Honey-Fire Nuts

 

Recipe By : Healthful cooking, Mary Carroll, Star Tribune, 11/11/99

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Appetizers And Snacks

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 cups whole almonds or Brazil nuts

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon apple juice or water

1 1/2 teaspoons dried red pepper flakes

 

Makes 4 cups.

 

Since nuts are traditional holiday appetizer fare, I make them extra

special with this spicy coating. This recipe is also great for hostess

gifts. They're tastiest served warm, so plan on heating them a few minutes

in a 300-degree oven before serving.

 

Place nuts in large bowl and lightly spray with water. Sprinkle with

cumin, tossing well.

 

In small saucepan over low heat, combine honey, juice and red pepper

flakes. Bring to boil. Remove from heat and drizzle over nuts. Place

nuts on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 300 degrees 30 minutes, turning

them every 10 minutes until lightly browned.

Tangy Cranberry Ice

 

Recipe By : Healthful cooking, Mary Carroll, Star Tribune, 11/11/99

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Desserts Fruits

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/2 cups water

1 cup maple syrup or sugar -- or to taste

2 cups fresh cranberries

2 envelopes unflavored gelatin -- ( 1/4 oz.)

1 cup cold water

1 teaspoon grated orange rind

 

Serves 6.

 

Ices and sherbets are supposed to refresh the palate between courses, but

mostly they're fun to serve. Try offering this jewel-colored ice as a

between-course bite. It makes a very elegant addition to your holiday

meals with very little trouble.

 

Place water, maple syrup and cranberries in large saucepan. Bring to boil

over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until cranberries pop.

Remove from heat.

 

Dissolve gelatin in 1 cup cold water. Stir in orange rind. Add to

cranberry mixture, stirring well. Heat 3 minutes to activate gelatin. Let

cool slightly.

 

Pour into freezer containers and freeze overnight. Before serving, cut

into chunks and blend briefly in food processor or blender until thick and

smooth.

Karen:

 

I was careless in sending this recipe. What is the gelatin substitute that

you have been recommending? I never use/make gelatin type foods so I

usually don't pay attention to those discussions. (I do like to keep the

recipes from Mary Carroll's Healthful Cooking column though.)

Kathleen & All:

I *finally* got a new computer yesterday! I got it set up yesterday

evening,

but this will be a lot of work. When I bought the last one, we had " PC

Anywhere "

and easily transferred things from one computer to the other. This time, I have

to set up my mail folders, mail filters, address book, bookmarks -- everything!

I have a lot of this at work and will put stuff on a disk or e-mail it, but it

will still take some time.

To answer your question -- I have been using Emes kosher " gelatin " . It's

vegetarian and available in unflavored and various flavors. I buy mine at a

local Seventh Day Adventist store. Pangea used to sell it, but now I see that

they sell " Kojel " brand. This is also vegetarian. You can buy it online from

Pangea: http://www.pangeaveg.com.

I've been pretty busy with Christmas shopping, gift wrapping, etc., and my

birthday is on Wednesday (hint hint!), so the new computer set up might be a

little slow-going. I sure am looking forward to being " back to normal " by

participating in all the lists more (especially my own!) and keeping in better

touch with everything!
