Subject: Frozen Nesselrode pie from TV Guide
Hi,
Hope you can help. Many years ago probably in the 70's or 80's
TV guide published a recipe for frozen Nesselrode pie. Pretty sure
it was frozen anyway. What I remember about it that was unique was
that it contained chestnut puree and Malaga wine. I also remember
that the food editor at the time was Helen Fiengold. Can you locate
this recipe? Thanks.
Steve
Hello Steve,
Sorry Steve, I could not locate a TV Guide pie recipe. The closest nesselrode
pie recipes that I could find to what you describe are the ones below. Most modern
versions of the pie omit the chestnut puree and use candied fruit instead. However,
I did find a nesselrode pudding recipe like that. See the bottom recipe.
Phaed
Nesselrode Pie
5 Eggs
1/2 c Sugar
1 1/2 tb Gelatin
1/4 c Water
2 c Whipping cream
2 tsp Vanilla
2 c Sweetened chestnut puree
5 oz Chopped candied chestnuts
1 Pie shell
Warm The Eggs In A Double Boiler. Whip them with an electric
mixer, and gradually beat in the sugar. Beat until the mixture
is thickened and forms soft peaks. Soften the gelatin in the
water and then dissolve over hot water. Beat the cream to soft
peaks. Fold the gelatin and vanilla into the eggs and then fold
in the whipped cream. Fold in the chestnut puree and the candied
chestnuts. Fill the crust and refrigerate to set.
Top with sweetened whipped cream.
------------------------------

1/4 c Sugar

1/4 cup sugar
Do Not Overbeat Or Overheat.
The somewhat thickened eggs should stand in soft peaks.
Dissolve over hot water;
1 1/2 TBS Gelatin 1/4 c Water
Fold the cooled gelatine very gently into the egg mixture.
Chill the mixture.
While the mixture is chilling, beat over a bowl of ice until stiff;
2 c Whipping cream
Do Not Overbeat The Cream.
It should still have a glistening finish to it.
Add the cream to the egg mixture.
Dribble into it;
2 tsp Vanilla

1 c Sweetened chestnut puree or 1/3 cup preserved ginger
or 1/2 cup sliced candied kumquats

repeat layering until mold is complete with ladyfingers on top
refrigerate about 12 hours before unmolding.
Can serve topped with slightly sweetened whipping cream.
----------------------------------------------
Nesselrode Pudding
(Chestnut Pudding)
1/2 cup chestnut puree
1/4 cup crystallized cherries
1/2 cup candied orange peel
1/2 cup Marsala
1/2 cup currants
1/2 cup sultanas
1 dessertspoon Maraschino liquor
2 cups whipping cream
2 cups milk
5 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
Dice glaceed and candied things into bits and macerate them in the
Marsala. Wash the currants and sultanas and soak them in warm water;
when it's time to use them drain them well and dry them thoroughly in
a clean dish towel, if you have any, or paper towels. In a heavy
bottomed saucepan, heat the milk slowly until it boils. Separate the
eggs. Reserve the whites for a chemistry experiment in the back of
the refrigerator; place the yolks in a bowl and add the sugar,
beating vigorously until the mixture is light and frothy, which takes
some doing. By then the milk should be boiling. Pour it over the mixture
in the bowl, then return the contents of the bowl to the saucepan.
Stir religiously, scraping all the corners and cook over low heat until
the custard thickens. Strain the custard through a sieve. Mix the
chestnut puree, the Maraschino and the custard together well, then add
the candied things and the raisinoids.
Whip the cream until it is very stiff, and fold it carefully into
the mixture. Pour it into a charlotte mold (I used a 2-quart plastic tub)
lined with waxed paper. Cover tightly with foil and freeze for 24 hours.

Subject: Colonial sugar cone
Hello,
back in the old days...Sugar was made into cones...and as
it was needed...it was chipped off...and the cone was put
away....I'm looking for how to make a sugar cone...and how
it was stored.any help is most appreciated...thank you
Hello Harry,
Well, those sugar cones were made much the same way they're still made
today in Mexico. They're called "piloncillo" in Mexico, and they are made
by pouring raw molten sugar into wooden sugar molds and allowing it to harden.
This form of sugar is used in manufacturing tequila and mescal. You can often
find small piloncillo for sale in Mexican groceries in the U.S.
These aren't the kind of things you make at home unless you have a big cauldron
of bubbling, molten raw sugar in your back yard along with a dozen or so wooden
sugar molds.
The molds themselves have become collector's items in the U.S., although not
all of them date from colonial times. Some are just bought in Mexico and brought
to the U.S.
I don't know whether the links are still good, but I have links to pictures
of wooden sugar molds here:
Sugar Molds
As for storage, I don't imagine they need much, except for keeping them dry.
