For Kara. Hope this is what you are looking for:

Cinnamon Applesauce Ornaments
1 cup cinnamon (needless to say, buy it in bulk or you'll be putting out a big chunk of change)
3/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup white glue

Mix ingredients, and flatten dough on floured surface. Use cookie cutters to cut out holiday shapes. Punch a small hole in the ornament if you want to hang it. Let dry for 48 hours.
AnneE from Pa.


This is for 'Sandy in Ohio' on Friday, 12/8 -- from Ruth B in Broadview Heights, Ohio: I've used crystallized ginger in cooked pears, similar to making applesauce. Just cut the ginger in very small pieces and add while the pears are cooking. It gives them a different and delicious flavor.

It also is good to nibble on if you have an upset stomach; similar to ginger ale.

The only place I buy crystallized ginger is in the Amish shops around Millersburg and Sugarcreek. Do you shop there too?? They, too, can possibly give you some ideas for using it.

Thanks, Nancy, for adding this to your great newsletter!
Ruth


Hi everyone!!
I am looking for a TNT recipe for Santa Lucia bread. I would like to add this little celebration to my family's Christmas traditions. I don't have a daughter to serve the bread, but I guess we can improvise and just eat it!!
Thanks all, Heidi


Hello, how do you ladies and men bakers keep your goodies till Christmas?. I freeze cakes and breads, and cookies. What about the candy and fudge?
thanks, Sybil NW FL


Nancy, love your Newsletters. Hope I live long enough to try all the recipes I have saved from them (^_^)

I've seen a lot of recipes in recent newsletters for Fruit Salad. This is one I made this week and it was very good. You can add or eliminate fruit, use what you like. Put it in my 1.5 quart slow cooker instead of the oven. My small slow cooker does not have a temperature choice but it was just right to eat after 2 hours. And the fruit was not mushy.

HOT FRUIT SALAD
1 lg can peaches, drained
1 16 oz. can pineapple chunks, drained
1 lg can pears with juice
1 can apricots, drained
15 maraschino cherries
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp. allspice
2 tbsp. butter

Place drained fruit and pear juice into a baking dish. Combine cornstarch, bra sugar and allspice.
Sprinkle over fruit. Let stand overnight. Dot with butter. Bake 325º for 30 minutes or until hot.

I would use a little less brown sugar next time. Also, I made just half of the above recipe and put it in my 1.5 quart slow cooker. Cooked for 2 hours.
Delicious.

Hi Nancy, This is for Mary Ann (Dec. 8 newsletter)

Irish Brown Soda Bread
2 C. Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 C. All Purpose Flour
3 Tbls. Quick Cooking Oats
1/2 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
1 1/4 C. low-fat buttermilk

Prehear oven to 425 degrees. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray. In large bowl, stir together flours, oats, soda and salt. Gently mix to distribute all ingredients. Add the buttermilk a little at a time and mix in gently until a soft dough is formed. Knead the dough very lightly. Divide the dough into equal mounds in the bowl. Clean and dry your hands and rub them with a little flour. Take 1/2 the dough and form into a ball, then flatten into a rounded flat loaf. Place on baking sheet. Repeat for the other 1/2 of the dough. Mark each loaf with an X on top. Bake in preheated oven about 30-37 minutes--until the loaves are a golden brown and have a hollow sound when thumped. Set aside to cool slightly before serving. Cut each loaf into 8 wedges.

Per serving: (2 wedges), approx. 153 calories; 1.1 g. fat; 30.8 g. carbs.; 1.9 g. sugars; 4/1 g. fiber; 6.4 g. protein.

Irish Soda Bread
3-3/4 C. Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbl real butter
2 eggs at room temperature
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
2 Tbl. sugar
12/3 C. buttermilk
1 Tbl. melted real butter
1 C. raisins
1 1/2 Tbl caraway seeds

Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together in a bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Beat the eggs in another bowl and stir in the buttermilk and baking soda and continue to beat everything until it has evenly combined. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and drop the egg/buttermilk mixture into it all at once and then add the raisins and caraway seeds. Mix ingredients together with a fork until everything has evenly mixed. Turn dough out onto a dry, floured surface and knead it gently for 20 seconds. Shape dough into a ball and place on a buttered baking sheet and flatten it, with the palm of your hand into an 8 inch round loaf. Dip a knife in the melted butter and slash cuts across the bread to form a cross (creating quarters), approx. 1/4 inch deep.

