Dianne in Wisconsin

Nancy I want to thank you for your giving us access to those wonderful recipes. It will take some time to get through them, but rest assured, I will enjoy every minute of looking through them. Again, thank you for this and for all that you do for all of us.

This is for Kathy, who requested Kringle recipes. I am not at all familiar with the bakery that you listed in your request, so don't know if this recipe is even close to what they make at the bakery. I know some Kringle recipes use a yeast dough and some have a fruit filling, such as prunes or cherries. I know the bakery won't give you their recipe, but they would probably tell you if the dough contains yeast and may tell you the other ingredients. I wouldn't substitute margarine or shortening for the butter in this recipe. If you are looking for a fruit filled Kringle, resubmit your request and let us know a few more details. Good Luck.

Swedish Kringle
Kringle is another pastry said to have originated in Vienna before it was "adopted" by Danish bakers. Makes 1 large cake.

1/2 Cup Butter
1 Cup Flour
1 Tablespoon Water - may need slightly more
1 Cup Water
1/2 Cup Butter
1 Cup Flour
3 Eggs
1 Teaspoon Almond Extract
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
1 Tablespoon Softened Butter
1 Tablespoon Heavy Cream
1 Teaspoon Almond Extract
Almonds - if desired

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

To make the dough cut 1/2 cup butter into 1 cup flour using a knife or pastry blender. Add water as needed and mix until crumbly, leaving pea sized chunks. On a floured surface roll the dough out to 3 or 4 inches in width. Place on a rectangular cookie sheet.

In a small saucepan over high heat, bring 1 cup water and 1/2 cup butter to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in flour; mix until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in 1 teaspoon almond extract. Spread over dough.

Bake in preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes. The pastry will fall a little as it cools.

Meanwhile, combine confectioners' sugar, cream, 1 tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Spread over pastry as soon as it's removed from the oven. May top with almonds, if desired.

Thanks for the chili recipe, Dennis! The soup is a new addition to the recipe for me.
Athena in DE=

There was a recent inquiry about how to make evaporated milk instead of buying the canned milk. Evaporated milk is milk that has been cooked down to allow much of the water content to evaporate. The concentrate is canned, and the result is a heavier tasting milk with a slightly toasted or caramelized flavor. If you don’t have any, Make your own: to produce 1 cup of evaporated milk, simmer 2 1/4 cups of whole (regular) milk down until it becomes 1 cup. Do not allow milk to boil; stir regularly to avoid scorching.

In many recipes, evaporated milk may also be replaced with a combination of whole milk and half-and-half. For 1 cup of evaporated milk, use 3/4 cup whole milk and 1/4 cup half-and-half.

Good Morning. Would like to thank everyone who responded to my request about the heat diffuser. I ordered two from e-bay. It was easy now that I had a name. Thank you,

Evaporated Milk

When reconstituting dry milk for drinking mix according to package directions adding 1/4 to 1/2 tsp sugar or vanilla to each quart milk, Let cure overnight before using. It no longer has that "funny taste.”

All you NancyLanders, I need a good lemon merguerine pie recipe.
Thank you Erma in Sullivan, MO

Barb wrote about how she modified the Libby's pumpkin pie recipe to put into custard cups. She used half sugar and half sugar substitute. I have been altering this recipe for some time now and use Splenda granular for the entire sugar amount. You can not tell it is sugar free. I am diabetic, so use Splenda wherever I can to make sugar free desserts.

This is for the ones requesting Pennsylvania Dutch recipes. My great grandparents on my father's side all emigrated from Germany. They settled in Kansas, not Pennsylvania, but the recipes handed down to me look similar to ones I've seen in Pennsylvania Dutch cookbooks.

This one is hand written on a scrap of paper by my grandmother, Hazel. I will type it exactly as written.

Grandma Wetzel's Potato Soup

2 medium potatoes, diced
1/2 tsp salt
enough water to cover potatoes good
1 c sour cream

Cook until potatoes are done. Add one cup sour cream. Bring to a boil. Add egg rivels, stirring continuously. Boil gently 10 minutes stirring every few minutes.

Egg Rivels
Work with fingers 2 unbeaten eggs into one cup flour and 1/4 tsp salt. Work until mixture looks like coarse bread crumbs.
Cheri in AZ (but my heart's still in KS)

And here's another recipe I used to make with my grandmother, Hazel. Again I will type the recipe exactly as it was given to me so please forgive any misspellings or poor grammar. In the recipe, crisco is a brand of shortening and Karo syrup is a brand of corn syrup. The directions omit when to add the syrup. It should be added with the sugar. My grandmother also included a note from her cousin Marie with the recipe.

Pfefferneresse (German for Pepper Nuts)

2 c sugar
3/4 c margarine
3/4 cup crisco
2 cups dark Karo syrup
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup sour cream
8 cup flour to which have been added:
1/2 tablespoon soda
1/2 tablespoon ginger
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cloves
1 cups ground pecans
1 teaspoon anise oil

Cream together sugar, margarine, crisco. Add buttermilk and sour cream alternately with flour mixture and nuts. Roll in pencil size strips and cut into small pieces with scissors. Bake 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Store in well covered containers.

Marie added this note: she usually covered the dough after mixing and put in deep freeze for a day or two. Then rolled in pencil size strips and if she is not ready to bake them yet, she places them on a large baking sheet on wax paper and covering each layer with another sheet of wax paper. If the dough is frozen, you will find it is easier to handle. The original German recipe called for 1 tsp. of pepper which is why they are called Pepper Nuts. She likes them better without the pepper.

My grandmother passed away in 1989 so these are great memories for me now.
Nancy, thank you so much for all you do. I don't write in very often, but I look forward to reading your newsletter every day.
