Subject: spiced zucchini rounds
Hi
I am looking for a recipe using zucchini that is soaked overnight in pickling lime.
And for the canning ingredients it uses cinnamon candy, vinegar, and sugar, and
maybe also red food coloring? It will remind you of spiced apple rings.
Can you help?
Thanks Brenda
Hi Brenda,
See below.
Phaed
Red Sweet Pickles
2 gal. cucumbers or zucchini, sliced
8 1/2 qt. water
2 c. pickling lime
1 c. vinegar (5% acidity)
1 oz. red food coloring
1 tbsp. alum
3 c. white vinegar (5% acidity)
3 c. water
8 cinnamon sticks
10 c. sugar
14 oz. pkg. red hots
2 tsp. salt
Peel, core and slice the cucumbers or zucchini 1/4 inch thick. Mix lime
and 8 1/2 quarts water and pour over cukes. Let stand 24 hours. Drain and
wash in cool water. Cover with cool water and let stand for 3 hours then
drain. In a large non - aluminum pan put the cucumber rings, 1 cup vinegar,
red food coloring, alum and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook
for 1 hour. Drain and discard liquid. In a large sauce pan bring 3 cups
vinegar, 3 cups water, cinnamon sticks, sugar, red hots and salt to a boil.
Pour over cucumbers and let stand overnight. Drain and reheat syrup. Pour
over rings. Do this for 3 days and on the 4th day, heat the rings and syrup
together. Spoon into clean, sterilized jars and seal. This makes about 10 to
12 pints.
The search engine tells me that someone's been looking for "egg balls" recipes.
Here are two kinds.
Phaed
Egg Balls
1 hard boiled egg
1 saltspoon cayenne
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. heavy cream
Rub yolk through sieve, add finely chopped white and remaining ingredients,
add an egg yolk to make right consistency to handle. Shape in small balls
and poach in water or stock. Serve in soup.
-------------------------------
Frigaletti (Egg Balls)
1 egg
Salt and pepper
Pinch parsley (optional)
1 tbsp. grated Romano cheese
2 tbsp. grated bread crumbs
Beat egg. Add salt and pepper to taste; parsley, Romano cheese and bread crumbs.
If necessary, add more cheese and bread crumbs so egg mixture is not watery.
Fry by teaspoonfuls in hot grease in frying pan. When egg ball is brown on both
sides, drop into simmering tomato sauce. Serve with spaghetti. Good Lenten meal.
Serves 2.
The search engine tells me that someone's been desperately searching for this recipe:
Claremont Diner Coconut Cream Pie
Basic pie dough for 1 crust pie
3 1/2 ounces sweetened shredded coconut (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 cups milk
1 envelope (about 2 1/2 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 large whole egg
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon vanilla pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup heavy cream, well chilled
1. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a large circle about
1/8 inch thick. Fit it, without stretching, into a 9- or 9-1/2 inch pie pan.
Trim off the excess dough, leaving a 3/4-inch overhang. Fold under the edge
of the dough, pressing along the rim of the pan and forming a high fluted border.
Line the dough with a sheet of buttered foil, buttered side down, and chill
while you preheat the oven to 375° F, with a rack in the lower third.
2. Bake the pie shell until the sides are set, about 12 minutes. Gently remove
the foil and continue to bake, pricking any air bubbles with a fork, until the
crust is pale golden and just baked through, about 8 minutes longer. Cool the
pie shell on a wire rack; leave the oven on.
3. Scatter the coconut over a baking pan and toast in the hot oven, stirring
once or twice, until medium golden brown, about 9 minutes (watch carefully,
to prevent burning). cool in the pan on a wire rack.
4. Place 1/2 cup cold milk in a mixing bowl or large measuring cup and sprinkle
with the gelatin, stirring once or twice to moisten. Set aside to soften for
about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, bring the remaining 2 1/2 cups milk nearly to a
boil in a heavy non-reactive saucepan over medium heat. When the gelatin is
soft, add the sugar, cornstarch, egg and egg yolks and whisk until very well
blended. gradually whisk a little of the hot milk into the gelatin mixture;
repeat this process once or twice. Pour the warmed gelatin mixture into the
saucepan with the hot milk and bring the mixture to a boil, whisking. Boil,
whisking constantly, for about 2 minutes. Strain the pastry cream into a clean
bowl; whisk in the butter and vanilla until smooth. Place a sheet of wax paper
or plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pastry cream and refrigerate,
stirring once or twice, until the pastry cream cools to room temperature.
5. Whip the cream until nearly stiff. Gently fold it into the pastry cream.
Place the pie pan on a dinner plate (to catch any coconut that falls from the
topping) and pour the filling into the cooled pie shell, mounding the filling
in the center. Scatter the toasted coconut over the surface of the filling,
covering it completely. Loosely cover and chill until the filling is set,
at least 2 hours.
Note: At the Claremont Diner, the Bavarian cream filling was topped with a
layer of whipped cream. If you'd like to make it that way, increase the amount
of cream to 1 1/4 cups. Whip as directed in step 5, adding 3 tablespoons of
confectioner's sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla to the cream. Fold slightly more
than 1/2 of the whipped cream into the pastry cream. Pour the filling into the
pie shell and chill the pie and the remaining whipped cream separately for about
20 minutes to firm up the filling slightly. With a spatula, gently spread the
reserved chilled whipped cream over the filling; mounding it smoothly; top with
the coconut and chill.