Brush bread with remaining melted butter and bake in a moderately well preheated oven 375 degrees for approx. 45 minutes or until the bread is a golden brown in color. Remove from the oven and tap it on the bottom, if bread is ready, it should have a hollow sound. Allow it to cool on a wire rack, wrapped in a kitchen towel. This prevents the bread from hardening from the sudden temperature change. This bread is good lukewarm or cooled.
I have this recipe for some time and have no idea where I picked it up.

Answer to:
From the December 1 newsletter. I am wondering if anyone has gotten one of those new egg McMuffin machines where u make the egg and muffin? Just wanted to know before I spend the $40.00 for one. Lu Ann in Iowa


Lu Ann, I have had one for almost a year now and really enjoy it. I love to fix sausage, egg and toast or Canadian bacon, egg and toast. I haven't tried it with the muffins yet. It is also great for boiling eggs for a salad. The eggs really peel easier I have found. If you get one I hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine. If you have several children I don't know how long it would take to fix each one a sandwich. I'm usually the only one eating when I use it.
Joyce, Killeen, TX


This is a reply to the problems people have with AOL e-mail. My suggestion is that they get a free Yahoo address. I use my Yahoo address for odd things, like when a website wants me to register and for when I travel as I can easily access it from any computer. I've never had a problem getting e-mail at that address, especially Yahoo Groups e-mail! Mail

Hello Nancy, I was wondering if you have ever tried the xpress101. I have been seeing it advertised on TV and was wondering if it is worth buying. I hope you know what I am talking about it. It has two compartments and you can cook eggs and make sandwiches and such thanks

Hi Nancy and everyone!
First of all, the 2 ingredient fudge is fantastic! My husband - who never goes into the kitchen - made 2 batches last Saturday and will do 3 more variations tomorrow. Right now I have 2 broken shoulders from a dumb accident so he's finding his way around the kitchen real well - but the fudge was a fun thing and have already "gifted" with it!

What I really want to know is --
Has anyone seen or heard an update on the Omelet in a Bag deal? They were so good and so handy. A friend even served them at a 12 year olds slumber party - the girls were so excited to do their own thing.
We loved them - and would like to make them again - but only if it's safe.

Does anyone know anything about this?
Thank you - and if I don't write again (typing is very hard) Happy Holidays to all of you.
Rosemarie in rural Kansas City


For Barbara in AL and TX and everybody that asked for the cheese dip recipe in 12-8-06 newsletter:

Mexican Cheese Dip
1½ to 2 pounds of white American cheese (I get it in the deli and ask them to cut a block instead of slicing it and grate it myself)
1 cup milk
1 small can chopped chilies

Put milk in a medium to large saucepan and warm it up to just before it would boil. Stir in chilies and add grated cheese a little at a time and stir constantly. When you have put in the last of the cheese and it has melted, it is ready to serve.

I don't remember where I got this recipe, except off the net.

Also, I would suggest not making the whole recipe until you know if you like it or not. I don't like it really hot so i didn't use many of the canned chiles. I just used a little of the cheese and a little milk and chilies. It tasted just like what I got at our Mexican restaurant.
Sandee in West TN


To Joyce in SC, (Dec. 8 newsletter) You mentioned that the amount of cream cheese wasn't given in the recipe for Creamsicle Pie that Lisa in Fort Worth sent in. I copied and pasted the recipe into my recipe file, and here is how it reads. Can't imagine why the amount didn't show up for you. Hope this clears it up. BTW, I haven't tried the recipe yet, but it sure sounds good. I love orange anything! Have very Merry Christmas.
Cheryl in Ohio

Creamsicle Pie
1 ( 8oz.) fat-free cream cheese
1 (16 oz.) Cool Whip®, thawed
1 cup orange juice

2 reduced fat graham cracker crusts

Soften cream cheese, mix with thawed Cool Whip; blend till creamy; add orange juice and blend with mixer till real creamy.

Sprinkle pudding in , blending well; add orange Jello, mix till well blended. Divide into two pie crusts; chill several hours before serving.

Merry Christmas to all.
Mary G Pueblo, Colorado


Jo Ann in the Dec.8th newsletter was asking for the recipe for SNOW BALLS or SHAGGY DATE COOKIES. These cookies were published in a cookbook my church made in the 60's.

2 well beaten eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup finely chopped dates
dash of salt

2 cups Rice Krispies
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 tsp. vanilla
2/3 cup coconut


Combine eggs, sugar, dates and salt, Turn into a cold lightly buttered skillet. Cook and stir constantly over low heat until ingredients are throughly mixed and mixture is thick, 18-20 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool a little, add cereal, nuts, and vanilla. Butter hands and shape into one inch balls, roll in coconut. Store in a covered container.

I had the recipe out to make them myself for a get together with our church choir. Hope you enjoy.
Sue from Lubbock

The same or similar recipe was sent in by Frances in Wesley Chapel, Julie in MD, Nell in VA, Mary in Oregon,


The two ingredient fudge was a hit tonight at my annual family cookie exchange. I made the peppermint chocolate pieces with chocolate icing then sprinkled crushed peppermint candy on top. Wow, it was great! Also made the raspberry flavored and a batch of the peanut flavored but the peppermint was the best. Of course, I had to give everyone the "secret" recipe. Thanks for all of the great recipes. Norma in NC


In the Dec. 6th. newsletter, Tina In Phx sent in her "Can't-Leave-Alone-Bars" recipe. Tina, thank you for the recipe. Talk about a decadent fudgy treat! I made it with a package of chocolate cake as I didn't have a box of white or yellow cake. If brownies mated with fudge, your recipe would be their offspring. For those of you who have been looking for a new recipe to make and give as a gift, this is it! The recipe makes a rich, dense, chocolaty, almost brownie-like bar that's out of this world! Its better than any brownie that I've ever tasted in the past. I'm going to add walnuts to it and make batches to give away this year as gifts. Its one of the easiest and best recipes that I've had the pleasure of trying thanks to Nancy's wonderful newsletter. Tina, bravo! Thank you so much for submitting the recipe!
LD


Hi Nancy: I just want to tell you that I have no trouble getting your newsletter and I thank you so much for all the work you do. To everyone, thank you for your recipes and happy thoughts throughout the year, I wish you all a very merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, and a happy healthy 2007. Kisses to your sweet furry associates.
Phyllis in Phoenix.


Hi again to Nancy and all. I don't know what I would do without the information gathered from this letter. I picked up a package of Andes peppermint crunch chips. I haven't opened the package yet, but wondered if anybody else has used them. I have been making the 2 ingredient fudge in various varieties and really like it. My husband still prefers the old fashioned fudge kind better. I was wondering if these Andes chips will melt as well as the regular chips. I thought they would be good with creamed cheese frosting and a little crushed peppermint mixed in. What do you think?
Thanks. Karen, Il


This for Glenda in NJ from the 12/08 newsletter who asked for a recipe for chocolate fudge that used chocolate chips, marshmallows and sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Glenda I hope this is the one. Haven't used it in awhile.
Evelyn in Tennessee

Creamy Dark Chocolate Fudge
3 (6 oz.) packages semisweet chocolate chips
1 (14 oz.) can Sweetened Condensed milk
2 cups miniature marshmallows
Dash salt
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt chips and miniature marshmallows with sweetened condensed milk and salt. Remove from heat; stir in nuts and vanilla. Spread evenly into wax paper-lined 8 or 9-inch square pan. Chill for 2 hours or until firm. Turn fudge onto cutting board; peel off paper and cut into squares. Store loosely covered at room temperature.


Hello to all the good folks out in Nancyland and of course to Nancy and her furry friends. My Furry buddy says hi to your furry friends. Now then, I am still after all these years and so many tries later I can't make a crust worth eating. It always comes out dry and you can't even try and roll it. So I was wondering,,,, Has anyone ever tried to make a dough for pies or even cookies or anything like that in the bread machine???? The only time I have a good dough it is in the bread machine. So I thought I would ask. Please help with this.
Colleen In Ontario Canada
who can't make a dough at all. Thank You all


Hi Nancy and everyone. Im hoping my neighbors towards the Saint Louis area are back with power, and have dug themselves out of the snow and ice. We are praying for you all.

I have to agree with Doris, S. Indiana (12/8)about the Easy Spinach Casserole that Marlene in Lake Conroe TX submitted in the 11/23 newsletter. It is wonderful! I took it to 2 of my 7 Christmas events to cook for, and it was a big hit! For a little variation, I added a can of sliced water chestnuts drained first to the casserole. After the 25-30 minutes of cooking time, I sprinkled croutons on top and baked another 5 minutes until the croutons were brown. So Yummy! Thanks Marlene, and thanks to Nancy for this fabulous newsletter! God Bless!
Dee in S. Illinois
